Abstract For an infant seat of the type embodying an elongated inclined floor on which the infant is reclined, and embodying side walls and an end wall at the lower end of the floor with a framework beneath the floor holding the floor inclined upwardly away from the end wall, a rocker is provided. The rocker has an elongated main platform. A motor is mounted on the platform and has a shaft extending transversely over the platform. A hollow cover having side walls and end walls and a top encloses the motor and overlies the platform. Pivot means on the platform within the cover mounts the cover for rocking movement over the platform. Lifting arm means beneath the cover near the other end thereof is carried by bell crank means fixed on the shaft. The cover has an exterior seat support on its end most remote from the cover pivot means which support is operable to engage and lift the framework and thereby rock the seat upward as the cover is raised by the lifting arm means.
A rocker for a separate conventional infant seat, said infant seat having an elongated floor with side walls and an end wall upstanding from the floor to support the infant and having a framework beneath the floor operable to support the infant seat with the seat floor inclined upwardly away from a horizontal plane; said rocker comprising an elongated main platform; a motor mounted on the main platform having a shaft extending transversely of and above the platform; a hollow cover over the motor having a top wall, side walls and end walls forming together an enclosure over the platform and surrounding the motor; pivot means within the enclosure adjacent to one end wall pivotally mounting the cover on the platform; lifting means beneath the cover operable to lift the cover up and down about said pivot means; and means operably connecting the lifting means to the motor shaft; and an infant seat supported on the end of the cover most remote from the pivot means operable to receive and support the framework to transmit the pivotal up and down movement of the cover to the infant seat to rock an infant residing in the infant seat, said infant seat support comprises an upwardly opening transverse hook for openly receiving and supporting the infant seat framework therein.
