Specification or Letters Patent. P t t t, 22, 91
Application filed February 27, 1913. Serial-No. 751,027.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known thatI, ARTHUR J. ADAMS, a citizen of the United States, residin at Chicago, in the county of Cook and tate of Illinois, have invented new and useful improvements in Perambulators, of which reference to the body of the structure and the wheel-housings, so that the wheels will be in a proper position to enable the perambulator to pass over a curb without striking the body or wheel-guards against the" curb.
Further objects will appear from the detailed description hereinafter given.
The invention is illustrated in the preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawings 111 which,
Figure 1 represents a broken side elevational vview of a perambulator constructed in accordance with my invention, showing the structure in condition for wheeling; Fig. 2, a similar view, showing the structure in collapsed condition, enabling it to be used as a. suspensory or carrier; Fig. 3, a broken rear elevational view of the improved structure; Fig. 4, a broken sectional view taken as indicated at line 4 of Fig. ,3; Fig. 5, a broken view, partly in section, taken as indicated at line 5 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 6, a broken sectional view taken as indicated at line 6 of Fig. 1'.
of wheels adapted to occupy the operative position shown in Fig. 1, or the sheathed position shown in Fig. .2; and C, a handle propelling the vehicle.
adapted to serve in shifting the wheels to.
the operative position and as a means for The'body A- maybe of anysuitable construction'. l-he lower end of the body is formed'to provide a seat 1 and a foot-board the perambulator-body are provided.
wheel-housings or guards 3. The rear posts 4 of the body are extended below'the plane of the seat and toe plane'fiush with the bot tom of the foot-support and wheel-housings; and the body is adapted to rest stably upon the floor, as shown in Fig.
The wheels B are journaled on the ends of a shaft 5 which extends through angular arms or forks 6, whose rear-ends are joined,
by pivots 7, to clips or plates 8 secured to the rear corner-posts 4 of the body. The forks 6 are provided with slots 9 through which the axle 5 extends; and the lower ends of the arms 6 extend some distance below the axle and are connected by coil-springs 10 to the axle. The elbow portions of the arms 6 are connected, by links 12, to arms 2. 1*lanki1'1gthe seat and foot-board are 13 which are joined by pivots 14 to clips 15 with which the front posts or arms 16 of The arms-'13 have rigidly attached to them, a short distance in the rear of the pivots 14, handle-guides or sockets 17 in which the side members -18of the handle C are slid able. f'lhe clips 15 have their lower endsequipped with rearwardlyextending arms 18) provided with outturned stops or handlerez-rts 20, which serve to support the handle in the position shown in Fig. 1.
The rear ends of the arms 13 are movable in guides 21 with which the rear uprights 4 of the body A are equipped' In the collapsed condition of the structure, the handle G assumes approximately a-vertical position and is forced downwardly in the guides 17 to the position shown in Fig. 2, in which position the cross-member 22 of the handle engages the auxiliary loop or handle A in "front of its highest point, so that the handle C will be held against tilting rearwa'rdly by the handle A when the per-ambulator-is lifted through the medium of a handle A. \Vhen desired, the handle C may be lifted to the extended position and then swung rearwardly to the position shown in Fig.1, thus bringingthe lower ends of the members 18 of the handle to a position above the stops 20., in which position the rear ends of the: arms 13 are lockingly engaged by catches 23 on the lower ends of leaf-springs 24 which are secured to of which is attached a vertical cord 27'which passes upwardly and through an eye or loop 28 with which the back of the body 'is provided at or near its upper end. The cord 27 terminates in a loop 29, which may be grasped to enable the cord 27 to be drawn upwardly and thereby, through the medium which can be done without the necessity of removing the childfrom the perambulator.
From Fig.----l, it will be understood that when the wheels are in operative position, their rear portions will be disposed some-- what in the rear of the body of the structure, so that the perambulator can be wheeled up. and down steps and over curbings with facilitv. Again, it. will be understood that the body of the. structure is spring-supported on the axle, thus lessening the danger of the child being injured by jarring actions in the operation ofthe vehicle. 1
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding 1 only, and no undue limitation should be 1111- derstood therefrom, but the appended claims should be construed as broadly as permissible, in view of theprior art.
