Ibyerekeye Rockit Primary Function: Igikoresho cyo Kunyeganyeza Ubwato bw'Abana

Book Text: Rockit ni igikoresho gito cyo kunyeganyeza gishyirwa ku bwato bw'abana cyangwa ku gatebo k'umwana kikanyeganyeza buhoro kugira ngo abana basinzire neza. Rockit ikoresha uburyo bwo gufatanya kabiri. Habaho urukiramende rushyirwa hejuru ku murongo w'agatebo k'umwana, hanyuma igikoresho kikinjizwamo mu rukiramende igihe bikenewe. Igikoresho gishobora kwimurirwa ku kandi gatebo cyangwa kikabikwa igihe kitakoreshwa. Buto yo gukanda ni yo icana Rockit, naho akadari k'umuvuduko gahuza umutingito n'umuvuduko kamere w'umurongo, bigatanga uburyo bwo kunyeganyeza buhoro ku muvuduko muto. Ibizamini bigaragaza ko uku gunyeganyeza gusa n'ukunyeganyeza n'ukuboko. Ibice byinshi bikorwa mu buryo bwa injection moulding hakoreshejwe ABS hamwe n'ibipfundikizo bya TPR.

Ibintu Bidasanzwe: Rockit attaches to any pram or stroller and gently rocks to soothe babies to sleep. There is nothing quite like Rockit on the market, with other solutions being large mains operated platforms that you wheel the stroller onto. Rockit is attached to the stroller using a 2-fix system meaning it can easily be switched to another stroller or safely stored when not in use. The speed control allows you to tune the Rockit to the resonant frequency of any pram or stroller to achieve the perfect rock that makes the baby believe they are still being pushed along.
Ibipimo n'Ipaki: 85mm x 95mm x 155mm
Ibibazo Fatizo: stroller rocker, baby sleep-aid, pram rocker, baby sleep aid, portable baby rocker, pushchair rocker
Ikoranabuhanga ryo Guteza Imbere: With the design making use of a spinning eccentric weight, early development work focused on testing the optimum mass and distance from the motor spindle. This was combined with testing the RPM of the motor to achieve a gently low frequency rock when fitted to a variety of stroller weights and sizes. Developing a system to start the heavy weight spinning even when mounted horizontally was also important. Regarding production, the majority of parts are injection moulded in ABS with some having TPR over-moulds.
Ikibazo cy'Ishusho: The main creative challenge was getting the branding and styling of the product right. The design team wanted the product to stand out in the nursery sector as many nursery products are very ‘twee’ or can look quite medical in appearance. It was important that the product looked nurturing and not too toy-like. Because the product would be on display when in use we wanted it to attract attention and act as a advertisement, hence the strong Rockit branding.
Ubushakashatsi: Quantitative research to measure levels of vibration acting on a stroller when rocked by Rockit, by hand and by wheeling over paving stones. Objective was to ensure acceleration measurements were comparable and within expected limits. Measurements were undertaken using 2 different accelerometers fixed to the stroller in a variety of positions. It was found that moving the stroller over paving stones, resulted in significantly higher levels of acceleration than those generated by Rockit and that rocking the stroller by hand was approximately comparable in each of the measurements.
Ibyatumye Habaho: Dr. Nick Webb invented Rockit when his three month old daughter refused to sleep in her stroller unless she was being pushed along. He noticed this problem affected other parents and using his knowledge of vibration and acoustics constructed a simple prototype. He tested it the next day and Abby remained asleep even when the stroller came to a halt. Nick set about developing and refining it with his co-founder Matt Dyson. Over the next year they turned the prototype into a marketable product.
Igihe cy'Umushinga: The project was started in Bristol, UK in late 2015. The initial concept won a Design Council Spark Award in London during September 2016. The first production samples were exhibited at the Kind und Jugend Nursery Show in the Cologne in September 2017. The Rockit was launched to market in November 2017.
Uburyo bw'Imikorere: Rockit is attached to the stroller using a 2-fix system. The bracket is attached high up on the stroller frame first and the Rockit can then be clipped into the bracket when needed. This also means it can be switched to another stroller or safely stored when not in use. The Rockit is turned on using a push switch and the speed is then adjusted using a speed dial. This adjustment allows the user to tune the vibrations to the resonant frequency of the stroller giving a gentle low frequency rock.
