HIRAM W. RANSOM, ,OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, AssICNoR OF ONE-HALF TO THE EMERSON & FISHER COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
eueev eoor;
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 357,690, dated February 15, 1887.
Application filed July 1, 1886. Serial No. 206,718. (N model.)
. Cincinnati, in'the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buggy-Boots, ofwhich the following is a specification.
The various features of my invention and the advantages resulting from their use, conjointly or otherwise, will be apparent from the following specification.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section of apiano-boxbuggybody provided with my improved boot. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my improved boot, showing the under side.
The boot consists of a frame of peculiar construction, over which a leather cover is stretched. The part A of the frame is united to the part B, so as to fit the angle formed by the top of the body and the back of the seatsupport. The sides of this frame A B are each provided with a downwardly-extending flange, D. These flanges D are so adjusted as to fit snugly within the sides of the body of the vehicle.
The two sides and the rear'edge of the frame A B are preferably provided with a downwardly-extending flange, C. When the flange O is used, it is desirable that it be so placed as to leave a slight space between it and the outside of the body. The upper edge, E,of the part B is preferably fashioned into a round edge.
When the boot is put in position on the buggy, the edge E of the frame rests against the bottom of the seat at F and theframe rests on the body, the part A of the frame resting on the edge of the body proper, and the part B resting against the back. edges of the seatsupports. When in this position, the flanges D fit rather snugly within the sides of the body.
To retain the boot in position the springs G are used. One of these springs is shown in Fig. 1, where it is seen that it is attached by means of a hook to the horizontal part of the flange D, and also to the buggy-body at a point slightly lower than the top of the body. The tendency of this spring is to draw the boot both forward and downward, and thus to keep it securely in posit-ion. When the boot is raised, occupying the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1, the spring still tends to hold the edge E in place, and also to draw the boot down onto the body.
The device constitutes a boot which may be raised or lowered as the ordinary hinged boots now in use; but it possesses several advantages over the hinged boots. Having no hinge,
it is simple in construction, cheaper in manufacture, and more durable. The springs G, being merely hooked to the frame of the boot, are readily detached from it or attached to it, making it very easy to remove the boot entirely from the body or to replace it thereon. The means of attaching the boot to the body is so simple that it does not require a practical workman to apply the boot to the body of a vehicle.
A special advantage lies in the fact that the boot does not mar the body in any way. The inner flanges,D, together with the spring. hold the frame in position, so that the outer flanges, 0, may be placed far enough out not to touch the body at all.
I claim y 1. In a buggy-boot, the combination of the frame A B, provided with the flanges D, and having its edge E resting against the under side of the buggy-seat, and the springs G, attached to the boot below and behind the edge E, and the vehicle-body below and in front of the edge E, substantially as and for. the purposes specified. 8 5
2. 'A buggy-boot held in position on the top of the body of the vehicle and against the back of the seat by means of an elastic connection attached to the frame of the boot and to the body of the vehicle, substantially as and for 0.
buggy at points below and behind their points of attachment to the frame A B. substantially as and for the purposes specified.
