`cl-uLos CARRIAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,379, dated April S, 3.884.
Application filed "November 16, 1883. (No model.)
To @ZZ wiz/m it may concern:
Be it known that l, CLEM BAILEY, of Kinston, in the county of Lenoir, North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Carriages; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specication, and to the figures ro and letters or" reference marked thereon.
Ghildrens carriages as heretofore usually constructed are bulky and inconvenient for shipment and storage. Occupyin g, as they do, a relatively large space proportionate to their i 5 weight, they are always in the way when not in use, and at the same time are liable tobbecome broken or injured if left standing around, and in traveling from place to place or during temporary visits it is both inconvenient 2o and expensive to transport them. Moreover, unless shipped from the manufactory all set up, it requires a skilled mechanic to place the parts in proper relation and position; and when on ce lined it is difficult to take them apart and store them without injury to the finish and breaking Vand losing some of the parts, and even then they are not in such shape as to be readily packed into a small compass. Attempts but partially successful have been I 3o made to remedy these defects by constructing the carriage in sections adapted to be folded together into a smaller compass, but in all such eases it has been at the expense of the appearance, solidity, and convenience of the structure.
My present invention is designed to overcome these and other defects heretofore existing in the construction and arrangements of the parts of carriages, and it relates to the 4o manner of constructing and arranging the parts, whereby the carriage may be readily converted into a cradle,ta ken apart and packed in a trunk or other receptacle, set up when desired, and any part or portion, if injured, may be replaced, all as hereinafter described,
and pointed out in the claims.
My improved carriage is illustra-ted in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is perspective view; Fig. 2, a similar view, c showing the carriage-body mounted upon the handle-bar supports to ferm a cradle. Fig. 3
shows the seat and backrest detached, and Figs. Li, 5, 6, 7, S, 9,-and l0 illustrate details.
Similar letters of reference in the several figures denote the same parts.
The carriage-body is composed of five pieces or sections, A A, B B, and C. The two end pieces, B B, are fastened to the side pieces, A A, by thumb-screws c, the bottom piece, C, being provided with doWel-pins c-two or 6o more at each end, (and at the sides, if desired,)-which t into suitable openings in the end (and side) pieces.
The carriage-handle is made in three parts,
D D and E, detachably secured together and to the sides of the body. The handle-bar E is provided near each end with projections cr doWel-pins d d, iitting into suitable openings in the side bars, D, where it is secured by thumb-screws c c. The side bars,l),are formed 7c nlthe are of a circle, and serve the double purpose of sustaining the handle-bar and furnishing .the rockers i'or the cradle, as will hereinafter appear. They are attached at or near the end of the head-board B by a hookjoint, f, engaging a key-plate, f the hook being arranged to enter the plate at some angle other than that at which the side bz r is normally secured, so that it will not be possible to disengage or unlock the side bar without So unfastening and turning it out oi' position. Other forms of locks may be substituted, or a thumb nut or screw be used for the purpose. The lower ends of the side bars are fastened to the body by thumb-screws c', which also S5 serve to support and clamp the standard FF, carrying the top G.
The carriage top or canopy G is pivoted upon a rod, f, passing through ears or bearings, and provided with screw-threaded ex- 9o tremities for the reception of thumb-nuts g', by which the top is fastened to the standards F. A 'dat spring resting against the top G and bearing upon the rod f serves as abrake to hold the top in position. As thus construc-ted, the top is rendered readily adjustable together with or upon its standards, and may with equal facilityibe taken apart. The rcmoval of the thumb-screws securing the side bars, D D, at once releases the standards and roo permits the removal of the top.
At each oi' the four corners of the body is secured a leg, H, by a thumb-screw, h.. When the body is applied to the running-gear, these legs are turned up out of the way, as shown in Fig. l, in which position they serve as o rnaments; or theyniay be removed, if desired. Each leg is provided with adowel pin or spur, h', which engages in a suitable opening or socket, h, in the body, to fix and steady the leg when turned down into position. The body with the leg thus turned down forms a crib. Toconvert or change this crib into a rocker .or cradle, the side bars, D D,which are properly curved for the purpose, are applied to the legs, as shown in Fig. 2. The legs H are formed to fit into sockets in the side bars, D, where they are secured by thumb-screws 70'. When the legs are turned up and the top, side bars, and handle fixed in position, the body may be applied to the running-gear, as shown in Fig. l. The axles I I are provided with sockets 'i z', iitted to receive the ends of bars J J. The springs K K are provided with slotted or perforated ends 'lc k at the top, and with base-plates 7c 7c', having ears 7c 7c, fitting into slots or recesses in the socketsii, attached to the axle. A thumb-screw, j, passing through the base-plate 7c of the spring, the end of the bar J, and into the bottom of the socket t' or axle I, serves to clamp and hold them iirmly in position. A The carriage-body is fastened securely upon the springs by passing the lower thumb-screws, a a, through the ears 7c 7c. rIhe wheels L L are secured upon the axles I I by thumb-nuts Z Z.
Ihe seat t and the back rest, s, are made in sections and separate from the carriage-body. The back rest, s, is iitted to the back end of the carriage-body and rests upon the bottom thereof. It may be fastened or held in place by cleats, if desired. The seat t is hinged or otherwise removably attached to the front rest or support, t', and removablyconnected to the back rest by hooks engaging staples or eyes fastened thereto.
It is obvious that the removable sectional seat and back rest can be utilized as a chair by adding suitable braces to prevent the sections from folding together or coming apart.
To prevent the loss or 'misplacement of the thumb-screws and nuts, it is desirable that they should be fastened by a chain and collar or other suitable means to some adjacent part or portion of the frame. In Fig. 1 I have shown the thumb-screws a attached to the foot-board by 'chains a. The side pieces, A A, are furnished with suitable supports, Z, for the body-strap.
rIhe advantages of the structure above described are numerous and obvious. rlhe organization is such that it can readily be taken apart and stowed away in a medium-sized trunk, chest, or other receptacle, and put together again when required for use. It furnishes in one structure all the elements necessary for a carriage, a cradle, a crib, and a stool or chair in compact and convenient form, convertible at pleasure and with but little labor.
All oftheparts canbe duplicated andreplaced when worn or injured, no especial skill being required to iit them in place.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as newl. In a carriage such as described, and in combination with the running-gear, the detachable body mounted directly upon the springs and provided with folding legs, sub- I stantially as described.
2. In a carriage such as described, and in combination with the running-gear thereof, the removable body mounted directly upon the springs, and provided with folding legs and the separable rockers, substantially as l thumb-screws, arranged and applied substanfy tially as described.
