MAURICE E. BLOOD, OF KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO THE KALAMAZOO CYCLE COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
CHILDS SEAT OR PARCEL-CARRIER FOR BICYCLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 482,938, dated September 20, 1892.
Application filed October 24,1891. Selial No. 409,661: (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MAURIcE E. BLooD, residing at Kalamazoo, in the county of Kalamazoo and State of Michigan, have invented a new and usefullmprovement in a Childs Seat or Parcel-Carrier for Bicycles, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to providea childs seat of simple construction adapted to Safely carry a child either forward or to the rear of theha'ndle-bar of abicycle,velocipede, or other like vehicle, to provide a seat that shall be elastic and easy fora child to ride in, and to so construct it and arrange the parts that they can quickly be changed in their arrangement to form a carrier for parcels,bun-
dies, and articles of any kind. I attain these objects by the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the carrier as arranged for a child to ride behind the handle-bar. The dotted lines show the carrier as set for the child forward of the handle-bar. Fig. 2 is a top view of the carrier as set for the child behind the handle-bar. Fig. 3 is a top view of the carrier as set for and carrying a package in front of the handlebar. Fig. 4 is a detail, being a front elevation or view showing a section of the carrier where it attaches to the handle-bar and a broken section of the handle-bar and handlebar post. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail, being a perspective view of the upper side of the upper clip and carriersupport. Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail, being a perspective view of the upper or inner side of the lower clip. Fig. 7 is a detail, being a perspective view of the adjustable brace to the handle-bar post. Fig. 8 is an enlarged detail of the cord, hooks, or retainers and the manner of attaching them to the wire or sides of the carrier. Fig. 9 is a detail, being a front view or elevation of the foot-rest and broken parts of the rod and cords that support it.
Awhole bicycle is not shown in the drawings, only enough-viz., a broken section of the handle-bar and handle-bar post, to which the invention is attached-to show the relation of the carrier to the bicycle.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The handle-bar post is designated by the the letter A and the handle-bar by B.
The upper clip and carrier-support C can I be made out of metal, either cast or stamped out, having a concaved part a on its lower side or face near one end to receive the handle-bar of a bicycle. It is then made to have a part b projecting forward from the handlebar and a wire-supporting part c c and d d to extend at nearly right angles to the part b to come nearly in front of the handle-bar post to support the carrier as nearly as possible over the center of the bicycle. The parts 0 c and (Z (Z are made in the form of cross-bars running parallel with the handlebar, and are connected together at their outer ends by means of another cross-bar e, which runs at nearly right angles to the handle-bar. The upper cross-bars c c are elevated or raised above the lower bars (I (Z enough to receive the wires of the carrier-frame D between them.
D is a frame for supporting the seat and bundle-receptacle, and is preferably made of spring wire or rod and of an elliptical form, except at its forward ends, which are made to come nearly together at a point near the center of one of the long sides of the ellipse. At this point the ends of the wire or rod D are bent to project outwardly from the elliptical part to be inserted between the crossbars 0 c and d d. The outer parts or sides of these projecting ends of the wire or rodD should rest against the parts 1) and e of the clip or support C, and the wire or rod D should be so formed that when free or in a normal state the ends will spring apart from each other, thereby producing a spring-ten sion against the side parts I) and e to hold the wire D in place and keep it from rattling. The extreme ends of the wire or rod D can be curved around outwardly to form the hooks ff, which hooks will come in the proper position to hook around the ends or corners of the side parts I) and e to prevent the wire D from withdrawing or coming out from the cross-bars c c and cl cl.
The lower clip E can be made of cast or stamped metal and of a form on its upper side or face to nearly correspond with the lower face of the upper clip C, having near one end of said face a concaved part h to receive the handle-bar B and near the opposite end of same face a groove 9 across it to receive the upper end of the rod H, which carries the footrest I. The clips OandEhave suitable holes near the central part of each to correspond with each other to receive the bolt G. To secure the clips (J and E to the handle-bar B, they are placed to have the handle-bar come in between them in the concave parts a and h. The boltGis then put in position through the holes in the clips and screwed upto draw the clips together and tighten them upon the handle-bar Band the rod H. When the rod H is not used, the end 9 of the lower clip E will come against thelower face of the clip 0. In this manner there will be two places of contact for the lower clip E, one at the end 9' and the other at the opposite end against the handle-bar, while the bolt comes between the two, thereby forming a clip to embrace the handle-bar and a brace to support the carrier.
The carrier is further braced and held in position to keep it from turning on the handle-bar by means of the adjustable post-brace F, which is used like a washer on bolt G to bolt onto the lower side of the lower clip E. It is prevented from turning around on the bolt by means of thelugsvlt' on its upper face, which are made to fit and slide along lengthwise in a groove in the lower side or face of the lower clip E, the said groove being made to run lengthwise of the clip E, and the hole j in the post-brace F, being elongated, will permit the adjustment of the post-brace F to the lower clip E, so that the carrier can always be set at a proper level, the point of contact of the post-brace F to the post A being the fingers k k, projecting from one side of the post-brace, one of which comes on each side of the post A to hold the carrier from turning on the handle-Darin either direction.
The foot-rest-supporting rod H is made to hang down from the carrier, having on its lower end the foot-rest I and having its upper part bent at right angles to fit in the groove 9 of the clip E to come between the clipsCandEand be held securely there when the bolt G is tightened up. In this manner the lower end of the rod H and foot-rest can be swung forward or backward and adjusted to fit the childs seat, whether in front or at the rear of the handle-bar. The cords or connections Z Z can also be used to assist in holding the foot rest I in place, as they are shown in the dotted lines in Fig. 1. These cords or connections are secured to the foot-rests at their lower ends and to the Wire or rod D at their upper ends, or in any other suitable manner.
The foot-rest I is a cross-piece on the rod H, having a hole near its center to receive the rod II and a set-screw m to screw up against the rod H to hold it in place. In this manner the foot-rest can be adjusted up and down on the rod H to suit the position of the childs feet, and the cords or connections 1 Z can be lengthened or shortened accordingly.
The carrier-receptacle J is made of netting, and in that respect similar to the receptacles shown in my United States Patents No.446,748, dated February 17, 1891,and No. 453,311, dated June 2,1891; but it might be made of cloth, leather, or other like material. As a childs seat this receptacle is used as a hammock for the child to sit in. The endless cord L runs through the meshes or loops around the edges of the net or bag receptacle. This not or bag is then drawn over the wire frame D, bringing the elliptical part of the wire inside of the bag, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The wire hooks K K K K, which are secured to the wire frame D in any suitable manner at positions substantially as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, are adapted to receive the cord L when so desired and hold the cord L in the proper positions in relation to the frame D.
As a bundle-receptacle the cord L can be used, as shown in Fig. 3, as released fromtwo of the hooks K K, and a loop n of the cord L pulled through and away from the net or bag, thereby closing up the opening of the net or bag much or little, as may be desired, according to the articles to be carried. In this manner the net or bag will form a receptacle to carry articles in and also a cover to protect the articles or to prevent them from jumping out.
The loop a and that part of the cord L which is drawn from the net or bag can be wound around the cleat-barc', which is formed with projecting ends for this purpose. A bundle-carrier could also be made by dispensing with the cord L and in its stead running the wire D through the meshes of the net; but in this manner the opening to the bag would always be the same.
To use for a childs carrier, the cord L is first arranged in all the hooks K K K K. Then if the carrier is behind the handle-bar the forward part of the cord L between the two forward hooks K K is depressed to form whatwould be substantially a swing for the child to sit in, as shown in Fig. 1. The
weight of the child on this part of the cord L will draw the upper part of the cord taut, and thereby,with the assistance of the hooks K K K K, prevent the net or bag from drawing down over the wire D. When the child is to be carried in front of the handle-bar, the wire frame D is Withdrawn from the clip 0 and placed in the same clip from the forward side, when it will be in the position shown in Fig. 3 and dotted lines of Fig. 1. Again, the cord L will be depressed between the two forward hooks K K, which are the hooks that come to the back of the seat when the carrier is set behind the handle-bar to form the swing again there for the child to sit in; or if it were desirable to have the child face to the rear the part of the cord between the two rear hooks K K could be depressed and the child made to face that way.
devices.
In any of these positions the child sits inside of the elliptical frame D, the net forming, the hammock or seat to sit in and the cord L operating as a swing and support for the edges of the bag or hammock-seat, and the foot-rest I can be made to come in the proper positions to support the childs feet, as before stated.
The frame D might be made in some other form-as, for instance, round, with nearly equal diameters each way or with square corners; but I prefer to make it more of an oval or elliptical shape, substantially as shown, when used for a device of this kind.
If so desired, a board or device of some other material could be made to fit into the bottom of the childs seat to make it flat and operate as a board in a swing to spread the upright cords apart.
I am aware that childrens carriers have been made before adapted to be converted into bundle-carriers, and I do not claim this feature broadly. I am also aware that clips have been made to clamp the handle-bar; but they have usually been made with the bearing on the handle-bar alone and a bolt on each side of the bar, or in the form of a horseshoe, with a single bolt at the ends of the clips beyond the bearing, and I do not claim these I use the device I have shown because it is simple, effectual, and adapted to fit any size of handle-bar, and serves as a brace on the under side of the carrier-frame. These clips can also be made ofspring metal of one piece bent around or joined together at their ends opposite the handle-bar, while the bolt is intermediate between this end and the handle-bar, the same as shown.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A childs seat or carrier forbicycles, having a seat part for the child to. sit on, footrests or supports for the childs feet, and armrests or supports for the arms, the said parts adapted to be attached to abicycle and made adjustable in such a manner that they can be set to carry the child either in front or behind the handle-bar, substantially as shown.
2. A childs seat for bicycles or other like vehicles, consisting of a frame attached to the bicycle and a net or bag hanging down from such frame for the child to sit in, the said net or bag having its outer edges on three sides secured to the said frame, while the edge of the net or bag on the fourth side is separate from the frame and depressed to near the level of the seat part,substantially as and for the purposes specified.
3. A childs seat for bicycles or other like vehicles, consisting of a frame attached to the bicycle and ahammock or swinging seathanging down from such frame, which is adapted to swing independent of the frame, said hammock or seat so arranged that the child can sit squarely in it while its feet are hanging over one side, substantially as shown.
4. A childs seat for bicycles or other like vehicles, consisting of a circular and horizontally-projecting frame to encircle the body of the child and form arm-rests for the child and cords hanging down from the said frame to support the seat and child, the seat and child being free to swing independent of the said frame, substantially as specified.
