UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PIERRE DANsEEEAU, OF MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA.
CARRIAGIIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,860, dated July 5, 1881.
Application filed April 27, 1581. (No model.)-
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PIERRE DANSEREAU, of the city and district of Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriages; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
This invention has reference more particularly to the construction and arrangement of the tops of carriages, to obviate the difficulty that when tops are made so that they let down and are formed of flexible material, they in a short time show all the ribs of the bows, and thereby become shabby-looking and illshaped, and this defect cannot be remedied without removing the covering of the top and replacing it with a new one.
By my invention a rigid top is provided, ar-
. ranged in sections, so that when it is desired to turn down the top it may be folded up and then turned down; also, as constructed, whenever the top that I have invented becomes shabby it is only necessary to coat it with paint, &c., to make it look as good as new.
My invention also enables glass panels to be used all round the carriage, a thing that is very much desired by the public at this time.
In the drawings hereunto annexed similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a carriage embodying myinvention, with the top up. Fig. 2 is a part elevation of the same, with the top down. Fig. 3 is an elevation of upper part of the back of the carriage. Fig. 4 is a plan of the top, and the outlines of this figure give also the outline of the body of the carriage.
Letter A is the body of the carriage, of ordinary construction; but for my invention to be carried out it is necessary that the body of the carriage should be made somewhat larger in width at or near the center than the front and back; but this is almost the invariable way in which they are constructed.
B is the door. The door-posts are made in two parts, 0 D. These are attached together by a hinge, E, by which the parts D maybe turned from the position shown in Fig. 1 tothat in Fig. 2-that is to say, to a horizontal position.
The top of the carriage is made in five parts or sections, F, G, H, I, and K, of which the section G is secured to the front post, I), of the doors, there being one on each side of the carriage, and the said section G has the two sections F and H hinged thereto by the hinges L and M. The section I is securely attached on the back post, D, of the door, and has the section K attached thereto by a hinge, N. Each of the sections F, G, H, I, and K are framed in' wood or other rigid material and covered with any desired material, similar to the stationary tops.
0 are the back, and P the front, posts, at the respective corners of the carriage. Each of these are provided at R with a joint or hinge, by which they can be turned down to or about a horizontal position transverse with the carriage.
S is the front, and S the back, stays, of ordinary construction, but so arranged that they close downward instead of upward, as is usual, and when closed I prefer to arrange these stays so that they will come to the position shown in Fig, 2.
A is the stand, and B theseat, hinged together at 0, so that the seat may be turned up, as indicated by the dotted lines. In the stand A a chamberis formed for the reception of the sashes when they are not required, as in the position shown in Fig. 2.
The sections H I are joined by dowel-pins and catches, and catches and dowel-pins are also provided for securing the posts P and O in the upright position with the top when so placed. Any suitable strip or joint is formed to keep moisture from entering the carriage at the joints between the sections.
In Fig. 5 is shown a cross-section of D on line X X, Fig. 1, from which it will be understood that a rabbet is formed on them, and a similar rabbet on all the sides of the spaces for the reception of the sashes, which has been left out in the other figures on account of the smallness of the scale upon which they are drawn. The sashes are secured in any suitable manner, in which I do not claim any invention.
The dotted lines in Fig. 4 show the position that the section Fof the top will come to when folded up with the section G; also how the section K will fold with the section I.
It will thus be seenthat by making the posts D, both back and front of the doors, in two parts, 0 and D, and by making the front and back posts,.P and O, to turn down transversely, and by dividing the sections of the top and hinging them together in the manner above described, all the sections of the top, with the exception of H, may, when turned down, he brought to a vertical, or nearly vertical, position, and the parts D of said posts to a horizontal position,as shown in Fig. 2.' This enables the sections of the front part of the top to be brought within a sufficiently small space to not increase the length of the neck of the carriage between the body A and stand A. It also enables the back sections of the top, when turned down, to be situated close up behind and ot project beyond the back wheels of the carriage, so that its length will not be increased.
What I claim as my invention, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:
1. The combination of the front post, D, of the doors,havin g section G of the top secured thereto, and said section Gr having sections F and H hinged thereto, with transverse folding or turn-down front posts,P, the whole con structed, arranged, and operated as shown and described.
2. The combination of the back post, D, of the doors, bearing-section I, secured thereto, said section having the section K hinged'thereto, with transverse folding or turn-down back posts, 0, the Whole constructed, arranged, and operating as shown and described.
3. The front posts, D, of the doors, having sections of top G, H, and F attached thereto, as described, in combination with the back posts, D, of the doors, having sections of top I and K attached thereto, as described, and with posts P and O, the whole constructed, arranged, and operating as described.
PIERRE DANSEREAU.
