FOLDING GO-CART.

CHARLES H. SMITH, Ol ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.
FOLDING GO-CART.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 19, 1908.
Application filed April 27, 1906. Serial No. 313,913.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at .ltochford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois. have invented. certain new and useful. Improvements in Folding Go- Qarts, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to folding go-carts or baby carriages, and one of its objects is the. production of such a carriage which shall be reducible to very small compass.
Another object of the invention is the simplification of folding carriage construction with a view to lightness, cheapness, and ease of manipulation.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a folding go-cart embodying the features of my invention. Fig. .3 is a detail view of one of the Wheelcarrying brackets and the means for locking it in operative. position. Fig. 2-} is a detail view of said wheel-bracket locking-means.
In the construction of a go-cart embodying the features of this invention I form an integral supporting framework out of a rod. or wire of suitable gage, said framework comprising a, carriage bed consisting of the base bars 1 and thelower end bar 2 connccting said base bars together, and a seat-- support consisting of the side bars 3 and the upper end bar4 uniting said side bars. The carriage bed and the seat support are flexibly connected together at their forward ends by reason of their being formed integral as hereinbefore stated. Being formed of resilient material, the carriage framework may be folded or collapsed by drawing the (:'11'*(Il.(lS of the carriage bed and the seat support together. A hook 5 adapted to engage the end, bar 4 is pivotally mounted upon the end bar. 2 forlocking the frame in the folded position.
The wheels 6 are of any desired construction, each being rotatably mounted upon a stub shaft 7 carried by a bracket 8. The brackets 8 are slidably mounted upon the base bars 1, each bracket comprising two diverging arms provided at their. upper ends with sleeves 9 and 10 adapted tosurround the base bar. In one end of the 9 of each of the wheehbrackets are formed two locking grooves'll and 12, said grooves extending at right angles to each other and being adapted to receive a locking pin 13 fixed in the base bar 1. A coiled'sprmg 14 surrounding the base bar 1 and extending between the pin 13 and the sleeve 10 of the rear wheel-bracket 8 tends to move said wheel-bracket 8 in the direction to place the pin 13 in one of the locking grooves 11 and 12. The two wheel-brackets 8 on each-side of the carriage bed are connected to move together by means of a rod 15 secured to said brackets in any suitable way, as by bending the ends of said rod about the stub shafts 7.
A seat 16, of any referred construction, is attached to the si e bars 3. Said seat is herein represented as formed of canvas 01' any other suitable i'naterial. A foot rest 17, which also may be of canvas, is attached to the base bar .1 in proper position with relation to the seat 16. A handle 18 is pivotally connected to the upper end bar 4, said handle being formed of an integral piece of wire or rod, the end portions of which wire are wrapped about the end bar 4 to form pivotal bearin s 19 for the handle, and the extreme ends 0 the bar being bent to underlie the side Y said brackets formed by coiling about said hook'the middle portion of said bar. i
r The carriage is folded by sliding the wheelbrackets 8 forward, against the force of the s irings 14, until the-sleeves 9 have been with? irawn from the locking pins, 13, when the brackets 8 may be swung inward to a position at right angles to the operative position. When the brackets 8 are released the springs 14 move the sleeves 9 into locking engagement with the pins 13, said )ins enterin the grooves 12. The framewor is then fo (led by drawing the seat support and the carriage bed together and locking them in such position by means of the hook 5, and the handle 18 is tilted upward over upon the side bars 3. It is apparent that various changes may be made in the construction and arrangement in bars and a seat support comprising two side of the parts herein shown and described. I therefore desire not to limit myself" to the precise details herein set forch.
I claim as my invention:
5 1.. Anintegral foldin r go-cart frame consisting of a carriage bed and a seat supportboth formed from a single length of wire.
2uAn integral folding go-cart frame consisting of a carriage bed comprising two base bars, .theside bar andthe base bar at each side ofthe cart being connected together atone end, the parts connecting said bars being resilient, said pair of bars being foldable to- ]5 ward and into a .position relatively'near each.

23 4. In a folding go-cart, in combination, a supporting framework comprising base bars; wheel-supportin members rotatabl mounted on said base bars; means for Ice 'ng said wheel-supporting members in position; and
means for moving said wheel-supporting members to unlock them.
5. .In a folding go-cart,, in combination, a supporting framework comprising two base Y bars a plurality of wheel-supporting members rotatably mounted on each of said base bars; means for connecting the wheel-supporting members on eachha'se bar to move vtogether;-'n 1eans for locking said wheel-supporting members in position; and means for 40 connecting the wheel-supporting members on both base bars to move together.
6. In a folding go-cart, in combination, a base bar; a wheel-supporting member comprising a sleeve rotatably mounted on said base bar; said sleeve having two locking grooves, therein; a locking pin on said-base bar adapted to enter said grooves and a springtending to bring said sleeve and said pin into engagement.
