This invention relates toimprovements in 'perambulators and baby carriages with more particular reference to baby carriages, collapsible about alongitudinal axis, in which the sides of the carriageare brought close together.
An object of the invention is to provide a more robust construction'of this type of-l folding baby carriage than has hitherto-been known while yet enabling the carriage tobeeasily collapsed so that the sides are brought close together, and further to provide a simplemeans of effectively locking the carriage in its collapsed: state.
Ajfurther object of the invention'is to provide a readily detachable hood assembly, which. may, neverthelessJ-be collapsed in-situ together with thexoarriage. 1
According .to the" present invention a folding wheeledfchilds carriage comprises in combina tiona..pair of wrigid \skel'etonside frames,-arm
rests on: said frames, 2. flexibleseat fitted-tosaid arm rests: and dependent therefrom, transverse zdiagonal .strutsfixedly pivoted to the side frames at their lower ends :and slidablypivoted to the side .frames at their upper ends, longitudinal rods interconnectingzthe upper. ends of the struts and' passing through the seat, longitudinal diagonal gu'ide' members secured to the side frames, a control handle, and a pair of arms depending from said control handle and slidable in said guide members to lock the carriage in the collapsed position.
The invention-willbe further described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevationofa collapsible baby carriage, I
Fig. 2.is a plan view ,withthe hood removed,
Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section on the line 33 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 4 is a rear end elevation,
Fig. 5 is a corresponding rear end elevation of the collapsed carriage.
.Fig. 6 is a sectional detail of the flexible seat.
Two bearer members 10 carry wheels II on stub axles. The bearer members l carry four vertical channel section members l2, I3 interconnected by longitudinal horizontal bars 50 and surmounted by arm rests I4. The parts I0, l2, l3 and 50 form a pair of rigid skeleton side frames one on each side of the carriage.
The arm rests I4 are pivoted at 23 to the channel section members I2, l3. A seat I is fixedly located at 14a to the undersides of the arm rests l4.
Members I9 are slidably located within the ,2 channelsectionmembers l2, l3 andvarerinter- *cornnected -by longitudinal horizontal rods d8,
52. 'Therods laextend through-theLseat l5 "(see Fig. 6) are interconnected r by longitudinal horizontal The channel 1 section members I 2, l3

"and pivoted-to one another intermediatet their ends toqacentral longitudinal rod 22. Afootrest ;comprises two ha1fsections -20' h'inged'to- .gether' at ll and'ihinged at their outersends to the sides of the carriage. The footrest:-i'sisupported atits central hinge-from the'rod 22 by meansht-avvertical. link member 46 having a slot 46a. .The strutslaarenotched;.at.5l toraccommodate the rods 52- in the collapsed position of the carriage.
Two spring.steelarmsL25zareslidably located in longitudinal diagonal :guide members 25asecured to the side frames of .the carriage. In: the drawings the armsZli are shown in the extended position. vThe upper ends of the steel arms-.25 are interconnected by a-control handle-'24. Extension .of..the arms 25-,is: limited byoutwardly projecting studs 2! at the lower ends thereof which in the extended position of -the strips .abl tlagainststop plates 28secured to the'mem- 'bers I 3; pl-nwardly projecting: studs :(not shown) on the arms. 25-:.engag e over-theuupper ends :29 -of ,thexmembers 25 to retain .the-zarmsiin the extendedjposition.
The fabric .seat- 45', is'extended" to form=a back rest supported.- from the arms2-5 by rings3ll,..3l and bracedby. means of .an. adjustable-strap 32 connectedito the-arm rests l4. 'Thetback'rest is held in its extended position. by outwardly. pro- .jectinggstuds: 33 onthe arms .25.
,-,,-.A-,h.ood 34 .iscarried-on a framework comprising frame members 35, 36 hinged together at 31 and hinged at 39 to rods 38 engaging in extensions 42, 43 of the members l3. The side members are pivotally connected by longitudinal and transverse struts 40 interconnected by links 4|.
A handle 44 is provided on the seat I5 to facilitate the collapsing of the carriage.
To collapse the carriage, the hood is first partially collapsed by raising the links 4|. The seat I5 is raised by the handle 44 to raise the rods l8 and actuate the struts l6 to displace the side frames of the carriage towards each other. The
arm rests l4 are then pivoted upwardly to enable the seat 15 to be compactly stowed therebetween. The hood may be removed from the extensions 42, 43 or may be pivoted about the hinges 39 to rest above the arm rests. The arms .25 are depressed into the position shown in Fig. to lock the carriage in the collapsed position.
