Abstract

A vibrating baby attachment device is disclosed which is a portable apparatus that connects to baby gear and equipment and which vibrates to calm a baby. The vibrating baby attachment device comprises a base component that houses a motor assembly and a power component. The power component is in communication with the motor assembly for supplying power to the motor assembly. The base component further comprises a plurality of switches for controlling the motor assembly and power component. The base component can also comprise a strap and/or a clip to secure the device to the baby equipment, and padding to provide a buffer against unwanted sounds. Further, the device can comprise an audible component housed within the base component, which acts to produce music and white noise, and is typically electrically powered.

Claims

1. A vibrating baby attachment device comprising:

a base component comprising a first end, a second end, opposing sides, a back surface and a front surface;

a motor assembly housed within the base component; and

a power component housed within the base component and in communication with the motor assembly for supplying power to the motor assembly.

2. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 1, wherein the power component is a battery and the base component comprises a compartment for encasing the battery.

3. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 1, wherein the power component is a power cord that is plugged into an electrical receptacle or a car adapter to provide power to the motor assembly.

4. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 1, further comprising an audible component housed within the base component.

5. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 4, wherein the audible component produces sounds.

6. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 1, further comprising a power switch secured to the base component for turning on and off the device.

7. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 6, further comprising a switch secured to the base component for controlling strength of vibrations from the device.

8. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 1, further comprising a strap secured to each of the opposing sides of the base component.

9. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 1, further comprising a clip secured to the back surface of the base component.

10. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 1, further comprising padding secured to the back surface of the base component for buffering unwanted sounds.

11. A vibrating baby attachment device comprising:

a base component comprising a first end, a second end, opposing sides, a back surface and a front surface;

a motor assembly housed within the base component;

an audible component housed within the base component for producing sounds; and

a battery housed within a compartment of the base component and in communication with the motor assembly for supplying power to the motor assembly and the audible component.

12. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 11, further comprising a power switch secured to the base component for turning on and off the device.

13. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 12, further comprising a switch secured to the base component for controlling strength of vibrations from the device.

14. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 13, further comprising a volume switch secured to the base component for adjusting the volume of the sounds.

15. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 11, further comprising padding secured to the back surface of the base component for buffering unwanted sounds.

16. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 11, further comprising a strap secured to each of the opposing sides of the base component.

17. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 11, further comprising a clip secured to the back surface of the base component.

18. A vibrating baby attachment device comprising:

a base component comprising a first end, a second end, opposing sides, a back surface and a front surface;

a motor assembly housed within the base component for producing a vibrational movement;

an audible component housed within the base component for producing sounds;

a battery housed within a compartment of the base component and in communication with the motor assembly for supplying power to the motor assembly and the audible component; and

a clip and a strap secured to the back surface of the base component for securing the device to an object.

19. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 18, further comprising padding secured to the back surface of the base component for buffering unwanted sounds.

20. The vibrating baby attachment device of claim 18, further comprising a power switch, a switch for controlling strength of vibrations, and a volume switch secured to the base component for adjusting the volume of the sounds.
