A. H. TUTTLEBEE. Carriage-Curtains.
N0.I47,450. Pa tentedFeb.10.1874.
UNITED STATES ARTHUR H. TUTTLEBEE, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF TWO PATENT OFFICE.
THIRDS HIS RIGHT TO EDMUND S. WHEELER AND FREDERICK B.
SQUIER, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGE-CURTAINS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,450, dated February 10,1874; application filed December 22, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR H. TUrrLE- BEE, of the city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carriage Curtains or Covers, of which the following is a specification:
The object of this invention is to provide, by a very simple device, a sure and effectual protection to the interior of a carriage, sleigh, or other vehicle, against snow, rain, dust, or stormy weather; and it consists in the arrangement and combination of the movable curtain with the covering of the vehicle, when it is provided with one'or more double pieces or flaps, arranged for the reception of and between which the edges of the said curtain are buttoned, or otherwise fastened, when in use.
It is well known that carriage-covers, as heretofore constructed and arranged, leave openings through which rain, snow, or mud and dust find a free passage, and thereby soil the clothing, or otherwise add to the discomfort of the passenger, all of which is obviated by this invention, while, at the same time, a sufficient ventilation is allowed within the ve hicle.
In theaccompanying drawings, in which like lettersrepresent like parts in the several figures, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a car riage body and cover, representing the arrangement of the several parts, and the curtains, when closed. Fig. 2 represents a back view of the same, showing the back curtain fastened down. Fig. 3 is a front view, representing the front curtain closed. Fig. 4 represents a section through line mm, Fig. 1.
Ais the top of the cover; 13, the sides of the same. (J represents the side, D the back, and E the front, curtain. The letters F are buttons by which they are held in place, and the letters G represent straps for the same purpose. H and J aretheflaps which lap over each side of the edgeof the curtains when in place, Hrepresenting the outside and J the inside one. In Fig. 4 I .have shown one of the outside flaps open at E preparatory to taking out or rolling up the curtain. The inside flaps maybe supported by a frame, such as ordinarily used for carriages, and the buttons fastened thereto, or, if desired, they may be fastened directly to the flap. In fastening, the button passes through the curtain and through the outside flap, thereby holding all the parts closely together. The double flaps H and J maybe attached tothe curtains instead of the sides of the cover, if required. In either case the result would be the same.
I claim as my invention-- The combination of the flaps H and J and buttons F with the curtains of a vehicle, substantially as and for the purposes described.
ARTHUR H. TUTTLEBEE.
