Application filed November 23, 1914. Serial No. 873,537.
have invented new and useful Imprm ements in Childrens Carriages, of which the fol:v
lowing is a specification.
The present invention is directed to improvements in childrens carriages, and has for its object to so construct a device of this character that a child therein will be prevented from leaving the carriage unassisted.
Another object is to provide a supporting member for the top of the carriage so constructed as to serve to support the top in its open position or to hold the same in closed position.
A further object of the invention is to provide a carriage with a top capable of being yieldably held in its closed position, or the same can be positively locked in its closed position.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a carriage having its body and top formed with screened openings so as to provide proper ventilation, and at the same time prevent insects and dust entering the body.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a carriage of this class so constructed that a child occupying the same in a sitting position can readily see over the sides of the body.
It is a well known fact that children are ften exposed to infections by well meaning persons, who handle or caress them when in open carriages, and to eliminate this objection the present invention has been perfected.
With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in thenovel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a top plan View. Fig. 3 is a front elevation. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal view. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view of the supporting member case.
Referring to the drawing the numeral 1 designates the body of the carriage, which is preferably formed from light sheet metal, said body being yieldably supported on the running gear 2, which may be of any well The body 1 is preferably rectangular in shape, and comprises sides 8, ends and a bottom 5, said sides and ends being provided with openings 6 and 7, respectively, said openings being closed by wire screen 7 of suitable mesh. It will be observed that the openings in the sides register with each other, and likewise the openings in the ends, thus assuring a complete ventilation.
The top 8 has depending end and side flanges 9 and 10, respectively, which engage the upper edges of the body so as to prevent lateral and endwise movement of said top. but at the same time allowing the same to be readily lifted when it is desired to place the child in the carriage. The top 8 is provided with an elongated opening 11, which is formed therein by cutting or stamping the material, preferably light sheet metal, form ing the top, but leaving sufficient material to form vertical flanges 12 at each end of the opening 11, said flanges having their upper edges 13 curved.
To the curved edges 13 of the flanges 12 is secured the ends of the screen 14, the side edges of which being secured to the top 8 adjacent the opening 11. Thus it will be seen that by providing the flanges 12 and securing thereto the screen 14, a screened chamber 15 is produced, so as to accommo date the head or head and shoulders of a child occupying the carriage in a sitting position, and as said chamber is located above the upper surface of the top, the childs vision is unobstructed. The opening 11 also aids in ventilating the carriage.
Mounted on the chamber 15 and at the ends thereof are clamping brackets 16, which are engaged by the horizontal arm 17 of the supporting member 18, said arm extending over the screen 14 and flanges 12. The vertical arm 19 of the supporting member 18 is pivotally engaged in the bearing 20, which is fixed to the forward end of the body. Also fixed to the forward end is a casing 21 having its top 22 provided with an aperture 23 in which the lower end of the arm 19 slides. The extreme lower end of the arm 19 is formed with an annular shoulder 24, the same serving to engage the lower end of the coil spring 25, which is located in the casing 21 and surrounds the arm 19, said spring having its upper end engaged with the top 22 of the casing. The
known construction.
lower end of the casing 21 is closed by a screw'plug 26, and upon which rests the shouldered end of the arm 19.
Toremove the top 8 it is only necessary to lift the same, this being readily permitted as the arm 19 is pivotally supported by the bearing 20 and casing 21, said top being held in its open position by the supporting member 18, and out of the way, so that a child may be placed in or removed from the I carriage.
. unattended.
In case of rain it is obvious that a waterproof sheet may be thrown across the top 8 so as to close the opening 11 therein.
From the foregoing description it is apparent that a child can be placed comfortably in the carriage, and is protected from falls, insects, and contamination, and further it is obvious that a person may leave a child unattended, in a carriage constructed as described, with perfect safety.
lvliat is claimed is 1. A device of the class described, comprising a body, a top for the body, a supporting member consisting of a horizontal arm and a vertical arm, the horizontal arm being fixed to the top and the vertical arm being slidably and yieldably connected to the body.
A device of the class described, comprising a body, said body having screened openings formed therein, a top for the body, said top having an opening formed therein, vertical flanges located at the ends of the opening in the top, a screen connected to the free edges of the flanges and to the top to provide a chamber above the top, and means for locking the top to the body.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
