Bait knowntha-t I, WARRE IE. .TRQTT, a citizen of the United ,States,:resid=ing in the borough ofBrookly-n, thecounty of Kings,
in the city and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefullm rovements in Folding Cribspof which the -fo lowing is a specification. I p g This invention relates to the class of fold ing cribsfor infants; and the obj eot .is,in part, to provide a crib havi manyccnveniences, but which is capable .o'.:being simply folded up flat without taking it apart. Another object is to supply the crib with a swing-support which may fold with the crib and which enables the latter to swing or rock when set up. The crib also has a support for an awning or netting.
n the accompanying drawings, which illustrate an embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the crib as it appears when set up for use. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the upper part of the frame without the fabric. Fig. 3 is a general view showing the crib folded. Fig. 4 is an end view of the upper part of the frame, and Fig. 5 is a plan view of this part of the frame. Figs. 6 and 7 are enlarged detail views of the hinged end piece of the frame. Figs. 8 and 9 are detail views of pockets in the fabric. Fig. 10 is a detail view of one of the sockets. Figs. 11 and 12 are detail views of the swing-support for the crib.
The folding frame of the crib may be of hard wood. It consists of two pairs of crossed legs 1, connected by bolts 2. The opposite legs of the pairs are connected below by cross braces or ties 3 and at their upper ends by end bars 4. These latter are connected to the legs, Figs. 6 and 7, .by strong hinges 5, and when the crib is set up the ends of the inclined legs abut against the inner faces of the end bars 4. Preferably there will be a cross-brace 6 between the upper ends of the legs of the pair. This is a device for adding steadiness and rigidity to the crib when set u and any similar means for effecting this 0 ject may be employed. In each end bar are set two upri ht posts 7, of suitable length, one near eac end ofeach bar. These form corner-posts on the frame.
The fabric portion of the crib comprises two parts'namely, the bottom 8 and the side or upright portion 9. These may be of any suitable strong fabric, plain or ornamented,
as desired. The side fabric 9 willhave, by preference, pockets 10.=at the corners to receive the posts 7, and these pockets may be formed as indicated in the detail view,lFig. 8,, or as seen in the similar view, Fig. 9.
In order to provide asu pportfor :an awning or netting over the crib, a ratan 1 1, 1., bent to the proper shape :hasji-ts. ends housed above in ,pocketsiat 12 in the'sid e fabric 9. 'Theends of the ratan -extend down and enter :metal sockets 13, mounted on the bolts 2,, as best seen in the detail view Fig. 10.
In order to be able to impart a swinging or rocking movement to'the crib when it is set up, it is provided with means now to be described.
Two like devices (designated as a whole each by the letter S in Figs. 1 and 3,) are employed. Each of these consists of a tie piece or board 14, two uprights 15 on said board, and two cranks or cranked metal rods 16. One wrist or pin of the crank has a bearing at a; in the upright, and the other wrist or pin thereof has a bearing at 'y in a leg 1 of the crib. The crib is thus borne by the cranks and may rock or swing therewith, as will be readily understood. Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate the preferred construction of these parts; but the precise construction is not essential.
Pairs of legs crossed and pivotally connected for folding at the points where the legs cross are too well known in this art to require minute description, and the awning or netting to be thrown over the ratan or other light support 11 has not been shown. It forms no part of the present invention and requires no illustration.
The end bars 4 are connected by strips of strong webbing 17, as seen in Fig. 2 and in some of the detail views. This webbing supports the bottom fabric 8. This latter should be secured along its margins to the side margins of the fabric 9, but not necessarily to the fabric 9 at the ends of the crib. The fabric may be taken off as a Whole.
It will be noted as one important featureof this invention that the fabric 8 and 9 is sanitary and that it can be simply slipped off the posts 7 for washing or for discarding in case of its being used with a patient having a contagious disease. Another important feature is the ability of the crib to fold up, as seen in Fig. 3, without taking it apart or removing any of its parts. The swing devices S may or may not be used. If it is not desired to use them for any reason, they can be swung or turned out of the way and the legs permitted to rest on the floor. They need not be Wholly removed.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. A folding crib, having two pairs of folding, crossed legs, two end bars hinged to the upper ends of the crossed legs of the respective pairs, the upright posts on the respective end bars, and the fabric of the crib, comprising the bottom 8, and the upright side 9, which engages the four upright posts.
2. A folding crib, having two pairs of folding, crossed legs, two end bars hinged to the upper ends of the crossed legs of the respective pairs, the upright posts on the respective end bars,the fabric of the crib, comprising the bottom and the upright side 9, the light support 11, engaging pockets in the side 9,
and sockets 18, which receive the-eirtremities of the said support.
3. Afolding crib, having two pairs of folding, crossed legs, two end bars hinged tothe upper ends of the crossed legs of the respective pairs, the upright posts on the respective end bars, the fabric of the crib, and swinging means for supporting the legs of the crib.
4. A folding crib, having folding, crossed legs, and swinging devices for supporting the legs, each of said devicescomprising two connected uprights, and two cranks mounted to swing in said uprights, the lower wrists or pins of the cranks engaging bearings in the respective legs of the cri In witness whereof I have hereunto, signed my name this 9th-day-of June, 1906, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
