CLINTON E. ROOSEVELT, OF PENDLETON, OREGON.
ATTACHMENT FOR GO-CARTS.
Application filed September 23, 1915.
T0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CLINTON E. Roosevnm, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pendleton, in the county of Umatilla and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Go-Carts, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an attachment for gc-carts which I term a curb runner. These runners are designed to slide up the edge of a curb, supporting the weight of the vehicle until the wheels again come into ac tion and also to slide down the edge of the curb, supporting the weight of the vehicle until the same is again transferred to the wheel. They also act as props or buffers and limit the rearward or forward tipping of the vehicle They also prevent the dropping of a wheel into a rut or hole in a pavement or street. lVhile these runners may be applied to a vehicle already in use it is especially intended to have them applied by the manufacturer and to offer them for sale attached to the vehicle, and the point of attachment or the particular method of attachment will therefore be dependent to a certain extent upon the type or style of the running gear of the vehicle to which they are applied.
In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the attachment applied to a well known style of g0-cart. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of one of the runners and one form of attaching means.
In the drawings 1 represents a go-cart of any desired type and having a suitable running gear or supporting frame work 2. It will of course be understood that there are two of these curb runners arranged parallel to each other and in Fig. l I have broken away one of them in order to show the other back of it. Each curb runner A consists of a central straight portion 3 having upwardly and forwardly and rearwardly 8X- tending portions 4L, respectively which may be straight as shown, or slightly curved if Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 9, 1916.

desired, said upwardly inclined portions being of greater length than the central straight portion 3. These portions are adapted to engage the edge of a curb or step as indicated in Fig. 1 and to slide up or down the same, and to support the vehicle during such sliding movement. To each runner are secured suitable connecting bars 5 and a suitable brace bar 6, the particular construction Or shape of these parts depending upon the construction of the running gear of the go-cart.
In practice the runners are arranged just inside of the adjacent wheels and the central portions 3 are about one inch from the ground.
The utility and advantages of a supporting curb runner of this type will be obvious.
In Fig. 1 I have shown the axle in section and the near wheel has been removed in order to more clearly show the construction of the curb runner.
\Vhat I claim is:
1. An attachment of the kind described comprising immovable runners arranged between the wheels of a two wheel vehicle, and extending upwardly at both ends, the central portions of said runners being at all times out of contact with the ground, the end portions being adapted to engage the edge of a curb.
2. The combination with a go-cart of curb engaging runners having a comparatively short normally horizontal portion and long upwardly extending end portions adapted to ride upon the edge of a curb, and means for connecting said runners to the running gear of the vehicle, the central horizontal portions of said runners being at all times out of contact with the ground during normal travel of the said vehicle.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
CLINTON E. ROOSEVELT.
