My invention relates to an improvedcollapsible doll carriage,the object being to produce, at a low cost for manufacture, an attractive and convenient doll carriage, constructed with particular reference to lightness and cheapness of construction, as well as to adaptability to be readily set up and, after use, collapsed into a relatively-compact form for storage or transportation.
With these ends in View, my invention consists in a'collapsible doll carriage having certain details of construction and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings: 1 I
Fig. 1 is a View in side elevation of my improved doll carriage as set up for use;
Fig. 2 is a view thereof in rear elevation;
Fig. 3 is a broken view in side elevation showing the body-frame hooked onto the forward upper ends of the pivotal front frame- Fig. 4 is a broken view in side elevation showing the pivotal connection of. the rear ends of the side-pieces of the body-frame and the lower ends of the side-arms of the canopyframe to the rear ends of the rear framepieces; v
Fig. 5 is a corresponding'view showing the washer removed and the pivot of the adjacent end ofthe rear end-piece ofthe body-frame in section; V
Fig. 6 is a sectional viewon the line 6-6 of'FigA; e I
Fig. 7 is a'sectional view on the line 77 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 8 is a view showing the development of the collapsible canvas body of the carriage;
Fig. 9 is a View in side elevation of my improved doll carriage partially collapsed; and
Fig. 10 is a view thereof as fully collapsed, in which the folded frame-pieces rest upon the wheel-axles and in which the body-frame comes to rest substantially in the plane of. the wheel-axles, with the canopy-frame and han dle-frame superimposed in substantially horizontal positions upon it.
In carrying out my invention as herein shown, I employ, for the frame of the carriage, two parallel, complementary, rigid,
"side-pieces 23,
front frame-pieces 15, the forward ends of which are joined by a reach 16 standing at a right angle to them, the said frame-pieces and reach being formed, by preference, from a single piece of substantially-rigid sheetmetal, The said frame-nieces 15, which are separated from each otiier l 3y the .width of the carriage, are connected at their rear lower ends by an axle 17 on which the rear wheels 18 are mounted. The frame of the carriage also comprises two parallel, complementary, rigid, rear frame-pieces l9 somewhat longer than the framepieces 15, and pivotally connected therewith, respectively, about midway of their length, by pivots 20, the right-hand frame-piece being pivoted to the righthand frame-piece l9 and crossed with respect thereto, and the left-hand frame-piece 15 being pivoted to the left-hand fra1ne-piece 19 and crossed with respect thereto, the respective pivots 20 being in line with each other. The forward lower ends of the rearframepieces 19 are connected by an axle 21 carrying the front wheels 22. The axis of the pivots 20 is about midway between the front and rear wheels, which ap zroaeh and separate as the franie pieces turn on the said pivots, so as to contract the wheel-base of the carriage when it is set up, and elongate the wheel-base when it is collapsed.
T he several frame-pieces. as thus organized and the front and rear wheels are suiiiciently separatec laterally or spread apart for the reception between them of an oblong bodyframe, which consists of two corresponding theforward ends of which are united by a forwardly-inclined end-piece 24 cut at its ends to form a pair of assemblingfingers 25 which are passed through inclined slots 26 near the forward ends of the said side-pieces 23, and bent over upon the uter faces thereof in opposite directions (Fig. 3).. The rear ends of the said sidepieces 23 of the frame-body are united by an end-piece 27, the ends of which are cut to form flat trunnions 28 which extend outwardly through slots 29 near the rear ends of the frame-pieces 19, through slots 30 in the rear ends of the side-pieces 23, and also through slotted-washers 31, the extreme ends of the said trunnions being cut to form a pair of assembling-fingers 32 which are folded down in opposite directions upon the outer face of the washers 31 (Figs. 4 and 6).
At their extreme forward ends the sidepieces 23 of the body-frame are formed with dowimrdly-opening vertical setting-up slots 33 adapted to be hooked over outwardlyprojecting setting-rip studs 34 in the upper endsof the front I me-pieces of the main frame. A handle-frame, consisting of sidearms 35 united at their outer ends by an integral reach or handle-bar 36 substantially corresponding in length to the width of the 15 carriage, is pivoted to the extreme rear ends of the rear frame-pieces 19 by pivots 37 pasing through the said side-arm 35 near the lower ends thereof. For maintaining the "handle-frame in its open position, the ex- ;-,,-treme lower ends of its side-arms 35 are struck inwardly to form locking-projections which snap into locking-holes 39 in the "rear ends of the rear frame-pieces 19 (Fig. 7).
A canopy-frame, also substantially corre- 'vh sponding in width to the width of the carriage, consists of side-arms 40 united by a reach 41, the lower ends of these arms being perforated as at 42 for the reception of the trunnions 28 upon which the canopy-frame 15 is pivoted, as shown in Fig. 6.
The body proper of the carriage consists of any suitable fabric cut by preference to form such a blank as shown in Fig. 8, comprising an oblong center 43, comp ementary rectan lar endaps 44, and triangular sidefla 4%: The 0 posed edges of the ends 44 an triangular aps 45, when sewed togethet, produce a body having an oblong bottom, sides having tapering ends, and outwardlyinclined ends, as shown. The edges of the body thus reduced are folded over and hemmed to orm pockets through which the side-bars 23 and the end- bars 24 and 27 of the bod -frame are inserted in the usual manner, w ereby the flexible bod of the carriage is suspended from the b0 y-frame, so as to hang between the upper portlons of the pivoted front and rear frame-pieces 15 and 19 (Figs. 1 and 9).
" The flexible canopy 46 has its front and rear ends folded over and hemmed to form pockets for the reception of the reach 41 of the canopy-frame and a rod 47 extending bethe sidearms 35 of the handle-frame. Under the construction above described, the frame proper of the carriage, consisting of the pivotal frame- pieces 15 and 19, is extensible and collapsible in the vertical plane by astraight up-and-down movement, while the body-frame, the handle-frame and the canopy-frame are adapted to be swung in the vertical plane-the canopy-frame over of! top of the body-frame and the handle- "frame over on the top of the canopy-frame.
f" Tweet up the carriage, its main framepieces are lifted or opened out until the setting-up slots 33 in the forward ends of the side-pieces 23 of the body-frame may be hooked over the setting-up studs 34 in the forward ends of the front frame-pieces 15, whereby the whole structure is stabilized in itsopon position. It is now only necessary to swing the handle-frame rearward until it snaps into its locked position. This will effeet the lifting-of the camp -frame into its open "position. To collapse t e carriage, it is merely necessary to disengage the said slots '33 from the studs 34, whereupon the whole structure will vertically collapse or sit down until the lower edges of the four frame- pieces 15 and 19 come to rest upon the wheel- axles 17 and 21, the wheels 18 and 22 being, by the turning of the said framepieces 15 and 19 on their pivots 20, pushed apart and the carriage-base thus elongated. At this time the body-frame will be well be- :low the upper portions of the wheels in a protected position, the wheels being sufiiciently spread apart, as described, to receive the body-frame between them. The canopy- 9" frame is now folded over upon the bodyframe and the handle-frame folded over upon the canopyframe to bring the whole structure into its collapsed position, as shown by Fig. 10, in which, considering its bulk when set up, it occupies so little space that it may be "not only handled easily but packed for transportation to the greatest advanclaimz A ronically-collapsible doll carriage having on either side a rigid front and a rigid rear frame-piece pivoted together about midway of their length on the same axis, front wheels carried by the lower ends ofthe'rear frameieoes, rear wheels carried by the lower ends 0 the front frame-pieces, a noncollapsible body-frame narrower than the spread between the said wheels and pivotally connected with the rear ends of the rear framepieces and adapted at its forward end to be engaged with and disengaged from the for 'ward'ends of the front frame-pieces, a handle-frame pivotally connected with the rear endsof the-rear frame-pieces, and a canopyframe pivotally connected with the ends of the rear end-piece of the bod -frame, whereby,when thebody-frame is isengaged from the front frame-pieces,'the carriage collapses in the vertical plane, the wheels then moving apart and the body-frame comingto rest between them.
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification.
