ROBERT S. MARSHALL, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA.
CRADLE.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 234,311, dated November 9, 1880. Application filed June 23, 1880. (Model) To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ROBERT S. MARSHALL, of Allegheny city, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cradles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a suspended or swinging cradle.
The invention consists in combining with a cradle a table and two curved connecting-rods, to form the new article of manufacture hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view, partly in section, illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is atransverse vertical section. Fig. 3 is a perspective view. Fig. 4 is a detailed sectional view of one of the notched bearing-surfaces.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.
A represents the body of the cradle, which may be of any suitable description. From the ends of the cradle extend two rods, B, which are curved outward, then upward, and then downward, so as to form an approximate halfcircle. The lower ends of the rods B are secured to theends of the cradle, and the upper ends terminate at points about over the longitudinal center of the cradle. The upper ends of the rods B are placed upon a suitable surface, and the cradle is rocked by swinging it.
In order to provide for suspending the eradle properly I employ a frame or table, 0, consisting of a top and four legs, and in order to prevent the displacement of the rods B, I employ notched or grooved bearing-surfaces D, in which the upper ends of the rods rest, said ends being pointed or tapered, or formed into knife-edges, as shown in Fig. 4.
The top of the tableO is cut away, as shown at d, for a distance equal to about half the width of the cradle, which is suspended from the table in such a position that the top of the table lies between the points of suspension and the curved portions of the rods. When so suspended, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the cut-away portion cl leaves the entire top of the cradle accessible for the purpose of placing or removing the child.
Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination, substantially as described, of a cradle, a table having bearing-surfaces directly over the longitudinal axis of the eradle, and curved rods B, having their lower ends rigidly attached to the cradle and their upper ends resting in the hearings in the table, for the purpose set forth.
ROBERT SOMERS MARSHALL.
