' UNITED STATES PATENT @FFICE CHESTER C. CLARK, OF BROWNWOOD, TEXAS, ASSIGNOB TO HIMSELF AND LUKE L. BRUMLEY, OF SAME PLACE.
FOLDING CRADLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,820, dated February 15, 1881.
Application filed September 21, 1880. (Model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHESTER GADY CLARK, of Brownwood, in the county of Brown and State of Texas, have invented a new and Improved Folding Oradle, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved folding cradle which is simple in construction and may be provided with a fan attachment, which may move with the cradle or independently of the same.
The invention consists of a cradle formed of two triangular folding end frames provided with folding braces and connected by longitudinal rods, from which the canvas bottom is supported, which frames are pivoted at their apex on the top of two connected triangular folding standards, and are provided with a crank for swinging the cradle.
A bent rod from which a fan is suspended is attached to the bearings of the cradle in such a manner that the same moves in the opposite direction of the cradle when the same is swinging, or which may be operated independently of the movements of the cradle.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved folding cradle, showing the bearings in section.v Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, showing it folded. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same, showing it erected. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional elevation on the line 00 ac, Fig. 1.
The cradleis formed of two triangular frames, A and A provided with pivoted folding braces B and B and suspended at their apex from the shafts O and 0 mounted at the apex of the triangular folding standards D and D which are provided with the pivoted folding braces E and E and are connected with each other by the rigid longitudinal rails F and F whereas the cradle-frames A and A are connected by the longitudinal bars G and G from which the canvas forming the bottom H of the cradle is suspended, and by wickerwork or railing.
The shaft 0 is provided with a crank, I, and.
legs of the frame A, and an arm, N, provided with a stud, O, fitting into the perforation L L of the wheel P, is pivoted to the upper loose end of the spring.
The shaft K is provided with a perforation, Q, near the outer end,and has a collar, T, adjoining this perforation. A shaft, K provided with a crank, R, and journaled in the upper end of a spring-arm, S, attached to the cradle-frame A is also provided with an aperture, Q and with an adjoining collar, T The ends of a U-shaped wire, V, extending 10ngitudinally across the cradle, pass through these apertures Q and Q a certain distance, and are locked in the desired position by the nuts U and U A fan, W, of any suitable material, is attached to or suspended from the wire V.
The operation is as follows: When not in use the cradle is folded, as shown in Fig. 2. If the same is to be used, the pivoted braces E and E are extended, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. By means of the crank l the cradle can be swung to and fro at any desired and proper rate of speed, as the shafts G and C are journaled at the top of the standards D and D If the fan W is to be operated, the bent wire or rod V is adjusted in such a manner that the fan is the desired distance from the child in the cradle, this distance being great or small, as one may wish, and is locked in the desired position by the nuts V and V The stud O is then passed into one of the perforations L L of the wheel P. It the eradle swings from left to right, the arms J J will move from right to left, and the shaft K and the wheel P will swing with them but as the wheel is held by the pivoted arm N it must partially rotate from left to right, and the sh aft K must rotate with it; but as the fan-rod is attached to the shaft K, and as the fan is below the shaft K, the fan will swing from right to left-that is, the fan will always swing in the opposite direction of the cradle, and will thus produce a current of cool air and keep flies and other insects from the child.
The fan may be moved only partially or entirely across the cradle, according to the aperture L of the wheel P, into which the pin 0 of 100 the arm N has been passed.
If the fan-rod is vertical when the cradle is at rest, the fan will swing across the cradle. If the fan-rod is horizontal, the fan will swing up and down on a circular line, 850.
If the pin 0 is detached from the wheel P, the cradle can be swung to and fro without operating the fan, or the cradle may remain stationary and the fan can be swung to and fro by means of the crank R.
The cradle may be operated by means of a treadle, or by means of a string or belt from an adjoining room.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- l. The combination, with a swinging cradle and fan-rod V, of frames provided with extensions J, the shaft K, carrying perforated wheel P, the pin 0, arm N, and spring M, as and for the purpose described.
2. The combination of two triangular folding end frames pivoted at the apex and having folding braces, two longitudinal rods from which the canvas is supported, and two connccted triangular folding standards, as shown and described.
CHESTER OADY CLARK.
