No. 530,449 Patented Dec. 4,1894.

COMBINED CHILD S CARRIAGE AND CRADLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 530,449, dated December 4, 1894.
Application filed April 26, 1894.
To atZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ORA ORR, of Westport, in the county of Mendocino and State of California, have invented a new and useful Oombined Childs Carriage and Cradle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to combine in a single article, a childs carriage and a cradle, in such a manner as to preserve as'far as possible the normal appearance of the carriage, and enable the article to be produced without .involving any material additional cost.
A further object is to enable the article to be readily and conveniently converted into either a carriage or cradle as desired.
The invention consists in the novel features and combinations hereinafter particularly described and defined in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a combined childs carriage and cradle embodying my invention,the carriage body, with the exception of the bottom board thereof, being indicated by dotted lines; the bottom board being in full lines. Fig. 2 is a front end elevation, the push bars being omitted. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the springs. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the bottom board of the body, showing the under side thereof. Fig. 5 is a broken detail view of a portion of thesprings, illustrating the manner of securing the same to the front axle, the hook and its bottom plate being shown in an abnormal position, in the interest of clcarness and Fig. 6 is a similar view illustrating the manner of securing the springs to the rear axle.
In constructing a combined carriage and cradle in accordance with my invention, the body A may be of any suitable design or material, and the bottom board a thereof is socured in any suitable manner to the combined springs and rockers B, which are detachably secured to the running gear 0, the preferred arrangement being in detail as follows: The springsB range longitudinally of the carriage and are formed each of two members I), b, of which the lower one b is curved to act as Serial No. 509,100- (No model.)
upper members of each spring are united by diagonally ranging cross bars B, that are arranged in the form of an X. At the intersection the cross bars B are vertically bored to produce a bolt hole b and the bottom board a of the body is similarly bored, as at a, and any suitable bolt D, or the like is passed through the bottom board and cross bars and serves to secure the body in place on the springs, the bolt being provided in the instance shown with a wing nut 01. The springs thus havea swivel connection with the body. In order that the body normally can have no rotary movement on its securing bolt D, the under surface of the bottom board a is formed with recesses or depressions a and the upper surface of the cross bars B is formed with a corresponding series of projections o that are received in said depressions and hold the body against any movement on its bolt D.
The springs B are formed of band or plate metal having the desired spring action, and the endsare given any suitable ornamental configuration.
The springs with the carriage body held thereto are designed to be detached from the running gear, and to this end the axles O, are each formed with recesses c the bottom walls of which are made to conform to the upward direction of the ends of the bottom members b of each spring B and form seats for said members, as shown clearly in Figs. 5 and 6, and one axle, usually the front one, is provided at such seats with fixed hooks E, that engage the front ends of the members b, the latter being formed with apertures 19 of suit able shape for the purpose. The hooks E, are preferably provided at the bottom ends of their shanks with angular plates e which in practice are snugly received in recesses 0' formed on the under side of the cross axles O and prevent rotary movement of the hooks. The rear axle is provided at the recesses c with bolts E, which pass through the axle and engage at their lower ends with an apertured plate 6' similar to the plates e on the front axle and firmly secured in recesses 0 and said bolts are formed with flattened heads e or equivalent devices, that are adapted to be partially turned to align with elongated slots 1) in the members I) of the springs.
When it is desired to remove the body and its springs from the running gear, the bolts E are partially turned to bring them into register with the slots b and permit the body to be lifted to disengage the springs from the bolt heads 6 after which the springs may be readily disengaged from the hooks E, and entirely removed from the running gear. When thus removed it will be seen the springs may be turned to range transversely of the body, and be held in such position by tightening up the wing nut d. When thus arranged they form efficient rockers for the body A,and by .reason of their long curve and spring action alford an easy and desirable rockingmotion.
It will be understood that I do not limit myself to the hooks E and bolts E, as other devices may be employed in practice, for detachably securing the springs to the running gear.
The above described combined carriage and cradle, it will be seen, involves no material additional expense in its manufacture, does not sacrifice the aesthetic to the utilitarian features, and it affords a desirable article of its class in combining two complete articles in one, and possesses the marked advantage that the infant, should it be asleep in the carriage body when it is desired to adjust the latter in place on the running gear, or remove it therefrom, need not be awakened, but may be lifted with the carriage body without being disturbed.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A combined childs carriage and cradle comprising a running gear, curved springs detachably connected with the running gear, and a body mounted on said springs,and having a swivel connection therewith, whereby the body may be turned at right angles to the springs when used as a cradle and without removing it from said springs, substantially as described.
2. The combination in a combined childs carriage and cradle, of a body provided with combined springs and rockers secured thereto, said springs ranging longitudinally of the body and having each a curved lower member formed with openings,and a running gear having axles provided with recesses formed with bottom walls corresponding to the curved spring members, said axles having hooks and turn buttons projecting up into said recesses and detachably engaging the said spring members, substantially as described.
3. The combinationin a combined childs carriage and cradle, with a body having a bolt hole in its bottom board, and depressions on the under side of said board, around the bolt hole, of springs ranging longitudinally of the body and having cross braces formed with projections fitting the depressions of the bottom board, a pivot bolt securing the springs to the bottom board of the body, and a running gear detachably secured to the springs, the springs having each a longitudinally curved lower member adapted to form rockers when the running gear is detached,
substantially as described.
