HOMER J. DERNBERGER, OF OXFORD, MICHIGAN.
CARRIAGE-TOP ATTACHMENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent Np. 351,253, dated October 19, 1886.
Application filed February 23, 1886. Serial No. 192,889. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HOMER J. DERNBERGER, of Oxford, county of Oakland, State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Carriage-Top Attachments; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will en able others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to a new and useful improvement designed to facilitate the operation of carriage-top braces and rendering them easy of operation from within the carriage in raising and lowering the top.
My invention consists of the combinations of devices and appliances hereinafter specified, and more particularlypointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure l is a side elevation of a carriage-top with the side curtain removed. Fig. 2 is a separate view illustratingthe application of my invention. Fig. 3 is a sectional view, and Fig. 4. a separate view, as also Fig. 5.
I carry out my invention as follows:
A represents the carriage-bows constructed and arranged in any ordinary manner; B, the carriage-top; O, the carriage-brace, also constructed-in the usual manner, and hinged, as shown at c.
D is thehorizontal brace, to which the brace O is pivotally connected, as shown at d.
E represents a lever of any desired form, having a crank portion, I, constructed to engage the brace O, and extended thence into the inside of the carriage and within easy reach of the operator. This lever may be variously constructed to engage the brace. It will be convenient to provide thelever with a hooked end, as shown at e, to grasp the brace. So, also, itmay be constructed in a variety of forms without departing from the principle of my invention.
As shown in Fig. 1, the lever is made to serve as the pivot'of the adjacent bow and braces, the lever and pivot being integrally one. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a separate pivot, cl, may be employed, the lever being an independent attachment. As shown in Fig. 5, the pivot d may be provided with a leverarm to engage the brace, and with an operating-handle, E, engaged 'DhOlOOIb The handle may be of any desired shape. Moreover, the lever may be held in place in numerous ways, all coming within the scope of my invention. Either as constituting or forming a part of the bolt (1, or as shown in Fig. 2, the bow A may be provided with a clip, F, in which the lever is journaled, as shown at f,- or, again, as shown in Fig. 3, a pendent bearing, F, may be engaged upon the pivot 11, in which said lever is journaled, as shown at f, and I would have it understood that I do not confine my self to any particular method of supporting the lever.
The operation of the device is as follows: The occupant of the carriage, wishing to let downer close up the carriage-top, grasps the handle of the lever and turns it in the proper direction to open or close the hinge c of the brace.
The device is evidently simple in construction, economical, and affords a means of readily and easily operating the carriage-top without change ofposition.
\Vhat I claim as new, and Letters Patent, is
The combination, with the framework of a carriage-top, of a hinged brace and a lever formed with a crank portion outside of the top, engaged with said brace, and a handle inside of the top to adjust the brace, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof Isign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
HOMER J. DERNBERGER.
