BABY-CARRIAGE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March Application file-5. May 16. 1907. Serial No. 373.9242.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES E. Losnnoucn,
have invented certain new'and useful Improvements in Baby-Carriages, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in babymarriages.
It relates particularly to improvements in folding baby-carriages, and is especially de signed and adapt-ed for use on the folding baby-carriage shown and described in the application of Otto Kurz,'filed Dec. 20th,
it embodied in such a structure although it applicable for use in various other structures.
The main objects of this invention are, first, to provide an improved baby-carriage in which the wheels are adapted to fold inwardly when the structure is collapsed, and, at thesarne time, one in which the wheels are veryrigidly supported in their erected position; and second, to provide in a babycar-- riage an improved means for holding the parts in their collapsed or folded position.
Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.
I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification.
The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.
A structure embodying the features of my invention. is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a structure embodying the features of my invention, the Wheels on one side being removed; Fig. 2 is a detail View partially in section on. a line c.or responding to line 2-2 of .Fig. 1, the looking or bracing means for the wheel supports only being illustrated; Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail section taken on a line corresponding to line 33 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail section taken on a line corresponding to line 4 4 of Fig. 1, showing the means for holding the parts in their collapsed position;
5 is a. detail side elevation of a structure its collapsed osition, partsbeing broken away to better s ow their form and arrangemerit; and Fig. 6 is a detail side elevation showing the locking means for the lovers 9, the locking means being shown in its disen-- gaged position.
In the drawing, the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the-ends of the section lines, and similar numerals of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring. to the drawing, 1 represents the running gear frame. The handle 2 is pivotally secured at the rear end of the running gear frame by means of the pivots 3. On each of the side bars of the running gear E frame are clip-like hangers 4 for the wheel 1906, Serial No. 348,823, and I have shown i supports 5. A crossqpicce r preferably provided for the side bars of the running gear frame at the rear thorwf; see c. The wheel supports 5 are preferably f\' )l..1\(tl of rods hving downwardly projecting wheel carrying arms 6 which are provided with suitable journals 7 for the wheels. The wheel supjmrts are pivotaliy supported in the hangers, so that they are free to swing therein topermit' the wheels to be folded upon each other under thev running gear frame. The wheel supports 5 are provided with offsets, forming crank-like arms 5, the offsets being preferably inclined downw ardly toward the roar.
Pivoted to the side bars of the running gear by pivots 12, which are located above thearrns 5 of the wheel supports, is-a pair of levers 9, their lower ends projecting downwardly below and preferably on the outside of the arms, clearly apqears from the drawing. On the. lower ends of the levers are loops 1]. adapted to embrace the arms 5 of the wheel supports. When the levers 9 are actuated, these loops engage the cranlo like arms and serve to positively swing the wheel supports in and out to collapse or erect them. The lower ends of the lovers are preferably connected by a suil able cross-piece 10, indicated by dotted lines in Fig. l. The levers 9 are preferably connected. at their up per ends to the handle 2 by means of the lin (s 13, which are adapted to serve as side pieces for the seat, so that by maui pulatiu g the handle, the levers are actuated and thereby the wheelscollapsed or erected. The links are connected to the handle by means of suitable cli s, as 14. 'The lovers are referably loo ed and the structure thereby field in its erectei'liposition by means of the locking bar 21, which is pivoted on the running gear frame at 23, and connected to the levers 9 by means of the links 22. When the locking bar is pushed down into its lower osition in front of the seat, as is shown ini 1, the 7 arts are locked but may be release by liftmg the locking bar to the position shown in Fig. 6.
The seat 19 is supported at its forward end by a suitable cross-piece 20 pivoted on the levers 9 and the link-like members 20 pivotally connected thereto and to the running ear frame. The seat is provided with a ack 24, which is pivoted thereto and adapted to fold over on the seat when the structure is colla sed. The upper end of the seat is supported by a link 25 which is engaged in a suitable loop 26 on theback oi the seat, so that the back may be adjusted. These parts are all preferably substantially such as are illustrated and described in the application for latent hereinbefore referred to.
he wheel supports are braced and rigidly held in their erected or extended position by means of the lever-like braces 15, which are ivoted on the running gear frame at 16, the ower ends of the braces being preferably connected by across-piece or brace 15 9n the wheel-carrying arms 6, I arrange forked clips 17, with which the braces are ada ted to engage when swung down into the position illustrated in Fig. 2, or when thecarriage is in its erected position.- The up er ends of these braces are connected by t e link 18 to the levers" 9, so that, when the carriage 1's erected, the wheel supports are automatically col apsed position see F' parts in their collapsed position, t
engaged b these braces 15. When the carriage is co lapsed, these braces are thrown up into the position shown in Fig. 5. 'By this means, the rear wheel sup orts are braced at ey are very rigid. It is obvious that the rear wheels carry the great art of the load and strain in use.
To old the structure in its collapsedposition, I provide a pair of upwardly-projecting spring catches 27, which are adapted toen-f ga e the links 13, when the structure is in its 5-'-holdin them ho ds the ey may be readily disengaged without the manipulation of the catch.
By arranging m 1 improved looking or bracing mechanism or the wheel supports as I have illustrated, the structure is made very rigid, and the parts are automatically brought into position in erecting the carriage. I have illustrated" and described my improvement in detail in the form referred by me on account of the structura simplicity, and economy. I am, however, aware that it is ca able of considerable'variation in structura details without departingfrom my invention.
