FRANCIS N. VANIER, OF AMESBURY, MASSACHUSETTS.
TWO-SEATED CARRIAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.463,180, dated November 17, 1891. Application filed June 6, 1891. Serial No. 395,322. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCIS N. VANIER, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain,-residing in Amesbury, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Two-Seated Garriages, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to two-seated car riages or wagons which are provided with doors on the sides for admission to and egress from the rear seat; and it consists in the means below described, whereby the opening of one of the side doors will cause the front seat on that side to swing forward, thus providing ample room on that side for the occupant of the rear seat to pass out between the rear seat, which remains stationary, and the front seat, which is swung forward out of the way.
In the accompanying drawings, in which similarletters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 isa side elevation of a two-seated carriage embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal vertical section of the same, the position of the front seat when swung forward being indicated by broken lines. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line as, Fig. 1, one of the front seats being represented as tipped forward.
A A A A represent, respectively, the floor, sides, tail-gate, and dash-board of the carriage.
B B are the doors, and C is the rear seat, all constructed substantially as usual.
D is a horizontal cross-piece supported by the frame D and situated beneath the front seats.
E E are the two front seats supported by the cross-piece D and each hinged thereto at 6. Each of these front seats E is connected with the door B on the same side by means of a connecting-rod H, the ends of the rod being loosely attached to the door and seat by means of eyes h h or equivalent mechanical devices. The rods are connected with the under side of the seat at a point in front of its fulcrun1 t. e., in front of the cross-piece D-and with the inner side of the door near its lower edge, so that said rod extends diagonally from the seat to the door. As will readily be seen, opening the door swings the front seat on that side up and forward into the position shown in broken lines, Fig. 2, and in full'lines, Fig. 3. This leaves a wide passage out between the seats on that side of the carriage. Closing the door restoresthe seat on that side to its normal horizontal position.
As a means of securing additional strength, I prefer to secure to the under side of each front seat the curved rod J of substantially the shape shown, said rod being bolted at each end to said seat. This rod extends through an eye K, secured to the under side of the crossbar D, and close behind vthe eye the rod is provided with a shoulder J. Thus it will be seen that when the seat is restored to its normal position by the closing of the door the shoulder J is brought up against the eye K, preventing the seat from dropping any farther.
Having thus fully described my invention,
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is 1. In a two-seated carriage provided with doors at the sides between the seats, thecombination of the door B, the front seatE, hinged at its under side to the cross-bar D, and the connecting-rod H, secured at one end to the door and at the other end to the seat in front of the crossbar, whereby the opening of the door causes the said seat tov swing forward, substantially as set forth.
2. In a two-seated carriage provided with doors at the sides between the seats, the combination of a front seat pivoted at its under side to the carriage, aswinging door in the side of the carriage, and a connecting mechanism whereby the opening of the door swings the said seat forward toward the dash-board and the closing of the door swings it back into its normal position, substantially as described:
The combination, with the pivoted seat- E and mechanism for operating the same, of the curved rod J, provided with the shoulder J, and the eye K, secured to the cross-bar D, substantially asset forth.
FRANCIS N. VANIER.
