UNITE STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ROSWELL KOHN, OF DAVENPORT, IOWA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO HENRY l3. IIARFORD, OF SAME PLACE.
BUGGY-TOP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 375,075, dated December 20, 1887.
Application filed May 11, 1887. Serial No. 237,868.
the following to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a side view of abuggy, showing the buggytop in raised position. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the top closed. Fig. 3 isa rear view of one end of the seat, showing the brace secured thereto. Fig. 4 is a detail.
The invention relates to improvements in frames for the tops of vehicles, and is especially adapted to buggies, the object being to provide a frame and top of simple construction that, when not in use, can be turned entirely back of the seat; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, and illustrated in the drawings.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a vehicle-body, and B the seat thereon.
C is a frame secured to the top edges of the seat, and composed of the side brackets, c c, and transverse rods 0, connecting the rear 0 lower corners of said brackets. The brackets are each provided with an outstanding lug, a, on its front portion,situated near the front upper corner of the corresponding side of the seat,
D D are similar vertical rods, pivoted at their lower ends and at the rear lower corners, (l, of the corresponding brackets, 0, adjacent to the rear corners of the sides of the seat upon the rods 0, the rods D being outside of the 0 brackets. The said rods are provided with the arms E,extending forward from their lower ends, and having the catches e e, adapted to hook over the outstanding lugs 0 when the top is raised. The catches sliding in guides or 5 loops e, secured to the free ends of the arms E, are retracted by elastic cords a when engaged with the lugs, so as to hold more firmly thereon, the said cords having their inner ends secured to the angle formed by the rods D and arnis E.
(No model.)
F F are short arms standing at right angles forward from the tops of the rods D, both the arms E and F being rigidly stayed by the inclined brace-rods f f, as shown. The front ends of the arms F are pivoted or hinged at g to the side rods, h, of the frame H of the canopy or top it, which frame is preferably rectangular, the canopy being supported in a convex form, if desired, by suitably-bent wires or rods.
I I are the side braces, by means of which the top is raised and supported when elevated. Each of the said braces consists of the rods 6 t, the former pivoted at its lower end to the lower end of the corresponding rod, D, outside of the same, and the latter pivoted to the outer side of the corresponding side rod, h, a suitable distance in front of the hinge r The rods 13 and i are hinged together at i in such manner that the shoulders of the hinges abut when the rods are in line and the top raised. The opposite points, where the rods 13 are pivoted to the side rails, h, are connected by a transverse brace-rod, and the hinges g g are similarly connected.
hen the top is turned down, the front transverse rod of the frame H rests upon the brace-rods f between the rods D and E at a height equal to the length of the arms f,which are then vertical, so that the top or canopy h stands out entirely behind the seat in a horizontal position, the arms E being vertical, but outside of the seat.
The upper ends of the brackets c are curved laterally, so as to hook against the arms E when the top is lowered. The device is thus simple and strong of construct-ion, and will turn entirely behind the seat, leaving the same free and unobstructed.
The canopy or top does not fold, and is sup ported both by the arms F and the inner or lower bracerods, f.
Having described this invention, I claim-- 1. The combination, with the vehicle-seat, of the vertical rods provided at their upper 5 ends with the rigid arms F, standing forward at right angles therefrom, the canopy or top having its side rods hinged to the front ends of said arms, and the braces I, each composed of the rods 2' i, hinged at and pivoted, re- :00
as specified.
spectively, upon the lower ends of the vertical rods and upon the side rods of the top or canopy frame, substantially as specified.
2. The combinatio11,vvitl1 the seatBand frame 0, composed of the brackets c c and transverse rods 0, and provided with the outstanding lugs c, of the pivoted vertical rods D, provided at the lower ends with the arms E, catches e, to engage the lugs 0", and at their upper ends with the arms F, the canopy or top frame, H, having its side rods pivoted to the ends of the arms F, and the pivoted braces I, composed of the rods t a", hinged together at i, substantially 3. The combination, with the canopy-frame, I
and is supported horizontally behind the seat, 20
substantially as specified.
- In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ROSWELL KOHN.
