PATENT QFFIOE.

IMPROVEMENT IN PERAMBULATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 184,867, dated November 28, 18. 6 PP filed March 21, 1874.

- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH N. HAZELIP, of Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have in vented a new and valters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawing is a representation of a plan view of my childrens perambula tor, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same.

This invention has relation to perambulators or carriages for children, wherein a rigid or stifi' top or canopy is connected to the body by side joints and jointed standards insuch manner that this canopy can be turned back as described in my Letters Patent numbered 132,531, and dated October 29, 1872.

My invention consists in combining rear handles with a canopy of the above named kind, in such manner that the canopycan be turned backward and downward between these handles without interference there, as will be hereinafter explained.

Prior to my invention carriages for children.

have been constructed with tops which would fold back upon but not between rear handles consequently the tops would not serve as backs to the seats when folded.

The following is a description of my improve-- ment: In the annexed drawings,A designates the body of a childs carriage; B B, the wheels thereof. 0 are the upright springs, and D and jointed standards E, substantially as described in my Letters Patent above referred to, which joints allow the top or canopy to be erected over the body, or to be turned back, as shown in both figures of the drawings. F designate the handles of the carriage, which are rigidly secured to the body A, at its rear part, and extended backward and upward a suitable distance, and connected together by a hand-bar, a. I bow or bend the handles F F laterally between their ends, so as toallow a sufficient space between them for the passage of the top or canopy, to be turned down between them, and brought in close relation to the back board of the carriage, thereby forming a good back to the carriage. Instead of bowing the handles F F, for the purpose just named, they may be secured to offsets on the carriage-body, and extended back parallel to each other, or any other suitable arrangement of these handles may be adopted which will leave the space between them gaeater than the width of the canopy D, or which will allow the canopy to be turned fully back withoutinterference with them.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Rear handles F, combined with the pivoted top or canopy D, and the carriage-body A, said handles being so constructed and arranged with reference to the body and top, that, when tne latter isthrown backward, it shall fall between said handles, substantially as specified. I

In testimony that I claim the above I hav hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
