Patent 10016068 was granted and assigned to Mattel, Inc. on July, 2018 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An improved infant support structure is disclosed herein. The swing contains a frame, a motor compartment, a hanger arm, and a seat. The frame is configured to suspend the motor compartment, the hanger arm, and the seat above the support surface. The hanger arm extends downwardly from the motor compartment, and is capable of a first type of motion and a second type of motion. The first type of motion may cause the hanger arm and seat to rotate about a vertical axis. The second type of motion may cause the hanger arm and seat to sway or swing along a substantially circular curvilinear arc within a horizontal plane. The motor compartment may cause the hanger arm and seat to simultaneously perform the first and second types of motion.
