ABSTRACT:
A rocking chair having a seat and a base member, the seat including a seat member for directly supporting a person and a frame having first and second frame members, each of which frame members have a rocker portion disposed beneath the seat member and a vertical portion interconnecting the rocker portion and the seat member, the rocker portion of each frame member being curved for a substantial portion of its length and supported for rocking movement within the base member, a rear most portion of each rocker portion being angled upwardly, the frame members being constructed of a resilient material so that rocking motion of the seat causes a dampened spring motion of the seat during rocking of the chair. The chair further includes a motor to propel the chair in a rocking motion, the motor being attached to the base member so that the motor remains in a stationary position when the seat is in a rocking motion, and a mechanism connected to the motor for engaging the seat during at least a portion of its rocking motion so as to permit the seat to float free during a portion of its rocking motion.
