BABYCARRlAGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 472,714, dated April 12,1892,
Application filed October 13, 1891 Serial No. 408,601. (No model.)
To all whom itl may concern.:
Be it known that I, DAVlD REES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of VPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baby-Carriages; and` I do herebyT declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,
such as will enable Vothers skilled in the art to` described, and particularly pointed outin the subjoined claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved carriage, which is constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, showing one side and the ends partly folded. Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of the body ofthe carriage, showing the hingedl ends and seat. Fig. 4 is a plan view of one of the latches used at various points on the carriage. Fig.` 5 is an end elevation of one of the hinged joints of the axle.
To construct ababy-carriage in accordance with my invention, I provide four Wheels l of a suitable size and form of construction and journal the same to horizontal ends 2 of short verticallyaarranged pieces 2. Each of these pieces 2 is pivoted by means of a rivet 3 to the junction of vertical and horizontal crossbars 4, which connect the two sets of wheels together. These cross-bars 4 are joined together by two rods l9,extending in the direction of the length of the carriage, thereby forming the frame of the carriage. The
wheels of the carriage may therefore be folded to occupy a horizontal position partly beneath the body of the carriage without necessitating removal of the wheels from the axles or disconnection thereof from the frame, and when folded lie closely against the under side of the cross-bars 4, so as not to occupy any unnecessary space, or they may be held in a vert-ical position by means of a small sliding sleeve 5, placed over each ofthe several pieces 2, as shown at Figs. 2 and 5 on the drawings. 6 designate springs, which are arranged one -at each cornerof the carriage. Each of said springs is pivotally secured at its lower end tot-he top of one of the pieces 4, extends thence downward ashort distance, and is bent around in the arc of a circle and thence up to a point about midway the height `of the body, where fit is bent outward and inward to forni an outwardly-extending coil, from which it extends toward the body, being pivoted to the end of one of the sides v7 thereof. These springs give the body the requisite elasticity, and as they are pivoted to the frame and the body at their respective ends' they'are capable of as- -`suming a horizontal position, and therefore will notinterfere with the folding of said body.
- The body of this carriage consists of the base 8, having the sides 7 hinged thereto and capable of being folded inwardly. The ends 9 of the carriage are also hinged to the base 8 and will also fold inwardly, and a hinged joint formed in the handleV will permit the same to be folded toward the front of the carriage, or the said handle may be made rigid ,by means of sliding sleeves operated in the saine manner as those 5 before described. Suitable latches 14, arranged at each inner end of the two side pieces 7, serve to hold the ends 9 and 2O in an ,uprightpositiou The seat-board 10 is hinged to the inner side of the rear end piece 9 and braced by a linked bar or rod 15 in a manner that the same may be revolved upward and made to occupy a position close to the inner side of the end piece 9.
By this construction of a baby-carriage the same may be folded to form but a small package, which will be found useful when shipping or storing the same, and will avoid the necessity of dismantling the carriage.k
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
l. The herein-described folding carriage,
comprising the body having inwardly-folding side and end pieces, means for holding the same in vertical position,a folding seat With- IOO in said body, the carriage frame, wheels, and springs connecting said frame and body,said springs being pivoted at their lower ends to said frame, extending thence downward a short distance around and up toa point about midway the height of said body, and formed at the top with outwardly-extending eoils and pivoted at their upper extremities to the ends of the side pieces, whereby they are Capable of assuming a horizontal position, so as io not interfere with the folding of the side pieces, substantially as described.
2. In a folding carriage, the Combination, with the wheels, of vertical pieces 2, having' horizontal portions at their lower ends, to which latter said wheels are journaled, and
the vertical and horizontal pieces 4, connected together at ltheir ends and having pivoted to them at their points of junction the pieces 2, whereby the same may be folded beneath them and the wheels'will lie closely against their under side,'and sliding sleeves on said vertical pieces 4, adapted to engage the upper ends ot' said pieces 2 and hold the same and the wheels in vertical position.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing-I hereunto afiix my signature this 3d day of OotobeiyA. D. 1891.
