RODNEY G. BRITTON, OF SPRINGFIELD, VERMONT.
TOP FOR CARRIAGES.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 267,997, dated November 2 8, 1882.
Liiplication filed January 12, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I,RODNEY G. BRITTON, of Springfield, Windsor county,Vermont, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Parasol Attachments for Childrens Carriages; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.
This invention is in the nature of an improvement in parasol attachments forchildrens carriages; and the invention consists in a parasol for childrens carriages, provided with a swivel-ring and set-screw, in combination with jaws formed on the end of the supporting-rod, whereby the parasol may depend over the body of the carriage or be turned backward over thetop of the supporting-rod,
substantially in the manner hereinafter particularly described.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figurel represents a side view of my parasol, partly in section; Fig. 2, a plan or top View of jaws in support, swivel-ring, and set-screw.
Similar letters' of reference indicate like parts in both figures. g
This invention is particularly applicable to childrens carriages and to vehicles of similar construction; and it relates mainly to the ad- 0 justable feature of the parasol-that is, so that h it can depend from the support to screen the occupant from the sun, &c., and, if desired,can
be thrown back out of the way. To accomplish this, the supporting-barA of the parasol is provided at its upper or front end withjaws B. Between these jaws is placed a ring, 0, which, by means of trunnions a, fixed to the ring, is held in place between the jaws, these trunnions passing through t-he sides of the 40 jaws and forming pivots that enable the ring 0 to freely turn Within the jaws. The ring 0 is also provided with a set-screw, b. Now,wheu
,lthe end 0 of the stick of the parasol D is inserted in thering O the set-screw b will firmly hold it fixed in that position. The ring 0 can then be freely turned between the jaws B so as to bring the parasol in a dependent position suspended over the head of the occupant of the carriage, (see Fig.1;) or it may as readily be thrown backward over the support and out ofthe way, if desired, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1. In either its suspended or backward position, the parasol may be closed or opened as will be most convenient, and the parasol may be of the construction ordinarily adopted for childrens carriages, or it may be modified to some extent. It can also be wholly removed from the supporting-barA andringOby simply loosening the set-screw b. The lower end of the supporting-bar A may be attached to the body of the carriage by any convenient means, such as clamps, clips, or screws.
Heretofore in this class of tops the supporting-standard has been jointed to permit the folding and displacement of the top, and the top has been secured to the standard by means of a tube supported on fixed pivots, or fixed in a ring pivoted in the forked end of said standard, the stick of theumbrella-top sliding up anddown in this tube and held therein by a spring-catch. By this construction the top cannot be turned back, as in my case; Having now described myinvention,what1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination, substantially as shown and described, of a parasol having a stick, a, and a standard, A, halving the jaws B and a ring, 0, pivoted therein, in which ring the stick is secured by means of a set-screw, b, the construction being such as that the parasol may depend over the body of the carriage or be folded and turned backward over the top of the standard.
2. In a parasol for childrens carriages, a swivel-ring provided with a set-screw, as and for the purpose described.
RODNEY G. BRITTON.
