A rocking device, having a drive mechanism (34) contained in a housing (10). A rocking arm (36) extends outwardly from the housing (10) towards an engagement formation for contacting an article to be rocked in use. The rocking arm (36) has a rigid arm portion for connection to the drive mechanism (34) and an adaptable portion for altering the spacing and/or orientation between the rigid arm portion and the engagement formation. The drive mechanism (34) and rigid rocking arm portion are operatively connected such that the drive mechanism (34) imparts a repeating motion to the rocking arm in use. The adaptable arm portion may be resiliently deformable or flexible, e.g. to allow angular orientation adjustment and length adjustment. A universal device of this kind may be used for rocking a number of different articles, including baby bouncers, rocking cribs, car seats and the like. |
