FRED. BORNEMANN, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
CHILDS FOLDING CARRIAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 450,362, dated April 14, 1891.
Application filed September 19, 1890. Serial No. 365,555. (No model.)
.To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRED. BORNEMANN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented an Improvement in Childrens Folding Carriages; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention relates to that class of childrens carriages which are adapted to be folded into small compass for easytransportation and to be expanded again for use.
My invention consists in the novel constructions and arrangements of parts hereinafter fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple carriage of this class adapted to be readily folded and unfolded, and which, when expanded for use, will be stiff and rigid enough for all purposes and when folded will occupy but small space, whereby it may be readily carried about.
Referring to the accompanying drawings for a more complete explanation of my invention, Figure 1 isa perspective view of my carriage, showing it open. Fig. 2 is a detail of the back frame and adjustable head-piece. Fig. 3 is a View of my carriage, showing it folded.
A are the side frames of the carriage, made up of suitable horizontal and cross bars. 13 are the floor-frames, made up of similar bars.
hinges a to the lower bars of the side frames, and they are hinged together at their inner or adjacent sides by the hinges b. The hinges a are so arranged as to permit the floor-frames to fold inwardly and upwardly between the 5 side frames, and the hinges bare so arranged 1 as to permit the upward folding of the adjacent ends of the floor-frames. C are the seat-frames.
j aeent edges by the hinges c, and these hinges a and c are so arranged as to permit the in ward and upward folding of the seat-frames between the side frames and the upward foldin g of said, seat-frames at their adjacent edges similarly to the folding of the floor-frames.
D are the seat-front frames. These are hinged by the hinges d to the forward edges of the seat-frames, whereby the said front frames maybe turned from avertical position, in which they extend downwardly from the seat to the floor-frames, to a horizontal position, in which they extend forwardly from and in the horizontal plane of the seat-frames. These front frames are also hinged together by th e hinges d at their adjacent edges, whereby said frames may bend upwardly, when in a horizontal position, in a like manner as the seat-frames bend upwardly. It will now be seen that the entire frame of the carriage is jointed-in its longitudinal center, whereby it may fold on said line.
E is the back frame, hinged to the upper rear end of one of the side frames by the hinges e and having'on its other end slots 6', which engage catches on the upper end of the other side frame. This back frame is therefore adapted to extend across between the two side frames and when relieved of the catches to be turned inwardly upon its hinges between the side frames.
F are the forward wheels, and G are the rear wheels. The forward wheels are carried by the lower ends of arms f, which extend upwardly and are pivoted at f to the front of the said frames. The rear wheels are carried bythe lower .ends of arms g, which are pivotedat their upper ends at the points g to the rear ends of the side frames, and these These are hinged at their outer ends by the arms 9 areso bent outwardly as to carry their wheels into planes beyond the planes of the forward wheels, whereby said wheels in turning to a closed position do not interfere with one another.
The pivoted arms f and g of the wheels are locked in an operative position by means of guides H, into which one edge of said arms 1 fits, said guides being carried by the lower These are hinged i at their outer ends to the side frames by hinges 1 a, and they are hinged together at their adbars of the side frames at their forward and rear ends, and they are held in these guides by means of the stop -lugs I, which are carried by and project from the outer sides of the floor-frames, and which, when the floorframes are horizontal, extend outwardly and bear against the other edges of said arms for ward and back, as shown.
J is an adjustable head-piece, preferably as described.
upholstered, as shown. This head-piece is hinged at its lower end to the back frame and is adapted to engage catches j with its upper end. Limiting-chains j adjustabl'y connect the upper end of the head-piece with the upper end of the back frame, so that-said 3i different lengths of legs of the children,
an adjustable frame may be used. K is this adjustable foot-frame, consisting of two frames centrally hinged by hinges lo, so as to bend upwardly. The outer edges of these foot-frames are connected with the outeredges of the side frames by means of hinges L, the pintles Z of which are removablaso that said foot-frame, when raised to a higher position, may be held at its rear ends and hinged in this position by the pintles passing through the half of the hinge carried by the foot frames into any of a vertical series of holes x in the ends of the front-board frame. The forward ends of the foot-frames are hinged to the forward ends of the side frames 1n any vertical position by means of eyes or holes 00' on said foot-frames fitting over any of a vertical series of hooks x on the side frames.
To understand 1 the operation of the carriage, We will suppose that it is in an expanded condition ready for use. Now to foldit we close up the upholstered head-piece onto the back frame. We then release the back frame from its catches and turn it inwardly between the side'frames. Wethen' raise the seat-front frames to'a horizontal position; but before this is done, if the fo'ot frames K are present and are in an elevated position they are released and 'dropped'down onto the floor-frames, to which they are hinged, Now the whole carriage is bent at its longitudinal'center, its several frames ben din g upwardlyand approaching eachother until they all lie substantially parallel in vertical planes and against one another, the'several hinges permitting this folding. The folding of the floor-frames removes the stop-lugs I from the pivoted carrying arms of the wheels, and the forward wheels are now turned backwardly and upwardly, their arms moving downwardly to proper position, their arms passing into the guides H on the side frames.
The floor-frames are then bent to a horizontal i position, whereby their stop-lugsI come in 1 behind the edges of the arms, and solock them, holding the wheels positively rigid. The seat-frames are bent horizontally.-
to rest upon and stiffen the floor-frames, and the back frame is then turned between the The I 5 seat-front frames are'bent downwardly,'so as Itlairn'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is V 7 1. In a" folding carriage, the combination of the side frames, the divided and hinged floor-frames, the divided and hinged seatframes; andhinges'connecting the outer ends of said floor and seat frames with the side frames, whereby they may be folded together, substantially as herein" described. I 2.
