CHILDS COASTER.
Application filed November 23, 1923. Serialv No. 676,532.
My invention relates tov improvements in childrens coasters, and vits objects are: first, to provide a means whereby the danger of the back end of the coaster slewing, when coasting upon snow, will be reduced to the minimum; second, to provide a means whereby Va wheeled coaster maybe readily steered withoutthe necessity of throwing the handles sidewise, and, third, to provide a means whereby the height of the handles may be varied to accommodate the heightr of the user. Y
I attain these objects by the several'linesV of construction shown in the accompanying drawing, iii which Fig. .1 is an'elevation of the coaster as constructed for use upon snow. Fig. 2 is a like view for use upon plain road surfaces. Fie. 3 is a topplan of the coaster'. Fig. i is a bottom plan of the coaster shoe. 5 is a front elevation of the coaster indicating the manner of steering the same when mouiit-edupon casters, and, Fig. 6 is a side and a'front elevation of an adjustable brace, comprising the two parts, 6 and '6 secured together by the bolt 6.
Similar reference numerals indicate similar parts throughoutv the several views.
This coaster is made upof an vordinary coaster runner lV curvedv upwardly and backwardly at the front, as indicated at Q., and
having handle bars 3, all supported by a metal brace 6. vIn this instance I have placed a metal shoe, 5, upon the vrunner l, and at the bock end ofsaid shoe I have formed a 'downwardly projecting bearing A5 that is designed to impress'itself into the surface of a snow covered slideway sufficiently to avert the danger of this end of the ruimer being slewed sidewise when the coasteris suddenly turned from a direct course, especially when coasting down hill where a solidly` packed snow surface prevails. rIhis projecting bearing should be impressed into the upper surface ofv the shoe with a press and die so as, to form smooth rounded ends below the shoe.'
that'will makeV a smooth clean cut track in the snow.
.I convert this coaster into a wheeled, or
summer coaster by placing a non-swiveled wheel '8 through the opening 9 in the runner as shown, and mounted in the bearing 10 in such a manner that it may revolve freely, and, also, a swiveledcaster, 7 'at the forward end of therunner, as indicated in Fig. 2. The object of using a swiveled caster at this point is to provide a means of steering the coaster,
which is done by throwing it over to the right, or to the left, as indicated vby the dotted lines in `Fig. 5, by which means thev caster is swung to one side ,orv the other, and revolves freely with the coaster moving in vthe desired direction, thus, withV the handles,
or upper end of the coaster thrown over to 1 the right,` the caster will be forced to swing to the left, and vice versa, andk will thus guide the coaster as desired. v When it is desired to change theiheight ofthe handle when using the adjustable brace the bolt 6. is loosened and the plates t3 and 6 are lengthened or shortened yas it- Y is desired to raise or lower the handle bars,"
and when -thedesiied height is attained'the ,bolt is again secured Vfirmly to therplates binding them firmly together. Y
When this coasterv is converted into al wheeled coaster, ashereiiibefore described,
the bead 5 acts asa strengthening element iii the shoe'bacl: of the wheel 8.
Having thus' fully described my invention," l Si.
what I claimas new in the art, is:
In combination with, a-'childs coaster having a wooden ruimer bent upwardly and f backwardly at the front end, and having a laterally disposed handle secured across the upper end of the' curved part of the runner,
said runner 'i protected with an iroii shoe,v
and said shoe having a longitudinally disposed depressed rib near the back end of the runner, and a longitudinally adjustable Y y Vbrace in the curve of the runner for adjustfy ing the hei ghtof the handle bar tothe height of the child using the coaster.y
