PATENT GFFIGES.

Specification' forming partof LettersPatentN'o.155,551, dated September 29, 1874; application filed i September 17, 1874.
Be itknown thatI, GEORGE P. STEINBACH,? of Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore and State of' Maryland, ,have invented a 'certain' Improvement in Childrens carriages, of which; the following is a specification:
This invention' relates to that class of can opy-top7 or jagger-top childrens carriages in which the top is supported on a bow; and my improvement consists, first, in so connecting the top that it may be readily adjusted to any angle, relatively to the bow, to'shield the child when seated in thecarriage fronithe rays of the sun, the wind. or` the rain coming from i any direction, so that the use of curtains may be dispensed with; secondly,in combining the bow in such a manner .with fixed side rails on the carriage-body that the bow can be adj usted to, and firmly retained in, any desired position with reference to the body of the carriage; thirdly, in certain details of construction and combination, fully stated in theensuing description, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
1n the annexed-drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of the body of a childs carriage embodying my improvements in the manner of arranging ltliesupporting-bow andits canopy-top. Fig.`2 is a perspective view of the liinge-joint between the top and the bow. Fig. 3 illustrates a diderent form of' bow and suitably modified means for connecting the top thereto.
The saine letters of referenceare used in all the figures in the designation of identical parts.
I have shown my invention as applied to ar childs carriage, in which the seat is so coinbined with the back panel of the body and a foot-board that these parts may be arranged to afford support to a child either in a sitting or in a reclining position; but it may, of course, be applied to other styles of childrens carriages.
"The legs of the bow A are pivoted to low standards a a, fixed on the side panels of the body, about'in line with the front edge of the seat. Each side panel is s urmounted by'a fixed horizontal rail, B, which, starting from the back panel-that is, the iixed portions thereof-runs forward beyond the standard ai, and is then,by means of a downward return curve,
carried back and fastened to vsaid standard.
The legs ofthe bow A, located just'outside'of the railsB, are slotted, asiatc cf, and are connected, eitherlone `or both, by I neans of a clamping-screw, C, the shank of which passes -throughthe'slot c to aisleeve, 1)flattened on one y side to t on the tlatsurface of the bow,
an d tapped to receive the screw-thread ed shan k of the clamping-screw, and also fitted to slide freely on the rail B.
It will be readily seen that this mechanism admits of throwing the bow into any desired position, vertical, or inclined backward or forward, and that, by tightening up the clamping screw or screws after proper adjustment of the bow, the latter can be retained in such position.
The flat, or, at least, onlyslightly-arched,
lcanopy-top E, is centrally connected to the bow in the following manner: To lugs of a plate, e, fixed in the center on the under side of the top, isA pivoted the\T-headed bolt, f, the screw -threaded shank of which passes through a bearing-plate, F, into and through the slot A of the bow to receive the thumb-nut fl, which is used to clamp all` the parts mentioned firmly to the bow. The slot A extends the entire length of the cross-bar of the bow, and some little distance into each leg thereof, as shown.v The upper surface of bearing-plate F snugly fits the lugs on plate e,- wliile its under side is provided with projections f2 f2, fitting slot A in the bow.
Thus, the bearin g-platc, being unable to turn itself on the bow, will always hold the top in line with thebody, no matter to what position it may be adjusted. I
By slightly loosening the nut f1 the top may be shifted to one side or the other of the bow, and may also be turned at the same time on its hinge, ali'ording the greatest facility of arranging it to properly shield the child in the carriage, the range of adjustment being still further increased by the adjustable nature of the supporting-bow. i y
The top is suit( bly fringed, and may also carry side curtains, as shown.
A more s" inple mode than that just described of adjustably connecting the bow and top is shown in Fig. 3, where the cross-bar of the bow G is made solid and liutcd, and the top connected directly to it by a sleeve, H, xed to the top l should allow such extent of lateral adjustment andjenciroling the bow,I and the sleeve is rinly secured on the bow by a set-screw, I, at any point, the flutes preventing the slippingofthe set-screw.
Still other forms of connections may be def vised, and my invention is primarily not confined to any special one,tl1e only requisite being the perinissibility of the described .adjust` ments of the top. At the same time I do not propose to claim broadly a top adjustable with reference to the bow, but eonne myself to a top capable of the peculiar adjustmentsv on the bow hereinbefore explained.
The side rails B incidentally serve as guards to prevent injury to the child from the wheels.
The top and bow being detachable the can rage may be used Without them, if desired; and this feature also permits of packing it to better advantage, both as concerns space and protection against damage during transit.
Whether the bow be constructed as shown in Figs. l and 2, or as indicated in Fig. 3, it
of the top as to admit of its being thrown into a vertical position on either leg of the bow.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. In combination with the bowA of a childs carriage, the top E, hinged to the bowaml also laterally adjustable thereon, as set forth.
2. In combination with a pivoted and adjustable bow, A, ot' a ehilds carriage, the top E, hinged to said bow and also laterally adjustable thereon, as set forth.
3. lThe combination of the bow A, having A slote, side rail B, sleeve D, and clampingscrew O, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to the foregoing specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEO. P. srEiNBAcH.
