SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 404,101, dated May 28, 1889.
Application filed March 14,1889. Serial No. 303,248. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.- Q
Be it known that I, ALONZO J MCMASTER,
' a citizen of the United States, residing at Lookport, in the county of Niagara and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Camping Cars or Carriages and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part of this my specification of said invention.
My invention consists of a camping-carriage the constituent parts of which are so constructed, combined, and arranged that all the furniture, bedding, and kitchen requirements for camping purposes are supplied in the most compact form, and the carriage capable of use at pleasure either as a sitting-room, bed-room, or kitchen.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my camping-carriage equipped and ready for use. Fig. 2 is a detail front view, in perspective, of the carriagebody, showing the drivers seat turned down upon its hinges, exposing an oil-stove to view. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a slop-bucket and its suspending mechanism. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the inner front corners of the carriage, showing doors opening into the oil-stove chamber and into awardrobe, and an ice-chamber with waste-pipe, and a tank for drinking-water. Fi 5 is a rear view of the wardrobe-door provided with folding table-legs. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of atop or follower plate provided in the ice-box proper. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the inher front corner of the carriage opposite the ice-chamber, showing a water-tank basin with spigot, drawer, and a portion of the upholstored seat. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the seat and its back, the latter in position for use as a berth and provided with a safeguard. Fig.9 is a transverse vertical section of the basin shown in Fig. 7 and of a privyseat and trap-door below. Fig. 10 is a horizontal section below the said basin and through the walls and door of the privy-chamber. Fig. 11 is a linear sketch of the carriageseat and upper berth with guard and fastening. Fig. 12 isa modified construction of the safeguard of the upper berth. Fig. 13 is a perspective view of the carriage-body provided with a fly or canvas protection, and Fig. 5 5
14 is a linear plan view of the inner carriage room and fixtures.
The letter A in the drawings represents the carriage-body, and B the wheels. A drivers seat, 0, is provided at the front of the carriage, having a dash and foot board, 0, a seat box, 0', and a seat proper, 0 attached to the box by means of hinges, 0 so that the seat proper can be turned over forward in order to expose a coal-oil stove, 0 located in and securely fastened to the seat-box c. This oilstove can be reached through two doors, 0, in the front wall, a, of the carriage, so that a person in the carriage can easily attend to it. The top 0 of the box 0 is provided with openin gs 0 through which the heat of the oil-stove passes in order to heat whatever pots or pans are placed above for cooking purposes. Such operations are generally performed within the carriage through two hinged windows, 0 in the front wall of the carriage; but the stove can also be easily removed from the box 0 through the doors 0 and used outside the camp-wagon; or it may be moved on rollers or slides upon the floor, or upon rails or in grooves into the interior of the carriage, and there provided with the necessary guards, in order to use it for a warming-stove in cold weather.
The two inner corners at the front wall are occupied by an ice-chamber, D, and washbasin E. The ice-chamber is provided with a metallic ice-box, (Z, and a top and follower, cl, having upright corner-bearings d with ball rollers (1 which latter roll along the inner corners of the ice-box cl, and, being arranged in pairs, as shown in Fig. 6, keep the followerplate in a level position while descending upon and with the melting ice.
On top of the ice-chamber a tank, (1 for drinking-water, with a spigot, (1 is provided, and a water-pipe, (1, arranged below said spigot, conveys the waste water down through the floor of the carriage to the ground below.
-An opening, (F, in the front wall of the carriage serves to facilitate the filling of the tank from the outside. Next to the ice-chamber D a wardrobe, F, with a door, f, is provided, the door f being removable from its hinges f, and having two pairs of ordinary folding legs, f f attached to its inner side, as shown in Fig. 5, by means of which said door, when removed from its hinges, may be put upon its unfolded legs and used for a table. Between the wardrobe F and the rear wall of the carriage a seat, G, is provided, which is long enough for a full-grown person to lie upon conveniently for rest. Along the side wall, a, of the carriage an upholstered framed back, H, is provided for the convenience of persons using the seat G. The up; per end portions of the back H are hung by means of diagonally-arranged links 71 to the carriage, and are thus held in upright position with a thrusting action against the backs. When it is desired to move the back out of the way, it is turned up against the side wall of the carriage, and the links it will form its lower support, while an ordinary bolt, h, at each of the now elevated end portions will steady it in its position. When a sleepingberth is desired above the seat G, the back H is turned into a horizontal position and fastened by means of the said bolts to the carriage, the diagonally-arranged hinged of the carriage by means of cords or links if, the latter serving as bearers of a side slat, k or net-ting h whereby to prevent the inmate of the berth from falling out.
diagonal axis, so that when turned up it will move away from the side wall of the carriage, which is thus secured against scraping. A tank, a is placed upon the platform jg and against the front wall, a, of the carriage, which is there provided with an opening, 6 in order to facilitate the filling of the tank from the outside. This tank is, by means of a flexible pipe, 6 connected with a spigot, e, at the side of the basin E, which by this means is provided with the necessary water. Below the basin E, at a suitable elevation above the carriage-floor, is a privy-seat, I,
which is closed by a vertically-hinged door,
2'. The door t'is hung between the trapdoor. E and privy-seat I, and it opens and swings '5 against the carriage-floor, and held there by fastening said cord to a button, i on the door 2'. Below the trap-door 1." a bucket, K, is hung to the carriage-floor, wherein the slop passing through a hole, a in the carriage-floor is received. The bail 7c of the bucket K is provided with two open loops, 7a, which stand at right angles to the bail, and thus, when said loops are inserted into two eyebolts, k fastened to the carriage-floor, the weight of the bucket will cause the bail to be turned down against the side of the bucket, while by raising the bail the loops 7t will slip out of the eyebolts k and in stantly disengage the bucket from the same. These loops k are attached to eyebolts k of the bucket K, and by this construction the bucket can be suspended very closely to the carriage-floor, and not only will the bail be kept out of the way of the inflowing slop, but the bucket is also prevented from swinging about and splashing its contents while the wagon is moving; and, if desired, the bail K can be held in its position shown in Fig. 3 by a proper catch applied to the bucket.
The drawer-chest J contains a number of drawers, 7' for the safe keeping of shoes and other articles of wear and of general use.
A partition-wall, i separates the basin and privy from a seat, G, and back H along the carriage side wall a, which seat and back are exact counterparts to those above described along the opposite side wall a. The side walls, a a are, provided with windows a? a above the seat-backs H, and with windows a Opposite the ice-chamber D a wash-basin,
I E, is provided in a trap-door, e, which is 1 hinged to a platform, j, of a drawer-chest, J, by means of hinges e arranged in a slightly in the rear wall, a and the door a", through which door steps a facilitate an entrance into the vehicle.
Below the front portion of the carriage a tool-box, L, and an oil-reservoir, M, are fastened, and below the remaining portion of the carriage, on the side opposite the bucket K, a ladder, N, is. suspended by means of hangers n and pins 71'. This ladder, so suspended, will serve for stowing upon it harness, ropes, tents, and a fly or canopy. The tool-boxL is so fastened to the carriage that there is easy access to'its contents-such as saws, axes,
wrenches, hammers and nails, &c.eful in case of breakage of the vehicle and other purposes. The oil-tank M will be so fastened to the fioor of the carriage by means of adjusting screw-bolts and iron bands that it can be easily removed for the purpose of refilling.
While camping the ladder N will serve as a cot for the driver who has charge of the camping-carriage at night.
The fly or canopy 0 will be used over the camping-carriage in hot or rainy weather as a protection for the more exposed parts of the carriage-body, and as a comfort to the inmates. The canopy O is stretched over diagonal stays 0, hooked into .eyeso', provided on the carriage-body and held in position by guyropes 0 which are fastened to hooks 0 on the carriage-body. Suitable drawers, g, may
also be provided under the seats G, to contain either fishing-tackle or additional household articles not mentioned above.
WhatI claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a camping-carriage, the combination of the swinging basin E, privy-seat I, and privy-door i, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a camping-carriage, the combination of the drivers seat 0 hinged at 0 seat-box c, oil-stove 0 windows a, and doors a, substantially as and for the purpose described.
