Oct. 26, 1937. H. E. GILBERT SLED CONSTRUCTION Filed Sept. 11
INVENTOR.
Patented Oct. 26, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SLED CONSTRUCTION Hakon E. Gilbert, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Application September 11, 1936, Serial No. 100,243
1 Claim.
Another object is to provide a sled which affords a comfortable seat for the passenger and.
which may be propelled from behind by pushing or kicking with one foot. 7
Still another object is to provide a sled which may be easily steered and the speed of which may be controlled by simple manipulation of the foot.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent as the specification proceeds and which is taken in connection with the accompanying drawing illustrating by way of example a preferred embodiment of the inventive concept.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side view of a sledor toboggan according to the invention showing the collapsible feature in dotted lines.
Figure 2 is a top plan view.
Figure 3 is a section along the line 3 -3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a section along the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is adetail view of a portion of the front part of the sled.
Having reference to the drawing, Ill indicates the runners. These runners are elongated and extend a substantial distance in back of the back supports l l for the purpose which will hereinafter be described.
The runners are bent upward at the front to form a bow for the sled. A crossbar I2 is pivoted to the two runners. The arched supports I3 are pivoted to the back support II at M and are connected by means of a crossbar l5 and H5 at the rear and front respectively.
A plurality of strips I! are attached to the arched supports I 3 to provide a seat.
The front crossbar i6 is provided with pins l8 which normally rest in slots IS on the crossbar l2 and are held in place by latches comprising a bolt 2| reciprocable within the housing 22. Thus the frame composed of the parts I 3-l 5-I6 may be lifted from the slots l9 by,
simply withdrawing the bolt 2| by means of the handle 23.
The back supports II are pivoted to the runners H! at 24 and thus the entire chair portion composed of the parts I3l5i6 and H may be folded down substantially flush with the runners.
The back supports II are preferably connected at the upper ends by a crossbar 25 which also serves as a handle in pushing the sled.
The rear portion of the runners III are provided with foot rests 26 and 21 upon which the tobogganist may stand when coasting the sled. The position of these foot rests may be adjusted according to the needs and desires of the individual tobogganist by means of the clamps 28 -15 normally pressing against the runner.
A brake comprising a flexible strip 29 provided with a hook or a claw 3B is mounted on a crossbar 3|. This crossbar is pivoted to the runners II] at 32 and 33 in order not to inter- 2O fere with the steering of the sled. Braking may be effected simply by pressing down the strip A collapsible sled having a pair of parallel 35 runners bent at their forward end to form a how, a pair of normally upright supports for pushing the sled pivoted at their lower ends to said runners, a cross bar connecting the forward ends of. said runners, a seat frame pivotally secured at 3 the rear end to said supports to form a permanent connection, a cross bar connecting the forward end of said seat frame, studs projecting from said last mentioned cross bar and said first mentioned cross bar being notched to 're-, ceive said studs and locking means carried by said first mentioned cross bar to lock said seat frame in position when the sled is assembled for use.
