ANDREW CHRISTIAN, on NEW YORK,
' Letters Patent No. 83,363, dated October 27,1868.
IMPROVED FOLDING PERA'MZBULATOR W fl'he schedule referred to in" these Letters Patent and making part of'the same.
To allwhom it may concern Be it known that I, AITDREW Onnrsrmn, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improved Folding Peiambulator; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a partof this specification.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved folding perambulator expanded.
Figure .2 is a similar view, showing it contracted.
Figure 3 is a vertical transverse section of the same,
taken on the plane of the line :0 z, fig. l.
- Figure 4 is a detail side view of the ordinary jointed arm-support.
Similar letters of reference parts.
This invention relates to certain improvements on the folding peramhulator, or childrens carriage, now used in England andthe United States.
The object of the present invention is to simplify the construction of the ordinary folding perambulators, so as to make them cheaper and more easy of access to the public. i v
The invention consists in extending the front and back upright arms or bars to form, respectively, supports for the flout wheels and for the handle,-directly on these said bars.
indicate corresponding The invention also consists in so constructing the jointed arm-supports that the hinges now generally used can be dispensed with, whereby greater strength and cheapness are secured.
A, in the drawing, represents the rear axle of the perambulator, fastened to springs B B, that project from the frame of the perambulator, generally, however, from the horizontal bars 0 of the same.
These bars 0 are pivoted at their-ends to the front and rear upright rods D E, respectively.
The rods or bars D E are in pairs, each pair being connectedby suitable horizontal cross-bars F E,
The pairs of bars D are connected with the bars E by the aforesaid bars 0, by'the lower foot-rest supports G, and by the jointed arm-supports H, all of which are pivoted both to the front bars D and rear bars E, so that the whole apparatus can be easily'folded together, as in fig. 1. 7
The bars E are extended upward, so as to form direct supports for the handleI of the vehicle. Heretofore the handle had to be supported by separate bars or braces.
ect supports for the front axle J, on which the front wheels K are hung or mounted.
The rear or main wheels L are secured to the main or rear axle A.
In the folding perambulator now in use, the front axle is secured to springs or separate bars, which have to be secured to the frame-work.
It will be seen that, by simply extending or prolonging the fi'ont and rear bars of the perambulator, their .whole construction is greatly simplified,and the expense of making them reduced.
Each of the arm-supports H consists of two pieces, a and b. p
The one piece, a, is pivoted to the rear upright E, and extends forward beyond the front upright D. The other pieoe,'b','is pivoted to the upper part of the front bar D, and is, by preference, made of narrow sheetmetal, so that it can fit into a groove formed on the under side of the main bar a, as shown in fig. 3.
The bar b-is pivoted, with its rear end, by means of a pin, '0, to the middle of the bar a, as shown.
This jointed arm-support can be folded and extended, as in figs. 1 and 2, and will in all operate as satisfactory as the ordinary arm-support, which is illustrated in fig. 4, and which is complicated on account of its hinges, and weak and expensive besides.
Having thus described my invention,
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, isp '1. Extending the fi-out uprights D of a'folding perambulator downward, to form supports for the front axle J as set forth. I
2. Extending the rear uprights E of a folding perambulator upward, to form supports for the handle I, as set forth.
3. Constructing thejointed arm-supports H, of a folding perambulator, of two parts, a b, which are pivoted together, as set forth, the narrow part, b, fitting into a groove in the under side of the main part a, as shown.
The above specification of my invention signed by. 'me, this 15th day of June, 1868.
- A. CHRISTIAN.
