Child motion apparatus
First Claim
1. A child motion apparatus comprising:
- a base frame assembly for providing standing support on a floor;
a column connected with the base frame assembly;
a support arm extending generally horizontally relative to the column, the support arm having a first and a second end portion, the first end portion being assembled with the column and having a channel extending generally vertically, the support arm further being connected with the column via a hinge about which the support arm is rotatable generally horizontally relative to the column;
a child seat connected with the second end portion of the support arm;
a vertical actuating mechanism supported by the base frame assembly and operable to drive the column to slide upward and downward relative to the base frame assembly; and
a horizontal actuating mechanism operable to drive the support arm to oscillate generally horizontally relative to the column, the horizontal actuating mechanism including a driving part movable along a circular path and guided for sliding movement along the channel at the first end portion of the support arm, wherein a circular motion of the driving part causes the driving part to slide along the channel and thereby drives an oscillating movement of the support arm.

27. A child motion apparatus comprising:
-
a base frame assembly for providing standing support on a floor; a column connected with the base frame assembly; a support arm extending generally horizontally relative to the column, the support arm having a first and a second end portion, the first end portion being assembled with the column, and the second end portion having a seat mount; a vertical actuating mechanism supported by the base frame assembly and operable to drive the column to slide upward and downward relative to the base frame assembly; a horizontal actuating mechanism operable to drive the support arm to oscillate generally horizontally relative to the column, each of the horizontal actuating mechanism and the vertical actuating mechanism being electrically driven in an independent manner; and a child seat detachably installable on the seat mount of the support arm, wherein the child seat includes a support frame having two curved foot portions, a surrounding frame connected with the support frame, and a connector disposed between the two foot portions, the connector being engaged with the seat mount when the child seat is installed on the support arm and disengaged from the seat mount when the child seat is removed from the support arm, the curved foot portions providing independent support for the child seat and allowing the child seat to rock on a floor surface when the child seat is removed from the support arm and used as a standalone chair. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A child motion apparatus comprising:
-
a base frame assembly for providing standing support on a floor; a column connected with the base frame assembly; a support arm extending generally horizontally relative to the column, the support arm having a first and a second end portion, the first end portion being assembled with the column, and the second end portion having a seat mount, the seat mount having a protuberance; a vertical actuating mechanism supported by the base frame assembly and operable to drive the column to slide upward and downward relative to the base frame assembly; a horizontal actuating mechanism operable to drive the support arm to oscillate generally horizontally relative to the column, each of the horizontal actuating mechanism and the vertical actuating mechanism being electrically driven in an independent manner; and a child seat affixed with a connector having an opening, the child seat being detachably installable on the seat mount with the protuberance engaged into the opening, the protuberance and the opening having mutually engaging shapes that are rotationally symmetrical so that the child seat is installable on the seat mount in different orientations. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36)
