Child Motion Device
First Claim
1. A child motion device comprising:
- a frame providing a structural support relative to a reference surface and comprising an arm pivotably coupled to the structural support;
a child supporting device coupled to the arm and spaced from the reference surface by the frame; and
a drive system configured to move the arm such that the child supporting device reciprocates along a motion path at a frequency within a range from about 0.37 Hz to about 0.62 Hz.

Abstract
A child motion device includes a frame that provides a structural support relative to a reference surface and that includes an arm pivotably coupled to the structural support. A child supporting device is coupled to the arm and spaced from the reference surface by the frame. A drive system is configured to move the arm such that the child supporting device reciprocates along a motion path at a frequency within a range from about 0.37 Hz to about 0.62 Hz. In some cases, a further drive system is configured to oscillate the child supporting device generally along the axis of rotation at a frequency in a range from about 2.85 Hz to about 3.15 Hz.

11. A child motion device comprising:
-
a frame providing a structural support relative to a reference surface and comprising an arm pivotably coupled to the structural support; a drive system configured to move the arm about a generally vertical axis of rotation from which the arm is cantilevered; and a child supporting device coupled to the arm and spaced from the reference surface by the frame; wherein the axis of rotation is offset from vertical such that the child supporting device reciprocates along a motion path comprising both azimuthal and altitudinal changes. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
