ABSTRACT:
A cradle comprises a support frame and a base. The support frame is intended to hold an infant and is provided at one end thereof with a retaining hook. The base is provided with a plurality of castors fastened pivotally therewith and is further provided with an actuating, box comprising an elastic cord which is provided at the top thereof with a plurality of engaging rings engageable with the retaining hook of the support frame. The actuating box is provided therein with a motor, a disk with a cam fastened therewith, and a swing arm provided with an eccentric wheel having a groove engageable with the bottom end of the elastic cord. The swing arm is further provided with a rotor engageable with the cam. The eccentric wheel is actuated by the cam which is in turn actuated by the motor. The elastic cord is pulled downwards by the eccentric wheel in motion so as to cause the cradle to swing downwards. The flexible mechanism located at the front end of the cradle is capable of causing the cradle to swing upwards when the elastic cord is relieved of the downward pulling force.
