Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for taking care of infants, and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism comprises a support, a first motion assembly and a second motion assembly, wherein a seat is arranged on the support, and since the first motion assembly and the second motion assembly are both arranged on the support, the first motion assembly drives the seat to swing in a first direction relative to the support, and the second motion assembly drives the seat to swing in a second direction relative to the support. Since the first direction intersects with the second direction, the motion of the seat is the superposition of the swinging in the first direction and the swinging in the second direction.

Abstract: An infant care apparatus capable of providing various swing motions is disclosed. The infant care apparatus includes a base, a sliding mount, and a seat frame. The base has a concave surface. The sliding mount has a convex surface matching with the concave surface and disposed opposite to the concave surface. The sliding mount slides above the concave surface by the convex surface. The seat frame is fixed on the sliding mount to be moved together with the sliding mount. Thereby, the seat frame together with the sliding mount can swing relative to the base in two dimensions. The infant care apparatus can provide various swing motions without any pendulum arm to child sitting thereon. Besides, the infant care apparatus can be assembled in a compact size facilitating transport.

Abstract: A leisure rocking chair includes a seat, a backrest, a fixed seat, a rocking base and a rocking mechanism. The fixed base includes a horizontal beam on an upper portion thereof. The rocking mechanism includes front and rear rocking rods and a connecting rod. The front and rear rocking rods, the horizontal beam, and the connecting rod are pivotably connected. A fixed support is mounted to the connecting rod. The rocking base is fixed to the fixed support. A positioning plate is mounted to the fixed base and includes a plurality of positioning holes. The rocking mechanism includes an adjusting seat adjacent to the positioning plate. An adjusting lever is mounted to the adjusting seat and includes a tail portion extendible into one of the plurality of positioning holes to fix the rocking mechanism. The adjusting lever includes a control arm on a head portion thereof.

Abstract: A rocking chair (1) is provided with a seat (30), a projecting member (40) provided on the lower side of the seat (30) and having a convex surface (41a) forming a part of a spherical surface (b) centered on a point (A) located above the seat (30), swivel casters (20) in contact with the convex surface (41a) of the projecting member (40) and guiding the projecting member (40) such that the projecting member (40) can rock along the spherical surface (b), and a support member (10) for the chair. The swivel casters (20) are mounted such that the axes (a) of swivel shafts (22) of the swivel casters (20) pass through the center point (A) of the spherical surface (b), and the seat (30) is guided in the direction of a force applied by rollers (25) of the swivel casters (20). Rocking of the projecting member (40) is smoother than that in rocking chairs using ball casters instead of the swivel casters (20), and noise caused by rocking is drastically reduced.

Abstract: A bouncer includes a seat, a first connecting member, a support member, and an engaging member. The first connecting member has a first end and a second end. The first end of the first connecting member is connected to the seat. The support member is rotatably connected to the second end of the first connecting member. The engaging member is movably disposed in the support member and capable of moving between a locked position and an unlocked position, so as to selectively restrain the support member from rotating. Accordingly, the bouncer of the invention can be operated in different using states.

Abstract: A swivel rocker chair connection assembly facilitates construction of a swivel rocker chair and allows for the secure and stable operation of the chair. The chair includes a base portion, a seat portion and a connection assembly having at least one dual washer plate adapted to engage one or more rocker spring members positioned and engaged with the chair base and seat portions.

Abstract: A swivel rocker is provided that includes a surface designed to contact a floor so as to facilitate rocking in two directions along a line while limiting rocking in other directions and to inhibit excessive rocking in at least one direction along the line. The swivel rocker also includes a swivel portion such that a seat may be rotated relative to the two directions of facilitated rocking. The swivel portion allows a user to alter the directions of facilitated rocking relative to their orientation on the seat. The rocking surface inhibits excessive rocking in the at least one direction to help prevent the user from tipping over in the chair. Under some embodiments, the swivel rocker is formed of two rockers having a curved portion designed to contact the floor and an additional portion that inhibits excessive rocking. The additional portion extends from the curved portion in several embodiments.

Abstract: A furniture item includes a support member and a rotatably pinned mechanism operable in rocking and reclining motions. The mechanism includes first and second side plates; a first pair of forward link members each rotatably connected to one of the side plates; a pantograph linkage set connected to the first pair of forward link members to extend and retract a footrest assembly in the reclining motion; and a drive rod rotatable between the side plates. Rotating the drive rod extends or retracts the pantograph linkage set. An escutcheon connected to the drive rod has a snap-engaged handle to manually rotate the drive rod. At least one U-shaped spring connected between the support member and the mechanism allows rocking motion. A seat pan has flat body springs extending over a seat pan aperture to support an occupant. A detent at one end of each flat spring engages the seat pan.

Abstract: A torso exercise machine includes a frame designed to rest upon a floor surface; a seat pivotally mounted on the frame; at least one handlebar pivotally mounted on the frame; and a link pivotally interconnected between the seat and the handlebar. The link constrains the seat and the handlebar to pivot in opposite directions relative to the frame. A resistance device may be interconnected between the handlebar and the frame to resist pivoting of the handlebar and the seat toward one another.

Abstract: A horizontal gliding chair has a flat seat and a seat back located at an angle of approximately 75 degrees to the seat back. Connected to the seat are four symmetrically placed brackets that are connected to four shoulders. The shoulders pivot slightly within the seat brackets. Four symmetrically placed arcuate rocking members are connected to the shoulders, respectively, by legs. The front right and left rocker feet are connected to each other. The rear left and right connecting feet are connected to each other. The front and rear rocker feet are also pivotably connected to each other by a brace connector. The base of the seat back is located in front of the rear brace pivot hole. The chair seat moves in a horizontal front and back direction. During this motion, the cooperation between the rocker feet, braces and rocker connector allows the seat to travel forward or backward in a smooth, horizontal motion.

Abstract: A leisure chair comprising a base, a sitting structure, and a backrest. The base is provided with a pivot on which a supporting frame is rotatably mounted. The sitting structure comprises a seat and two armrests. The backrest is pivoted with the seat and is fastened with the armrests. The sitting structure is pivotally mounted on the supporting frame of the base such that the sitting structure turns horizontally along with the supporting frame on the pivot. The armrests are provided with a plurality of support arms, which are fastened pivotally with a plurality of swing arms of the supporting frame, thereby enabling the sitting structure to engage in a rocking movement. The seat and the backrest can be adjusted for reclining.
