Application led March 12, 1912. Serial No. 683,362.

To all whom 'Ltmay concern:

v Be it known that I, ELENORA NEUMANN, a subject of the King of Hungary, and resident of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York. have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvements in Nursing-Bottle Holders for Baby- Carriages, of which the following isa specificat-ion.

The present invention relatesto a nursing bottle-holder, and more particularly to one which is specially useful in connect-ion with baby-carriages or go-carts.

One of the objects of the invention is to providea device of this character which is simple in construction, efficient in operation and which can be manufactured on a commercial scale, or in other words which is not so diiicult to produce as to be beyond the reasonable cost of such an article.

Another object of the invention is to provide a holder for nursing bottles which can be readily adjusted as to its width, height and position.

With these and other objects in view, which will more fully appear as the nature of the invent-ion is bet-ter understood, the same consists in the combination, arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter fully described, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that many changes may be made in the size and proportion of the several parts and minor details of construction wit-hin the scope of the appended claims without depart-ing from the' spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

One of the many possible embodiments of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figurel is a vertical longitudinal section taken through a baby-carriage with the nurs; ing bottle-holder in position thereon; Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken through the carriage showing a front elevation of the attachment; Fig. 3 is a side elevation of one of the'bottle holding jaws; Fig. 4 is a vfront elevation of the means shown in Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a plan view thereof; and Fig. 6 is a section taken on line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

In the drawings, the numeral 10 indicates ababy carriage of any suitable construction. The attachment comprises a frame 11 substantially in the form of an inverted U,

which is held upon the sides of the body of the carriage by

clamps

12, 12. "More particularly the stationary jaws 13 of the clamps are made in tliefo-rm of strips, which are held by means of

movable jaws

14, 14 upon the inner faces of the sides of the carriage body, and to the stationary jaws are attached some dist-ancev above the upper edge ofthe carriage body upwardly extending

vertical bars

15, 15, preferably by means of

screw bolts

16, 16 in mesh with wing nuts 17, 17. The upper ends ofthe bars 15 are connected by a cross member 18. which consists, preferably, of

twotelescoping sections

19 and 20, the section 19 beingy attached to one of the bars 15, and the section 20 to th`eother one.

j The width of theframe 11 can thus be'easily changed to fit carriages of varying sizes. Fromthe'section 19 of the cross member depends a supporting bar 21, the upper end of which yis provided with an eye 22, fitting the sect-ion 19 of the cross member and held in place thereon by means of a thumb screw 28. The lower end of the Ysupporting bar 21 is provided with a longitudinal slot 24, which is engaged by a screw bolt 25, the latter engaging also a depending arm 26. The threads of the screw bolt25 mesh with a wing nut 27, bearing against the arm 26. By reason of the slot 24 the relative positions of the supporting bar 21 and the arm 26 may be changed, and so also the angle of inclination of the arm 26 to the bar 21. To the lower end of the arm 26 is secured by means of a screw bolt 28 a bottle holding jaw 29, the inner concave face of which is provided with a liningy 30, prefer ably of felt. A second bottle holding jaw 30 is shiftably arranged upon the bolt 28. This jaw is also provided with a felt lining and will, in coperation with the jaw 29,

clasp the nursing bottle 31 when the wing nut 32 is screwed up properly upon the bolt 28.

In use, the clamps 12 are fastened to the sides of the baby-carriage, whereby the

telescoping sections

19 and 20 of the cross member 18 will automatically adjustthemselves to the width o'f the carriage. The support ing bar 21 is then shifted upon the section 19 of thecross member to the desired place, the arm 26 raised or lowered and placed at the desired angle to the supporting bar 21,- and the wing nut 27 meshing with the bolt 25 tightly screwed up to hold the arm 26 in its proper position. The bottle 3l is then inserted between the

jaws

29 and 30 and secured in place.

If not needed, the frame 11 and the bottle support may be tilted forward around the bo ts 1.6 into the body of the carriage.

What I claim is 1. In a nursing bottle-holder, the combination with two clamps adapted to be attached to the sides of a baby carriage, of a frame comprising two upwardly extending bars pivotally fastened to said two jaws and connected at their upper ends by a cross .member, a sup orting bar depending from said cross mem r, said supporting r being shiftably arranged upon said cross member and provided 'at its lower end with a longitudinal slot, an arm provided upon its upper end with an aperture, a screw thread- 20 e forward into the body ofthe carriage around the pivots which connect it with sald clam s.

2. In a nursing bottle-holder, the com ination with two clamps adapted to be attached to the sides of a baby carriage, of a frame comprising two upwardly extending bars pivotally fastened to said two jaws and connected at their upper ends by a cross member, a supporting bar depending from said cross member, said supporting bar being shiftably arranged upon said cross member, an arm, means for adjustably connecting said arm with said supporting bar both as to angular position and height,and bottle-holding jawscarried by said arm, said frame and the-parts carried thereby being adapted to be tilted forward into the body of theca'rriage around the pivots which connect itwith said clamps.
