CONTROL DEVICE FOR A CHILDREN'S BOUNCER

摘要

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a children's bouncer apparatus. In various embodiments, the apparatus includes a support frame, seat assembly configured to support a child, and bouncer control device. The support frame includes one or more semi-rigid support arms that extend above a base portion and suspend the seat assembly above the base portion. The bouncer control device is configured to impart a driving force on the seat assembly via a magnetic drive assembly, thereby causing the seat assembly to continuously oscillate at the natural frequency of the children's bouncer.

主权项

1. A bouncer control device for controlling the motion of a children's bouncer, the bouncer control device comprising:
a housing configured to be secured to the children's bouncer; a mobile member operatively connected to the housing and configured to move relative to the housing and independently from the children's bouncer; a first magnetic component operatively connected to the housing; a second magnetic component operatively connected to the mobile member such that, as the mobile member moves, the second magnetic component moves toward and away from the first magnetic component, wherein at least one of the first magnetic component and second magnetic component comprises an electromagnet configured to create a magnetic force with the other of the first and second magnetic components when supplied with electric current; and a bouncer control circuit configured to incite a magnetic force causing the mobile member to oscillate within the housing.
