IMPROVE!) ATOMATIC GRAIDIILIEI'.V
The Schedule referred to these Lettem'Patent andmalking part o! same,
specification.
The nature of" this invention relates to an improved arrangement of the clock-work for operating or .'vi-
lbi'ating an infants cladle, and consists in pivoting theclock at its upper end to the upright standard to which the head of the cradle is also pivoted so that when. the cradle iscareened by the movement of' .the child to one side, the operating mechanism will move with it, and retain its relative position, thereby insuring, under all conditions, a constant and uniform vibration ofthe cradle.
In the drawing, which shows my improvement in perspective- A represents the cradle suspended from bearings projecting inward from the upright standards B.
' O is a pendulum suspended ti'oln a pivotat the upper end of the head-standard; to this pendulum is secured the clock-workD, which operates or vibrates'l the cradle-body in a well-known manner.
E is a pair ot' stop-pins projecting toward the head F, projects, and plavs between said stops, thereby limiting the vibration of the cradle-body.
In the usual manner ot' constructing automatic cradles, should the lchild move away from the center of the cradle, it will at once stop, requiring the.at ten '.tion o't some person to replacethe child in its proper position, andset the cradle in motion again, whereas, in the present invention, when the cradle-body is moved away from its vnormal vertical position, the stud F striking one ot' the stop-pins E gives a corresponding lateral movement of the clock-work, whereby the vibration of the cradle is coutinuously'kept up. Thej entire operating mechanism is inside .ot the head standard.
I am well aware that cradles automatically vibrated are in common use, and expressly disclaim the-invenf tion of such, or of any particular form of mechanism applied for that purpose, or ot' any portion of the clockwork employed; but
' What Ido claim as my invention, and desire to sccure by Letters Patent, is'- The arrangement of the cradle A, pivoted upon the standard B, 'and provided with the stud F, and the" clock-work D, secured t-o the pivoted pendulum O, and
-provided with the stop-pins E, when the several parts are constructed as described and shown, and as and for the purpose set forth.
