Abstract
A rocking footstool comprises a base and a main structure which is mounted on the base and is formed of two rocking mechanisms and two footrests. The rocking mechanisms are formed of a transmission wheel, and an action rod which is fastened with the transmission wheel. The transmission wheels of the rocking mechanisms are driven by a motor. The two footrests are movably fastened with the action rods such that the footrests sway in a reciprocating manner.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A rocking footstool comprising:
a base rested on a surface; and a main structure mounted on said base and comprising:
two horizontal rocking mechanisms, with each being formed of a frame, a transmission wheel fastened with said frame and driven by a motor, and an action rod fastened movably with said transmission wheel in conjunction with two auxiliary rods whereby said action rods of said two horizontal rocking mechanisms act in opposite directions; and
two footrests, with each being provided with a fastening member having a locating hole whereby said two footrests are respectively fastened with said action rod of said two horizontal rocking mechanisms by said fastening member thereof such that said two footrests sway horizontally in opposite directions in a reciprocating manner.
2 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said action rods of said horizontal rocking mechanisms are provided at a top end with a plurality of slots; wherein said fastening members of said footrests are provided with a retaining piece whereby said retaining piece cooperates with said slots of said action rods to enable said footrests to be tilted.
3 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said base is rotatably mounted on a rotary seat.
4 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 1 , wherein said two footrests are provided in an interior with a vibration unit having a massaging effect.
5 . A rocking footstool comprising:
a base rested on a surface; and a main structure mounted on said base and comprising:
two horizontal rocking mechanisms, with each being formed of a frame, a transmission wheel fastened with said frame and driven by a motor, and an action rod fastened movably with said transmission wheel in conjunction with two auxiliary rods whereby said action robs of said horizontal rocking mechanisms act in opposite directions;
an action frame provided with a first planar surface and a second planar surface, which are in turn provided with a fitting body and an insertion rod, with said fitting body being fastened with one of said two action rods; and a first footrest and a second footrest, with said first footrest being fastened with said first planar surface of said action frame, said second footrest being provided with a fastening member by which said second footrest is fastened with other one of said two action rods whereby said first footrest and said second footrest sway horizontally in the same direction, or in opposite directions in a reciprocating manner.
6 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 5 , wherein said action rods of said horizontal rocking mechanisms are provided at a top end with a plurality of slots; wherein said fastening members of said two footrests are provided with a retaining piece whereby said retaining piece cooperates with said slots of said action rods to enable said footrests to be tilted.
7 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 5 , wherein said base is rotatably mounted on a rotary seat.
8 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 5 , wherein said two footrests are provided in an interior with a vibration unit having a massaging effect.
9 . A rocking footstool comprising:
a main body rested on a surface; and a main structure mounted on said base and comprising:
two vertical rocking mechanisms, with each being formed of a frame, a transmission wheel fastened with said frame and driven by a motor, and an action rod fastened movably with said transmission wheel in conjunction with two auxiliary rods whereby said action rods act vertically in opposite directions; and
a first footrest and a second footrest, with said first footrest and said second footrest being provided with a fastening member, said first footrest being fastened by said fastening member thereof with one of said two action rods, said second footrest being fastened by said fastening member thereof with other one of said two action rods whereby said first footrest and said second footrest sway vertically in opposite directions in a reciprocating manner.
10 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 9 , wherein said action rods of said vertical rocking mechanisms are provided at a top end with a plurality of slots; wherein said fastening members of said two footrests are provided with a retaining piece whereby said retaining piece cooperates with said slots of said action rods to enable said footrests to be titled.
11 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 9 , wherein said is rotatably mounted on a rotary seat.
12 . The rocking footstool as defined in claim 9 , wherein said two footrests are provided in an interior with a vibration unit having a massaging effect.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
