  • Publication number: 20170318978
    Abstract: A smart powered rocking bed is disclosed comprising a plurality of vertical and horizontal actuators in contact with a rocking frame configured to receive the rocking bed, the electronic actuators configured to act together to rock the bed in three dimensions. The smart powered rocking bed also includes a digital processor configured to electrically drive the actuators in a plurality of predetermined multi-directional and simultaneous ocean-like motions over a period of time provided for a user's choice. The smart powered rocking bed additionally includes a linkage configured to connect the rocking frame to the actuators and mechanically provide the multi-directional and simultaneous ocean-like motions in the three dimensions over time as chosen by the user. A smart powered rocking bed system further includes a health care database, a discrete personal digital device such as a cell phone and health care telemetry sensors placed on or in a user thereof.

  • Patent number: 8789220
    Abstract: A powered rocking bed, as disclosed, comprises a longitudinal push-pull rod medially connected to a powered driver, the rod configured to provide an oscillating push-pull longitudinal force on a first and second distal end about an axis there between and a plurality of upper and lower rollers disposed adjacent each distal end of the longitudinal push-pull rod.

  • Patent number: 8707477
    Abstract: A powered rocking bed comprises a body support member connected to at least one stationary pivot disposed there beneath and connected via at least one driving linkage to an oscillating powered driver also there beneath, the driving linkage and the pivot configured to move both a head-end and a foot-end of the body support member in a longitudinally complementary oscillating crescent-shaped wave motion comprising a rising convex wave followed by a falling concave wave and inertial transitions there between. The crescent-shaped inertial wave motion is configured to resemble an ocean wave based on a wind blowing across the rising convex wave. A predetermined distance of the stationary pivot from the supporting structure may determine a slope of both the convex and the concave wave motion. The slope may be maximized based on the pivot located in a plane with the body support member and flattened located at a distance therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20130007958
    Abstract: A powered rocking bed, as disclosed, comprises a longitudinal push-pull rod medially connected to a powered driver, the rod configured to provide an oscillating push-pull longitudinal force on a first and second distal end about an axis there between and a plurality of upper and lower rollers disposed adjacent each distal end of the longitudinal push-pull rod. The disclosed bedding device also includes a head and a foot longitudinal slide rail configured to receive a respective distal end of the push-pull rod, the slide rails configured to provide a sliding surface for the lower cam rollers and transfer the push-pull force into an oscillating head-foot vertical force at the upper rollers. The disclosure further includes a body support member medially connected to a pivot proximal the axis, the member configured to receive the oscillating head-foot vertical force from the upper rollers on a respective head and foot portion thereof.
