Child Pacifying Elastic Chairs

Abstract

Child pacifying elastic chair in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, an elastic chair for supporting a user while soothing a child, the elastic chair comprising: a ball body having a spherical configuration, wherein the ball body allows the user to bounce vertically; a back rest connected to the ball body, wherein the back rest provides the user a support structure to lean against; at least one arm rest connected to the ball body, wherein the at least one arm rest provides the user a place to rest at one of user's arms; and a plurality of feet connected to the ball body, wherein the plurality of feet provide stabilization for the ball body such that horizontal motion of the ball body is restricted while the user bounces vertically atop the first surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An elastic chair for supporting a user while soothing a baby, the elastic chair comprising:
 a ball body having a spherical configuration comprising a first surface configured to interface with the user and a second surface, opposite the first surface, configured to interface with a floor, wherein the ball body allows the user to bounce vertically atop the first surface as the second surface makes contact with the floor;   a back rest connected to the ball body, wherein the back rest provides the user a support structure to lean against;   at least one arm rest connected to the ball body, wherein the at least one arm rest provides the user a place to rest at one of user's arms; and   a plurality of feet connected to the ball body, wherein the plurality of feet provide stabilization for the ball body such that horizontal motion of the ball body is restricted while the user bounces vertically atop the first surface.   
     
     
         2 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the back rest is made using a flexible material. 
     
     
         3 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of feet is made using a flexible material. 
     
     
         4 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of feet comprises five feet. 
     
     
         5 . The elastic chair of  claim 4 , wherein the each of the plurality of feet are in fixed spatial relationship to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one arm rest comprises a first arm rest and a second arm rest, wherein the first and second arm rests each has a cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         7 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the ball body is made using PVC plastic. 
     
     
         8 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the ball body, the back rest, the at least one arm rest, and the plurality of feet are a singular unit. 
     
     
         9 . The elastic chair of  claim 8 , wherein the singular unit is made of PVC plastic. 
     
     
         10 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of feet includes a plastic socket for receiving an attachment, wherein the attachment includes a support beam that fits into the socket. 
     
     
         11 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the elastic chair is inflated with air. 
     
     
         12 . The elastic chair of  claim 11 , wherein the elastic chair comprises at least one chamber inflated with air. 
     
     
         13 . The elastic chair of  claim 11 , wherein the elastic chair comprises a plurality of chambers inflated with air. 
     
     
         14 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one armrest extends perpendicular to the back rest. 
     
     
         15 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the ball body has a diameter of 37 inches. 
     
     
         16 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein each foot of the plurality of feet is spherical. 
     
     
         17 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein each foot of the plurality of feet is conical. 
     
     
         18 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein each foot of the plurality of feet is cylindrical. 
     
     
         19 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the back rest extends upwards from the first surface. 
     
     
         20 . The elastic chair of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of feet extend downwards from the second surface.
