PETER J'. REINERT, 0F PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA.
CRADLE.
Application filed December 19, 1910, Serial No. 598,016.
To all wh-0m t may concern Be it known that I, PETER J. REINERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented` new and useful Improvements in Cradles, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to infants cots, and more particularly to the class of cribs.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a crib of this character in which an infant may be placed and covered by suitable bed clothing, whereby it will be impossible for the infant, due to restlessness, working thev cover off of the crib, thereby obviating the necessity of pinning or otherwise fastening the clothing over such infant.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a crib of this character in which an infant may be placed, so that there willbe no possibility of the said infant falling from the crib while asleep, the crib being foldable, thereby enabling the same to be readily and conveniently carried by a person when traveling.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a crib of this character in which a canopy or covering is detachably connected therewith for shielding the occupant from the sun rays and also protecting such infant from draft while sleeping within the crib.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a crib which may be folded when not in use, thereby enabling the same to be stored in the least possible space, and that is simple of construction, thoroughly reliable and eflicient in its purpose, and i11- eXpensive to manufacture.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully described hereinafter, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a crib constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view. Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view when folded. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective yiew of one of t-he supports in the canopy for the crib. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the crib showing a slight modification of the invention. Fig. 7

is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 8 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
Referring to the drawings by numerals, the crib illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5 comprises a frame, including spaced longitudinal side bars 10 and end bars 11, the bars being substantially circular-shaped in cross section, and the end bars are secured to the said side bars in any suitable manner. Each side and end bar is provided in its outer face with a longitudinal groove 12 in which is detachably iitted a securing strip 13, the latter being coextensive with the groove 12. Mounted upon this frame is a lower canvas sheet 14, the edges of which are engaged in the grooves 12 in the side and end bars, and are held therein by means of the securing strips 13, whereby the saidsheet 14 will be held either in taut or slack condition on the frame.
Secured to the ends of the side bars 10 are hingesl, the latterbeing also connected to the upper ends of foldable supporting legs 15, which are connected together in pairs by cross rungs 17, the said legs being adapted for inward folding movement toward the frame when the latter is not in use. Connected to the side bars 10 of the frame and to the legs 16 are braces 18, each being formed with a pivotal break joint 19, so that the said legs may be folded and also sustained in rigid position for supporting the frame when in use.
Detachably carried by the frame is anupper covering 20, the same being formed from any suitable material, and its edges are folded inwardly around the sides and one end bar, so as to engage between the same and the lower sheet 14, whereby on placing an infant upon the lower sheet 14, the latter at its connected edges with the frame will tightly bind the edges of the upper covering 20 thereto, thus preventing any possibility of the same becoming loose when partially wrapped around the sides and end bar of said frame, so that there will not be any possibility of the child or infant becoming uncovered when resting in the crib.
Detachably connected with the frame of the crib is a canopy comprising upwardly arched Wire members 21, the same being provided with outwardly curved hook-like ends 22 adapted to detachably embiace the side bars l0 of the frame adjacent their ends. Stitched or otherwise secured to the upwardly bowed members 22 is a fabric sheet 23, the latter serving as a canopy or hood for the crib.
In Figs. 6 to 8, is shown a modification of the crib, wherein the fralne is provided at opposite ends thereof with depending fulcrum plates 24, the latter being secured medially to the end bars 11 of the said frame, and each plate 24 contains a vertical slot 25 intersecting a central circular opening 26 forming an entrance to the slot. Passed through the openings 26 into the slots 25 in the fulcrum plates 24 are headed studs 27 formed at the outer ends of pintles 2S of hinges 29, the same connecting downwardly diverging foldable leg sections 30, which latter are connected by foldable braces 31, each having a pivotal break joint 32. The braces 31 will enable the legs to be held in spread relation for supporting the frame of the crib, and also to enable the said leg sections to be folded inwardly toward each other.
Suitably secured at opposite ends of the leg sections 30- on opposite sides ofthe rocking fulcrum plates 24 are stop projections 33, the same being adapted for engagement in notches 34 formed in opposite side edges ofA the said plates 24 and serve to limit the rocking movement of the frame when moved from one side to the other with respect to the leg sections.
Connected to the side bars 10 of the frame are retractile springs 35, the same being also connected to the leg sections and serve to sustain the frame in substantially horizontal position, although enabling it to be rocked when desired. It itobvious that the frame may be readily detached from the leg sections, and also that the latter may be folded, whereby the crib may be brought to compact form for ready and convenient shipping thereof, or the storage of the same.
` What is claimed is:
l. A crib comprising a substantially rectangular-shaped frame, including side and end bars, each being provided with a groove disposed in its outer face longitudinally thereof, a canvas sheet disposed across said frame, means detachably securing the edges of the sheet in the grooves in the side and end bars, and a removable cover having its edges wrapped about the side and end bars and held connected thereto by the sheet when supporting an infant.
2. A crib comprising a substantially rectangular-shaped frame, including side and end bars, each being provided with a groove disposed in its outer face longitudinally thereof, a canvas sheet disposed across said frame, means detachably securing the edges of the sheet in the grooves in the side and end bars, a removable cover having its edges wrapped about the side and end bars and held connected thereto by the sheet when Y PETER J. REINERT.
