Abstract:
1. An infant sleep-inducing apparatus comprising: a base adapted to sit on a supporting surface; a sound-producing device for playing a soundtrack to produce a sound pattern; a top member which is movably mounted on the base and adapted to support an infant-supporting structure; a motor for moving the top member relative to the base in a manner which is synchronized with the sound pattern; and first and second threaded members one of which is operatively connected to the top member and the other of which is rotatably driven by the motor; and wherein one of the first and second threaded members defines an internally threaded hole; and the other of the first and second threaded members defines an externally threaded screw which threadably engages the internally threaded hole to form a threaded engagement between the first and second threaded members by which the top member moves in response to rotation of the motor-driven threaded member.
