To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, OTTO H. 'MnYERs, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, (borough of Manhattan), inthe county of New York and State of New York,-have inventeda new and Improved FoldingConvertible Qrocart, High Chair, and Baby-Jumper, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descrlption.v v
This invention relates to improvements in combination devices, an obj ectof the invention being to provide an apparatus or mech-' anism which can by different positioning of parts perform the functions of a baby coach,
a high chair and a baby jumper.
improved deviceas agocart.
A further object is to provide'a device of thecharacter stated which can be easily and 'quickly manipulated to change the position of the arrangementof parts and which will efficiently perform the. functions for whloh it isintended. r Q
With these and other. objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and combinations and ar rangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompany ng draw1ngs- Figure 1 is a top plan view illustrating my Fig. 2 isa view in longitudinal section on the line 2..2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view in section on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
'Fig. 1 is a viewin vertical longitudinal section on the line 4l4 of Fig. 5, illustrating my improved device with the parts in position to form a high chair.
Fig. 5,is a View in front elevation of the device as shown in Fig. 4:.
Fig. -6 is a detail perspective view of the removable bar 53.
'Fig. 7 is a top planview illustrating my improved device with the parts in position to form a baby jumper. v
Fig. 8 is a view in side elevation, partly in section, of Fig. 7.
Fig. 9 is a bottom plan view showingthe wheels and their supports in folded position.
Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 9 showing the wheels at right angles to the base and in operative position.
1 represents aplatform having on its under face a depending angular flange formmg a fram 2. In the ends of this frame 2 and at the sides of the frame longitudinally pos tioned bars 3 are pivotally mounted and l mited in their pivotal movement .by the sldemembers oftheframe. On these bars 3 forks 4L are-secured and are supported by wheels 5, the latter connected to theforks by journal bolts 6 and the pairs of forks on each bar are connected by longitudinal brace rods 7 s i The forks are maintained in vertical positionby means of transverse rods 8 which are pivotally connected to the forks at one side of the platform, as indicated at 9, and are made with books 10 at their other ends to engage eyes 11011 the forks at the other side of the platform.
A lever 12 is pivotally connected between its endsto the bottom of the platform 1 and is adapted when the wheels are inoperative position to be located transversely of the platform with the'ends of the lever bearing against the intermediate portions of the bars 3 so that this lever and the rods;8 serve to maintain the forks 4 in upright position. A slidingbolt 13 is provided onone end of the lever 12 and is adapted to engage an eye 14 on one of the bars 3 to secure the lever ingthisposition. When the wheels are not desired for use, the rods 8 are disengaged from the eyes 11 at one side of the platform and are positioned longitudinally of the platform to allow, the bars 3 ,with their forks 4: to be folded inwardly against the bottom of the platform, as shown in Fig. 9, and when in this position, the lever 12 is swung to a diagonal position to engage over the wheels at opposite corners of the platform and secure the parts in this folded position.
An upwardly projecting board 15 is hingedly connected to the platfofm l at its rear end, as shown at 15, and side boards 16 are provided above strips 17,the latter fixed to the platform and connected by hinges 18 with the side boards 16.
When the device is-in use as a gocart, th side boards 16 are in upright position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and are made with inwardly projecting blocks 19 to support a seat 20. The seat 20 is made with a back 21 and-sides 22 and is secured to a sliding T- shaped frame 23, the latter mounted on a longitudinally slotted arm 24, and a sliding strap 25 is fixed to the frame 23 and moves freely on the arm 24, but is adapted to be locked at any position of adjustment by means of headed set screws 26. V
The arm 24 is fixed to a crossbar 27 and the latter is pivotally mounted at its ends in brackets 28 fixed to platform 1. This bar 27 providescmounting for an ornamental de vice 29 which, in the present instance, is shown as a horses head. A slot 30 is provided in the bar 27 and a pivot pin 31 projects through the device 29 and is mounted in the bar to provide pivotal movement for said device. A hammer 32 is provided on the lower end of the device 29 to engage a bell 33 on the platform 1, and reins 34 are connected to the device 29 andare adapted to be manipulated by the child to sound the hell. i
A tray 35 is supported on the sides 22 so that the child cannot fall elf of the seat 20. A coiled spring 36connects a forwardly projecting tongue 37 on the bar 27 with the platform 1. The back board 15 is made with an inwardly projecting block 38 to receive and support the seat as shown in Fig. 2.
Handle bars 39 are pivotally connected to the platform 1, as shown at 40, and are provided at their free ends with a handle bar 41 and at a point between their ends with a connecting bar 42 which has pivotal or rotary mounting in the handle bars. Pins 16 (Fig. 5) limit the upward forward piv otal movement of the handle bars 39.
A. longitudinal bar 43 is secured to the connecting bar 42 and a chain 44 is fixed to the back board 15 and extends around under the crossbar 27 and is fixed to the longitudinal bar 43 holding the free end of said bar 43 against the handle bar 41 and supporting the handles at the proper inclination when the device is in use as a gocart as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Downwardly projecting pins 45 are provided on theseat 20 at the side edges thereof and project through perforated blocks 46 on the sides 16 (Fig. 3) to Strengthen the structure and prevent lateral movement of the sides. An opening 47 is provided in the seat 20 for the accommodation of a pin 48 connected to a chain 49, the latter fixed to the seat back 21, but when in use as a gocart, this pin performs no function.
When the device is in use as a high chair, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the wheels are folded under the platform 1 as above explained, so that the platform operates as a base for the high chair. The handle bars 39 are swung to a vertical position and the pin 48 above referred to is positioned through registering openings 50 and 51 in the seat 20 and handle 41 respectively to lock the handle bars in this vertical position. When the seat is moved to an elevation to permit the handle bars to assume a vertical posihen the device is used as a high chair, the
side16 and back 15 are folded inwardly out 5 of the way.
When the device is used as a baby umper, as shownin Figs. 7 and 8, the handle bars 39 are swung downwardly to a horizontal position and locked in this position by turn buttons 56 on the rear end of the, platform 1, and these turn buttons also operate to hold the arms at the proper incline as shown in Fig. 2. In this use of the device the sides 16 and back 15 are also folded inwardly, but the slotted arm 24 is located in a horizontal positionand supportsthe seat 20 at the rear end'thereof, the spring 36 at the forward end of the tongue 37 providing elastic support for the seat and allowing the child to move the seat upwardly and downwardly against the action of the spring,
it being understood that the seat is free from any other support other than the arm 24 and its elastic pivotal mounting.
Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from the invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims' I claim:
