Abstract
A sleep-encouraging device for simulating a mother's heartbeat to a child lying in a bed. The device comprises a hollow flexible bladder (14) for disposing near or at least partially under the child, an air pressure pulse generator (18), and a flexible tube (16) operatively connecting the pulse generator to the bladder The pulse generator preferably a piston pump (22) generates rhythmical air pressure pulses in accordance with a pre-set regime, so that in operation those air pressure pulses are transferred from the generator to the bladder and cause the bladder cyclically to inflate and deflate with a rhythm simulating a heartbeat. Noises simulating the heartbeat may also generated, either by the air pressure or otherwise, to coincide with the rhythmical air pressure pulses. Preferably the pre-set regime and/or the volume of the heartbeat noises may be adjusted.
Description
Infant Sleep-Encouragina Device 2359994 The present invention relates to a
device for simulating a mother's heartbeat in a bed for a child, and also to a simulating method for such a heartbeat.
Babies and young people (herein collectively referred to as children) may experience sleep difficulties, leading to a lack of sleep. This lack of sleep can have a profound effect on the health of a child, not to mention the consequent effect on parents. The invention stems from investigations into ways of mitigating these problems and providing a child with an environment in which he or she may sleep more easily.
According to the present invention, there is provided a device for simulating a mother's heartbeat to a child lying in a bed, comprising a hollow flexible bladder for disposing near or at least partially under the child, an air pressure pulse generator which generates simulated heart-beat rhythmical air pressure pulses in accordance with a pre-set regime, and a flexible tube operatively connecting the pulse generator to the bladder, whereby in operation air pressure pulses are transferred from the generator to the bladder so causing the bladder cyclically to inflate and deflate with a rhythm simulating a heartbeat.
As the beat of a real heart comprises both a physical pressure pulse as well as an audible beat, it is preferred that the generator also produces pressure pulses in the audio spectrum whereby in use the bladder will issue heartbeat simulation sounds to the child. The audible beat may instead be generated electronically, timed to coincide with the main pressure pulse and used to drive a speaker at the generator whereby the sound is directed down the tube.
The preferred form of the present invention therefore provides a device which, when incorporated into a bed or cot, will simulate both the audible and physical beat of a heart as heard by a foetus within a mother's womb. In this way a comforting environment is created within which a child can relax and sleep.
Advantageously, the rate, intensity and volume of the simulated heartbeat regime may be adjustable so that an optimum regime may be set lo for any individual. Preferably, therefore, the frequency of the pulses, the strength of the pulses, and the volume of the beat noise are adjustable. Some or all of these objectives can be met by altering the magnitude of the pressure pulses in the audio spectrum so that the volume and intensity of the heartbeat simulation sounds may be changed.
When in use, the bladder needs to positioned close enough to a child such that the child can benefit. This can be practically achieved in a number of convenient ways. The bladder may be incorporated within the structure of a specially designed mattress. Alternatively, the bladder may be relatively thin compared to its area such that it may be disposed on a mattress, at least partially beneath the child. Yet another possibility is for a relatively thin bladder to be incorporated in a specially formed sheet intended for use on a mattress, possibly beneath a normal sheet.
To further the womb-simulating effect of the present invention, it is possible to incorporate the bladder in a sleeping bag type construction, within which the child may sleep. This allows the bladder, and simulated heart beat to originate from multiple directions around a child, as it would in the womb.
It is preferred that the pulse generator is situated at a safe distance from the bladder, such as outside a cot, within which the bladder may be placed, possibly using a flexible tube. Such an arrangement prevents the child from coming to any direct contact with and possible harm from the pulse generator. It also prevents the incidental noise caused by the functioning of the pulse generator from disturbing the sleep of the child.
The pulse generator may be powered by one of electric mains power (but preferably through a low voltage transformer), batteries, a clockwork mechanism or any other suitable means. Preferably the pulse generator includes one of a piston or diaphragm pump, fan, bellows or paddle to generate the air pressure pulses.
According to the present invention there is also provided a method of encouraging a child to sleep, comprising positioning a bladder adjacent or at least partially under a child, and supplying simulated heart-beat rhythmical air pressure pulses in accordance with a pre-set regime to the bladder whereby the air pressure pulses cause the bladder cyclically to inflate and deflate with a rhythm simulating a heartbeat.
It is highly preferred, for the reasons discussed above that the air pressure pulses are produced by a generator sited remotely from the bladder and connected thereto by a flexible tube. It is also preferred for a number of reasons, including low noise levels, that the pressure pulses are produced by a piston or diaphragm pump driven by an electric motor.
By way of example only, one embodiment of device according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a stylised view of a device according to the present 5 invention associated with a mattress; and Figure 2 is a diagrammatic view of the embodiment of Figure 1 showing more detail.
Referring initially to Figure 1, there is shown a mattress 10 with a blanket 12 positioned thereover. An air bladder 14 formed from a flexible lo material such as rubber or plastics is located between the mattress 10 and the blanket 12 (which is shown partially lifted for clarity). The bladder is hollow and its internal cavity is in communication with an air tube 16. The air tube 16 connects the bladder to a control unit 18 which incorporates an air pressure pulse generator. The pulse generator causes rhythmical air pressure pulses which travel down the flexible tube 16 to the bladder 14. This causes the bladder to expand and contract thereby generating a physical sensation akin to the beating of a heart, which is sensed by a person (not shown) lying on the mattress. At the same time the pulse generator generates a sound intended to simulate the noise of a heartbeat and this is also directed down the flexible tube 16 so that a person lying on the mattress may hear the simulated heart beat noise in unison with the simulated physical movement of the bladder.
The noise generated may be a direct result of the pressure pulse, for example if the pulse is in the audio spectrum. Alternatively an electrically- - 0 generated sound may be played back by a speaker (not shown) contained in the control unit.
In Figure 2 the same embodiment of the present invention is shown, but a simplified view of the internal components of the control unit 18 is included as well as a cross section of the bladder 14. The bladder 14 is located between the mattress 10 and the blanket 12, and the flexible tube 16 connects the cavity 20 of the bladder to the control unit 18. A child sleeps on the blanket 12 and rests at least partially over the bladder 14.
The control unit includes a piston pump 22 to which the flexible tube 16 lo is coupled. A piston 24 is driven back and forth within the piston pump housing 22 by the rotation of a crank wheel 26, coupled to the end of the piston rod 27 by a connecting rod 28. The crank wheel 26 is turned by an electric motor 30, through a suitable reduction gear box, the operation of the motor being governed by a controller 32, and powered by a battery 34. The piston cyclically compresses and expands the air within the cylinder and forces a pressure pulse along the tube 16 to the bladder 14. The frequency, strength and volume of the heartbeat simulation regime can be altered by an adjustment means including a knob 36. For example, a faster rotation of the crank wheel 26 will give a faster simulated heartbeat.
The present invention has been discussed exclusively in relation to children, but the invention is not limited to use with such individuals. It could also be used by adults without any alteration, except perhaps in the force of the air pressure pulse.
