March 8, 1932. E' E, RK 1,849,018 v 7 WAGON Filed Dec. 22, 1930 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR W BY ATTORNEY Patented Mar. 8 1932 UNITED STATES- waeon Application filed December 22, iasafs r ei no. 504,166.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in vehicles and more particularly to the manually operated toy types.
One of the principal objects of the mvention consists in the provision and arrangement of a propulsion apparatus of this character within convenient reach of the operator.
An additional object of the invention contemplates the provision and arrangement of a steering mechanism for the vehicle designed to retard undue swaying of the vehiclewhere by the occupant thereof will remain seated while turning sharp curves and the like. v
With the above and other objects in view, the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through the present invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of the present invention.
Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional View taken on line 4:4c of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a detail sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character indicates generally a platform upon which a saddle or seat, such as indicated at 11, is arranged. A bolt member 12, carriedbytheseat member, is adjustably positioned within a slot 13 in the platform 10 whereby the device may be regulated to accommodate operators of different stature. v
Supporting plates 14, having attaching ears 15 upon their uppermost ends and securedto the under side of the platform 10, project outwardly and downwardly therefrom toprovide spaced parallel apertured ears 16 journally accommodating the-immediate portions of a driven axle 17. Traction wheels 18 are fixed upon the outermost ends of the driven axle by key and slot connections, threads or. other well known means of fixation. A brace mem-, ber19, having connection at its ends with the supporting plates 14, carries an apertured lug 20 for journally accommodating an appropriate portion of adrive or power transmitting shaft 21. Beveled gears 22 and 23 respectively carried uponthe adjacent ends of the drive shaft 21 and the axle 17 are meshingly engaged in rightangularly disposed relation. The drive shaft is extended upwardly at an ATENT- OFFICE. r
inclination from the aforementioned drive.
connection and-projected through an appropriate portion ofthe platform 10 in advance ofthe slot13. A lug 24, carried upon the upper side of the platform 10, ournally accommodates an appropriate portion-of the drive shaft 21 tofdispose same inthe position shown infFigure'l" of the'dra-wings.
A bracket member 25, of substantially inverted U-shape formation, terminates to provide laterallyand outwardly projecting attaching flanges 26 upon the ends thereof secured'to the upper side ,of the platform 10 above the'latter mentioned journaled end of the drive shaft. A crank shaft 27, our-' n'aled within theopposed'sides of the bracket 'member' 25, carries a wormgear 28 thereon meshingly engaged with a complemental gear 29' similarly mounted upon the uppermost projecting end of the drive shaft 21. Crank handles 30, formed upon the outermost projecting ends of the crank shaft 27, are extended therefrom in diametrically opposed relation after the manner of the pedal arms of a bicycle sprocket.
The steering mechanism, alluded to in the foregoing, comprises upper and lower disk members 31 and '32 respectively. The disk 31 is provided with an annular depending flange 33 upon the peripheral edge thereof overhanging the marginal edge of the lowermost disk 32'whereby the latter will be received within the-cup ofthe uppermost disk, substantially as illustrated in Figures 1 and 5 of the drawings. A yoke-shaped hanger 34, of inverted U-shape formation has its uppermost portion rigidly secured, as at 35, to the under side of the disk 32. The disk 31 is, in turnfrigidly positioned upon the'under side of the platform 10 and a pivot pin 36 common to both disks is passed centrally therethrough. An axle 37, carried between the ends of the yoke member 34, has wheels 38 journaled upon the ends thereof. Ears or stops 39, carried by and depending from the annular flange 33 of the disk 31, are located in the path of movement of. the depending arms of the said member toprestrict undue turning of the steering wheels in either direction. It will be noted that the operator rests his feet uponiit'he axilel3fll The particular arrangement of the disks will obviate undue tilting of the vehicle when turning curves and the likeand yet permit the steering mechanism to be operated with excessive ease.
Although I have shown and described the foregoing construction applied toa toy -Ve hicle, it is obviously understood that same could be equally and effectually as well applied upon other forms of vehicles, machines or the like without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Although I have shown anddescribed the invention having the shaft and gearing connections as the means of power transmission, it is obviously apparent that chain and sprocket drives, belt and pulley drives andrope and spindle drives may be employedwithout departing from thespiritof the venti'on. I
The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions andminor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as, properly fall within the scope-of the appended claim.
Having described the invention, what is claimed is:
' A vehicle comprising a plattorm having steering wheel's, a support for the steering wheels having a disk, a cup-shaped member carried by the platform accommodatingsaid; disk for oscillatory shifting motion-therein, a pivot connection established between the cup-shaped member and disk, and stops carried by the cup-shaped member disposed in the path of movement of the steering mechanism to obviate undue shifting of the latter when the vehicle veers from itscourse.
In testimony whereof I aiflix signature.
