Application December 3, 1948, Serial No. 63,425
1 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in a childs sled of the hand propelled type.
'I'he main objects of this invention are:
First, to provide a childs sled of the hand propelled type which is light in weight and at the Sametime strong and rigid.
Second, to provide a childs sled having these advantages which is very attractive in appearance and may be very economically produced.
Objects relating to details and economies of the invention will appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined and pointed out in the claims.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a side perspective view of a childs sled embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof with the handle removed.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view on a line corresponding to line 3-3 of Fig. 1 showing structural details.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view in section on a une 4 4 of Fig. 2 illustrating further details.
Figs. 5 and 6 are fragmentary sectional views on lines corresponding to lines 5--5 and 6-6 of Fig. 1 respectively, illustrating details of the seat side panels and the mounting thereof.
The embodiment of my invention illustrated in the drawing comprises the runners I of T section providing upwardly projecting flanges 2. The front ends 3 of the runners are curved upwardly and terminate in rearwardly projecting downwardly curved body brackets or arms 4. The flange portions 2 of the runners are cut away on these bracket arms and are partially cut away at 5 to facilitate bending. The rear ends of the runners are curved upwardly providing curved heels 6 which permit the drawing of the sled backward and facilitate lifting over obstructions or elevations and the sliding or lifting over elevations such as curbs and steps. 'I'he web 2 is partially cut away at I to facilitate the forming of these curved heel portions.
The panel-like body member designated generally by the numeral I2 is desirably formed of thin stock such as veneer and is bent and contion I3, the upturned back portion Ill and the upturned front or foot rest portion I5. lThe back portion is disposed upon the front' sides of lthe uprights and secured thereto by bolts I6. These bolts provide a rigid or xed connection. The upturned foot portion I5 and the bracket arms l are correspondingly curved. The foot portion being fixedly secured on arms by the bolts I1. The side members or arm members I8 are desirably formed of wood stock suitably bent and conformed, the rear ends I9 of the members I8 are upturned and disposed against the back and secured thereto and to the uprightsby means of bolts I6. A cross piece 29 is disposed below the seat portion of the body member at a point opposite the downturned ends 2I of the side members I8. The bolts 22 are arranged through the forwardly turned lower ends of the sid members and the said body member and this cross piece. The side members are provided with slots 32 to receive the retaining strap 23.
Nails or screws, conventionally indicated at 28, are driven into the edges of the body member and side members to retainingly engage the tongues. The handle 29 is preferably formed of tubing, conformed to downwardly facing U-shape and suitably curved rearwardly. The side members 30 of the handle 29 are telescoped into the upper ends of the uprights in supporting engagement with the upper bolt I6 and retained by the screws 3|.
With this arrangement of parts I provide a structure which is light in weight and at the same time is strong and rigid. The structure is designed for use as a carriage for small children and its compactness and lightness permits it being easily placed in automobiles, street cars or busses and carried into homes.
I have illustrated and described my invention in a highly practical embodiment thereof. I have not attempted to illustrate or describe other adaptations or embodiments which I contemplate, as it is believed that this disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt my invention as may be desired.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1, In a sled, the combination with runners having upwardly projecting longitudinal anges, the front ends of said runners being curved upward and terminating in rearwardly extending downwardly curved arm-like brackets, tubular uprights having rearwardly bowed knee portions terminating at their lower ends in forwardly projecting downwardly facing extensions embracing the anges of the runners adjacent their rear ends and secured thereto, the rear ends of the runner being curved upwardly with the tips thereof disposed closely adjacent to the rearwardly bowed knee portions of the uprights, a panel-like body member including an upwardly bowed seat portion curvedly merging into an upwardly projecting back portion at its rear end and curvedly merging into an upturned foot portion at its front end, the back portion being disposed upon and secured to said uprights, the foot portion being disposed upon and secured to said bracket arms at the front ends of the runners, a cross piece disposed centrally on the underside of the body member, side members having upwardly curved rear ends connected to said back portion of said body member and to said uprights and downwardly curved front portions connected to the seat portion of said body member and said cross piece, and a U-shaped handle, the side members of which are telescopically engaged with said uprights and secured thereto.
2. In a sled, the combination with runners having upwardly projecting longitudinal flanges, the front ends of said runners being curved upward and terminating in rearwardly extending downwardly curved arm-like brackets, uprights terminating at their lower ends in forwardly projecting downwardly facing extensions embracing the anges of the runners adjacent their rear ends and secured thereto, a panel-like body member including an upwardly bowed seat portion curvedly merging into an upwardly projecting back portion at its rear end and curvedly merging into an upturned foot portion at its front end, the back portion being disposed upon and secured to said uprights, the foot portion being disposed upon and secured to said bracket arms at the front ends of the runners, side members having upwardly curved rear ends connected to said back portion of said body member and to said uprights and downwardly curved front portions connected to the seat portion of said body member, and a U-shaped handle, the side members of which are telescopically engaged with said uprights and secured thereto.
