Portable device for sleep-inducing and pacifying crying infants

Abstract

A portable manually or mechanically manipulated child pacifying and sleep-inducing device is disclosed for use which comprised of two parallel posts, a square stand and a horizontal bar jointly connected to one another. The device includes a set of springs and safety cords connected to the horizontal bar and to the adjustable longitudinal hard plastic hanger support means by two sets of stationary clips, one set attached near both ends of the horizontally positioned bar, and the other set centrally positioned on the longitudinal adjustable hard plastic hanger support means. A breathable fabric hangs from the longitudinal adjustable hard plastic support means to accommodate therein infants of different heights and sizes.

What I claim as my invention is:  
     
         1 . A device for inducing infants to sleep and pacifying crying infants; said device comprising of two parallel tube posts each lower ends connected to a joint supported by tubes connected jointly to form a square stand positioned opposite said horizontally positioned tube jointly connected to both upper ends of said two parallel tube posts; a set of stationary clips are attached one each near both ends of said horizontally positioned tube jointly connected to both ends of said two parallel tube posts; a set of springs and safety cords means enclosed in a casing providing access protection, said upper ends of said springs and safety cords are attached to said set of stationary clips near both ends of said horizontally positioned tube connected to both upper ends of said two parallel tube posts; said lower ends of said springs and safety cords are attached to a separate set of stationary clips centrally positioned on the longitudinal adjustable hard plastic support means for providing hanger for said breathable fabric where an infant is put to rest therein, which gives said infant a feeling of being cuddled by a mother's arm and thus, a feeling of security that produces a soothing and calming effect; a self-contained housing means with switches for providing energized musical lullaby and said resiliently upwardly and downwardly sequential and repetitive motions of said breathable fabric which gives said infant a feeling experienced as if being suspended in an amniotic fluid inside said mother's womb which produces a sleep-inducing effect, is attached to one of said two parallel tube posts; and it's arm to said lower ends of said spring and safety cord.  
     
     
         2 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , in which: a breathable fabric is hanged on said longitudinal adjustable hard plastic hanger support means wherein an infant is put to rest by manually manipulating downwardly said top of said hard plastic hanger support means producing a resiliently upwardly and downwardly sequential and repetitive motions of about 4 to about 8 inches and having a frequency in the range of about 40 to about 60 sequences per minute which gives said infant a feeling experienced as if being suspended in an amniotic fluid inside the mother's womb which produces a sleep-inducing effect.  
     
     
         3 . A device as claimed in  claim 2 , in which: a breathable fabric is hanged on said longitudinal adjustable hard plastic hanger support means where an infant is put to rest therein, and said self-contained housing means with switches is switched on producing a resiliently upwardly and downwardly sequential and repetitive motions of about 4 to about 8 inches and having a frequency in the range of about 40 to about 60 sequences per minute which give said infant a feeling of being cuddled by a mother's arm and thus, a feeling of security that produces a soothing and calming effect; likewise, gives said infant's feeling experienced as if being suspended in an amniotic fluid inside the mother's womb which produces a sleep-inducing effect.  
     
     
         4 . A device as claimed in  claim 3 , including: an adjustment button means in one side of said longitudinal hard plastic hanger support means for providing proper height adjustment of said breathable fabric according to said height of said infant as said infant is put to rest therein.  
     
     
         5 . A method for pacifying and inducing an infant in an age range from zero to eight months comprising of placing said infant in said breathable fabric having a longitudinal direction with said infant's body extending longitudinally along said breathable fabric; manually manipulating said top of said hard plastic hanger support means producing a repetitive, sequential and resiliently upwardly and downwardly motions of about 4 to about 8 inches and having a frequency of about 40 to about 60 sequences per minute.  
     
     
         6 . A method for pacifying and inducing an infant of less than nine-month old comprising of placing said infant in said breathable fabric having a longitudinal direction with said infant's body extending longitudinally along said breathable fabric; switching on said self-contained housing means with switches, for producing energized musical lullaby and repetitive, sequential and a resiliently upwardly and downwardly motions of about 4 to about 8 inches and having a frequency in the range of about 40 to about 60 sequences per minute.  
     
     
         7 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said joint means are tee joint and elbow joint.  
     
     
         8 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said two parallel tube posts are connected at the middle.  
     
     
         9 . A device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said housing means includes an arm which moves along said spring and safety cord casing slit to move said set of springs on a downwardly motion, producing a repetitive, sequential and a resiliently upwardly and downwardly motions.  
     
     
         10  A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said two sets of stationary clips are hard plastic.
