BUGGY-BOOT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,518, dated July 21, 1885.
Application filed September 24, 1884. (No model.)
vide a device of this character which will be simple and durable in construction, convenient in application, and efficient in use; which will conform to the shape of the body, but not inclose its edges, and which will be provided with means for automatically locking the boot in its closed position.
Vith these and other objects in view the said invention consists in certain details of construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a buggy-body with our improved boot applied thereto, and showing it in the raised position. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the frame to which the boot is attached. Fig. 4 is a detached transverse section on the line 00 m, Fig. 2.
Like letters are used to indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a buggy-body 0f the ordinary construction, which we have shown in order to give a clear idea of the nature of the present invention.
B designates a frame, which may be made of wood, metal, or any suitable material, and preferably rectangular in form, consisting of sides a a and ends I) b, the forward portions of the sides being bent or inclined upward at c c, the end I) being attached or formed with the extremity of the inclined portion. lVe have shown the frame as made in one piece of ma terial; but of course we do not wish to be limited to this construction. As will be seen, the bending or inclining of the sides enables the frame to conform to and rest against the rear end of the seat-frame, and thus allow the at= tachment of the boot to the under side of the seat, as will be presently explained.
To each of the sides a of the frame are attached spring-catches O O, which are in the form of a compound curve, their lower ends being turned inward to form a bearing-point, d, above the ends.
D designates the boot, made of leather and fitting over the frame, the edges of the boot fitting around and inclosing the sides a and ends I), and stitched to the boot within the frame, as seen at e. The front end of the boot is extended beyond the frameB at E, and attached to the under side of the seat F by means of buttons, rivets, or other suitable means, this attachment forming What might be called a hinge, the boot turning 011 this point when raised or lowered.
The operation of our invention will be readilyunderstood from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the annexed drawings. The spring-catches are attached to the frame, the boot secured thereto, and also attached to the under side of the seat. In its closed position the leather covered frame rests on the upper edge of the body, but does not inclose its edges, as formerly, so as to hide or disfigure the outlines of the body. When closed down, the bearing edge or point d of the catches O bears against the inner side of the body and holds the boot in that position.
In raising the boot the catches will auto matically yield by reason of their peculiar construction, and in closingdown the bearingedge d will abut against the inner side of the body, yield outward, and then spring back into position. In this manner the boot may be raised and lowered at will and in a very short time, since there are no buttons, hooks, or eyes or similar fastenings to release.
The rigid frame serves as a support for the boot proper to retain it in shape, so as to prevent sagging in the middle.
The boot and the supporting-frame are to be made to conform to the shape of the body, and may be detached therefrom at will. We do not limit ourselves to any particular form. material, or construction, as such may be va ried at will and come within the scope of the present invention. The boot is simple and durable in construction, it presents a neat and.
and having their bearing edges pressing against the inner face of the sides of the body, as and for the purpose set forth. I
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto affixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses. Y
