SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 632,671, dated September 5, 1899.
Application iiled May 22j 1.899. Serial No, 717,684. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, LUCY A. BURGHARDT and WILLIAM G. ROGERS, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Denver, in the county of Arapahoe and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohildrens Folding Oarriages; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and igures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Our invention relates to improvements in folding carriages or carts forpchildren, our object being to provide a construction of this class which when not in use may be folded and made to occupy but little space, whereby it may be conveniently carried about in streetcars and vehicles, and which may be quickly unfolded and put in position for use.
Our further object is to provide a folding carriage which shall be simple in construction, comparatively economical in cost, reliable, durable, and efficient in use.
To these ends the invention consists of the features, arrangements, and combinations hereinafter described and claimed, all of which will be fully understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which is illustrated an embodiment thereof.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved folding cart or carriage. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section taken through the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical crosssection taken in front of the wheels, looking rearward. Fig. 4 shows thecarriage in the folded position and on a larger scale. Fig. 5 is a top detail view of the bracket which connects the journal with the body of the carriage, the journal and pivoted brace being also shown.
Similar reference characters indicating corresponding parts in the views, let the numeral 5 designate the body of the carriage, which comprises a bottom part 5, sides 5, hinged to the bottom part, as shown at 6, and the endsV 51 and 5g, also hinged to the bottom part. In the rear bottom part of the carriage is located the seat 7, which is composed of a top 7rh and two ends 7c and 7. The end 7d is hinged to the bottom of the carriage, as shown at 7h. The ends 7c and 7 d are hinged to the top 7, as shown at A and B. The bottom of the end 7c is located between two blocks O, attached to the bottom, and which may be lifted from this position and drawn forward, when the seat by virtueV of its hinged joints will straighten out and lie flat in the bottom of the carriage. This may be considered the first step in folding the body of the carriage.
To each edge of the bottom, near its forward extremity, is pivoted, as shown at 8, a bar 9. These bars embrace and support the sides of the carriage when the latter is in use. To each bar 9 near its rear extremity is pivoted, as shown at 10, a hand-bar 12. The bars 12 are connected at their rear extremities by a cross-bar 13. The two draw-bars 9 and the bars 12 on each side are made practically rigid when in use by means of a keeper 14 slidingly mounted on theV bar 12 and adapted to slip over the rear end of the bar 9, which extends beyond the pivot y10.
The body of the carriage is supported by two wheels mounted on stub-journals 17, which are entirely independent of each other. To each of these journals is rigidly attached a bracket 1S, composed'of two inclined arms 1S, one extending forwardly and the other rearwardly, The lower extremities of these arms merge into a stirrup-shaped socket 18C, in which the portion ofthe journal which is inside the wheel is located. The stirrup of the bracket is rigidly secured to the journal. The upper extremities of the bracket-arms are hooked into the apertured depending ends of metal straps 10, secured to the bottom of the carriage-body in such a manner that the bracket extremities turn freely in the straps to permit the wheel to fold inwardly beneath the body of the carriage when not in use,as shown in Fig. 4.
l/Vhen the carriage is in use, each wheel 15 is held in the operative position by means of a brace 20, whose lower extremity is pivotally attached to the Vjournal 17 between the bracket-arms, its upper extremity terminating in an eye 20a, adapted to slip overa pin 21, attached to the bottom of the carriagebody. This brace holds the wheels in position for use. When, however, it is desired IOO ' are hooked into eyes 24, secured to the bottom of the carriage. The upper extremity of the arm 23 terminates in a horizontal pin 23, whereby the arm is readily detachable from its eye to permit the supporting device to fold forwardly. The lower extremity of thearm 23 is arranged to turn in a clasp or collar 27, surroundin g the lower extremities of the arms 22, whereby when the upper extremity of the arm 23 is detachedthe arm may be swung around to occupy a position parallel with and engaging one of the arms 22. The forward extremities of the carriage sides are each provided with a hook 25, adapted to engage an eye 26 in the front end of the carriage, where by the latter is supported in position for use. ln order to fold the carriagesbody, the hooks are detached from their engaging eyes.
The draw-bar arms 9 are connected at the rear of the carriage-body by a transverse arm 9, which supports the rear end of the carriage in position for use, preventing it from turning backward on its hinges.
In order to fold the carriage to the position shown in Fig. 4, the forward end of the seat 7 is raised from its stop-blocks and pulled forward, causing it to occupy-a flat position in the bottom of the carriage. The ends 5d and 5g are then folded toward each other and laid down parallel. with the bottom 5, after which the sides are folded inwardly and down upon the ends. Each sliding keeper 14 is then moved rearwardly on its bar 12 sufficiently to disengage it from the rear extremity of the bar 9. The handle-bars 12 are then turned upward and forward until the crossbar 13 occupies a position immediately in front of the front end of the carriage. The keepers 14 are then slipped over the forward extremities of the bars 9, which are then dropped to a horizontal position. The upper extremities of the braces 2O are then detached and swung around against one of the bracketarms 1S, allowing the wheels to fold inwardly beneath the bottom of the carriage-body.
The depending extremities of the metal straps 19 are longer on one side of the carriage than on the other in order to allow the wheel on the corresponding side to fold to a horizontal position after the wheel on the opposite side has been folded.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim is- 1. In a cart or carriage, the combination with the body portion, of supporting-wheels adapted to fold inwardly beneath the body of the carriage, draw-bars pivoted tothe carriage-bottom on opposite sides and embrac` ing the sides of .the carriage, two hand-bars pivotally connected with the draw-bars, and movable keepers adapted to lock the drawbars and hand-barstogether, making them longitudinally rigid.
