Baby Rocker Glider

Abstract

A system and apparatus for gliding rocking chairs comprises an adult rocking chair, a gliding base, a bassinet, and a latching mechanism, where the chair is attached to the base and a bassinet is placed on eth base to transfer the rocking motion of said chair to the bassinet. A system and method is disclosed in which a bassinet is attached to the stool and the stool is further attached to the rocker. The rocking motion allows the bassinet to be rocked in a hands free manner by the person sitting in the chair. Because the bassinet is placed on the footstool, both the bassinet and rocking chair thereafter move as one unit. The rocker has complete control of the bassinet; by simply slowing or speeding up their own rocking, the person in the rocker can control the rocking of the bassinet, hands free. Furthermore, the chair should have attachment points on both sides, so that the stool can be attached to either side of the chair, depending on the user's needs, allowing a different stool to be attached to each side if a parent has twins.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A system for gliding rocking chairs, comprised of:
 an adult rocking chair;   at least one gliding base;   a bassinet;   a latching mechanism,   wherein said rocking chair is attached to said gliding base; wherein said bassinet is placed on said base to transfer the rocking motion of said chair to said bassinet.   
     
     
         2 . A system for gliding rocking chairs as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said gliding base holds the bassinet. 
     
     
         3 . A system for gliding rocking chairs as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said bassinet rocks with the rocking motion of the rocking chair. 
     
     
         4 . A system for gliding rocking chairs as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said latching mechanism is attached to the underside of said stool and said chair. 
     
     
         5 . A method of attachment for gliding rocking chairs comprising a latching mechanism between the top of the stool and seat of the rocker chair wherein said stool and seat are at same distance from the floor. 
     
     
         6 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said stool is used for placing bassinet to be rocked. 
     
     
         7 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said latching mechanism is attached to the underside of said stool and said chair. 
     
     
         8 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said stool is set directly beside said rocker with no gap between the two secured in place. 
     
     
         9 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said bassinet has a slightly recessed bottom to allow sides of the bassinet to hang over the edges of the stool, creating an attachment point between the edges of the bassinet and the stool similar to those between the stool and chair. 
     
     
         10 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said stool can be detached from said chair when the child is grown and the bassinet is no longer needed. 
     
     
         11 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said latching mechanism is latches. 
     
     
         12 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said latching mechanism is clips. 
     
     
         13 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said latching mechanism is clamps or buckles. 
     
     
         14 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said method rocks the bassinet along with said chair in a hands free way. 
     
     
         15 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said method allows full control of the bassinet with the said chair. 
     
     
         16 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said attachment points on both sides, so that the stool can be attached to either side of the chair, allowing a different stool to be attached to each side if a parent has twins. 
     
     
         17 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said chair glide forward and backwards, (along a horizontal plane). 
     
     
         18 . A method of attachment as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said chair is safer for attaching a bassinet decreasing the likelihood of over rocking the chair and causing the unit to tip over or the baby to roll in the bassinet.
