Abstract:
1. A bouncer control device for controlling the motion of a children's bouncer, the bouncer control device comprising: a housing configured to be secured to the children's bouncer; a mobile member operatively connected to the housing and configured to pivot relative to the housing and independently from the children's bouncer; a first magnetic component operatively connected to the housing; a second magnetic component operatively connected to the mobile member such that the second magnetic component moves toward and away from the first magnetic component as the mobile member pivots, wherein at least one of the first magnetic component and second magnetic component comprises an electromagnet configured to create a magnetic force with the other of the first and second magnetic components when supplied with electric current; a power supply configured to transmit electric current to the electromagnet; and a bouncer control circuit configured to generate a control signal that causes the power supply to supply electric current to the electromagnet and thereby generate a magnetic force causing the mobile member to oscillate within the housing.
