The present invention is directed to improvements in storm aprons for go-carts for children, and has for its object to so construct an article of this character that it can be readily engaged with a go-cart and will protect the child in inclement weather.

A further object of the invention is to provide an article of this character which can be made from a single blank of material, the blank being so formed that the sections thereof can be conveniently sewed to provide av suflicient covering for the feet of a child. as well as the body.

Vith these and other objects in view, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front view of a go-cart, equipped with the device.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the apron.

in a back 6, said back and front 4 having their side edges sewed or otherwise suitably secured to the adjacent edges of the sides 3, thus providing a compartment 7 for the child s feet.

The back 6 terminates at its upper edge in an integral flap 8, which is adapted to be placed on the seat 9 of the go-cart, said flap having its rear corners provided with hooks 10. The hooks 10 serve to attach the flap 8 to the frame of the go-cart, thereby preventing the device from slipping.

The device is preferably made from waterproof material and may be of any color which may suit the fancy of the purchaser.

In use the device is placed with the bottom 1 thereof engaged upon the foot board of the go-cart, and the flap 8 engaged with the seat of the cart, whereby when a child is in the go-cart, his feet will rest in the compartment 7 and the body cover can be tucked around the child so as to exclude dampness.

At the juncture of the front 4 and cover 5 are attached snap hooks 11, similar hooks 12 being connected to the rear edge of said cover, said hooks being adapted to engage adjacent parts of the cart to hold the device in place.
