Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec, 31, 1918 Application filed November 14, 1913. Serial No. 800,985.
' To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT C. LAFFERTY, a citizen of the United States and a resident of New York, borough of Manhattan, county and State of New York, have made a new and useful Invention in Combined Cribs, Cradles, and Carriages, of which the following is a specifications In a prior application filed by me 1n the U. S.. Patent Ofiice on the letth day of August, 1913, bearing Serial No. 7 84,699, I have disclosed a portable incloslng cage or chamber combined with a removable tray, which is designed to be constructed so that it is capable of securely guarding or protecting the occupant in the outside open am and without the presence or care of the mother or other attendant; or it may be suspended from the outside of a building in the pure air by-devices therein disclosed which will not permit of its being disturbed by conditions of the weather, and may admit of being used anywhere as upon the roof of a building, in a park, upon a lawn, or like places, and the occupant kept in absolute security. The present invention is an improvement thereon and has for its objects First, to devise means whereby the tray holding the occupant may be easily and safely removed from the crib by simply sliding it endwise therefrom, the prior invention requiring that the removable inclosed tray should be lifted or moved as a whole from the crib when hung from a window or other support. a
Second, to devise means which supports the tray within the crib by which the mother or attendant may draw the tray and occupant toward them to feed the latter or tuck it in, and move it without unnecessary exertion and leave the crib in place.
Third, to devise novel means for securely sustaining the crib and tray between the jambs or casings of any window or opening within usual limits.
Fourth, to devise a tray used in combination with the before mentioned crib which may be also utilized when taken out of the crib, or may be utilized with the running gear for conveying it from one point to another.
My invention will be fully understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows a plan view of my novel invention as suspended from the window of a building, the walls of the building and facings of the window of which are shown in sectional view, the dotted lines showing the tray both in its outside position and when almost withdrawn.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of my invention shown in full lines in suspended position in a window of a building, which latter is also shown in sectional view, the tray and sliding means of support being shown in dotted lines in almost withdrawn but supported position. i
Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of my novel form of holding tray showing means for supporting it in the suspended crib, and the means for propelling it by hand in collapsible position.
Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view of a simple tray with rocker form, and means for slidably securing it in the crib all in an extended position, for use in the crib.
Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of my novel crib showing it with the running gear and-with the means for propelling it in ex-' tended oropen position. i
Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view of the tray showing the running gear swung into position and showing the tray partly collapsed or contracted for use when propelled from place to place.
Fig. 7 is a side elevational view of the adjustable means for firmly securing and lock ing the crib between the facings or j ambs of a window of a building.
Fig. 7 a is an enlarged side elevational view of the key for both adjusting and locking the holding means.
Fig. 8 is an enlarged sectional view of the said adjustable locking or holding means.
'Fig. 9 is an enlarged sectional view ofa portion of the crib and tray showing the slideways. Fig. 10 isan enlarged section of a portion of the tray showing the means for adjusting the width of same.
Referring now to the drawings in which like numerals represent like parts, 1 repre sents the crib proper which is made of relatively strong and light suitable material which can be readily handled by the user. This crib is constructed of rectangular form, as shown, having side, bottom and end timbers framed together and of such strength as will make it available for use in the manner hereinafter described. It is cov- 'ered with" mosquito netting or light wire netting on the top, bottom, sides and ends, so ast'o'ma'ke itiprot'e'ctive for a child' against. the discomforts of insects,-a'nd; whenn'ec'es sary, the top thereof may be covered with material which will protect the child from the, rain. 3 represents the top of said crib, preferably made of wea-ther proof material and firmly secured thereto. 2 is the: sill: of the window and W W are the windows. 4:

before the tray is puti into the: crib, or; While" it is partially in the crib, or at any: other time-.- After the tray: is entirely within the crib the door 165011 the house-sideof-tlieacrib may be closed. The child may be left-en'- tirely alone in the: open; air, and the hood of the tray may be raised or lowered dependent upon bright sunshine and general atmospheric conditions which change from time to time. When desired the tray may be brought in and placed on the floor, as illustrated in Fig. l where it is shown in use as a cradle. When desired the running gear 20 and 21 is lowered, the tray made narrower, and used as a carriage either in the house or on the street.
I do not limit my invention to any of the specific details disclosed in the accompanying drawings, as I believe it is new with me to provide an exterior crib or casing with a detachable tray adapted to alford the desired oints of utility hereinbefore referred to, and my claims are, therefore, of the most generic scope. Y
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A portable inclos'ing crib or chamber and a removable tray therefor, means secured to said tray for supporting it when withdrawn from said crib and means cooperating with said tray to support it for sliding within said crib and preventing said first-named supportin means from interfering with the insertlon of said tray into and its withdrawal from said crib. 3
2. In a device of the class described, the combination of an inclosing crib and a, carriage having collapsible supports, said crib having runways and said carriage having slideways adapted to cooperate therewith t0 3 support said carriage for sliding within said crib when said supports are collapsed.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
