JOHN w. HILL, or CAIRO, ILLINOIS.
COMBINED CRADLE AND SEESAW.v
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 273,530, dated March 6, 1883.
- Application filed October 3. 1882. (No modeLl Io all whom it may concern:
Be it known tliatl,JoHN W. HILL,.ofGairo, Alexander county, Illinois, have invented a new and useful improvement in Combined Cradles and Seesaws, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. This invention relates to combined cradles and seesaws or teetering devices, and in which side rockers are used that make the undulating motion inline with the body,whereby when using the device as a cradle the tossing of the body and the turning ofthe head of the child from side to side, asin cross-rockin g, and which is alike injurious as unpleasant, is avoided.
It also relates to such of said teetering devices in which adjustable chairs or seats are combined with the rockers, and in which springs are used to ease the motion and a pulley and oord are employed to work the teeter. The invention consists in certain novel con: structions and combinations of parts, whereby an extension cradle and teeter is combined, which affords many increased facilities and advantages, as hereinafter described.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specitioation,
Ain which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 represents a view in perspective of my improved device when being used as a teeter; Fig. 2, a. longitudinal section of they same, showing the cradle as fully extended by full lines and as contracted toits smallest'limits by dotted lines; and Fg.3isa perspective view ofa treadle that may be applied to the rockers. A indicates a rocker-frame having attached side rockers, B B, that have grooves b in their rocking-surfaces, arranged to receive within them tongues o o, formed on a lower platform, C'. This platform, which forms a working base for the rockers, may be mounted on rollers d d, to facilitate the Inoving of the whole device over the door of a room without injury to the carpet thereon, or fromy place to place, as required. The rockers are further keptin position by steady-pins c, arranged to project upward from opposite sides of the platform U, and between rubber blocks f f, secured tothe sides of the rockers B.
D D areA springs connecting the platform C and rocker-frame A on opposite sides of the centers of the rockers and beyond them. These Springs ease the motion of and have a balancing effect upon the cradle or teeter.
E E are two sliding seats or cradle end sections itted so as to be adjustable along grooved ways on the rockerframe A, and whereby they may either be brought together and secured by a catch, g, or otherwise to make a compact cradle, as shown by dotted lines iuFig. 2, or be more or less moved apart to form a teeter, as in Fig. l, or an extended cradle for a larger child or youth, as shown by full lines in Fig. 2. When thus extended the space between the seats E E may be tlled in by one or more removable extension-boards F F.
The same devices or seats, E E, of the seesaw or teeter, it will be observed, also form the cradle, and are each secured in position, when Vadj usted along the rockerl'rame A, by thumbscrews h h, of which there may be two for eac seat.
When using the structure as a seesaw, the seats E E may be' adjusted to different positions or distances, respectively, from the center of the rockers to provide forthe two occupants, .when of different weights, working the teeter 5 or they may be so adjusted that oneeoccupant alone' may Work it, or two children may occupy one seat and one child the other.
Rubber or other bumpers, J, are applied to 'the under side ofthe rocker-frame A, to break the shock and ease the motion of the teeter b v said bumpers coming in contact with blocks GV G, having a sliding t along the platform C; or said blocksmay also be used to check the rockers B when no motion is required, as shown by full lines in Fig. 2.
His acord for working the teeter, and which, fastened at its one end to the rocker-frame A, beyond the rockers, passes .under a pulley, t', on theplatform G, and from thence up between the seats to one ofthe occupants, who thus is enabled to work the teeter; or each occupantmay have a similar working-cord.
I is a treadle which may be used for rocking the cradle by foot, and which is simply attached by a cord and screw or peg, 7c, arranged to fit a hole, 'm,in one of the rockers,and which may be pivotedy to the side of the platform or rest on tbe iioor.
When the cradle is at restit may he adjusted to keep the head of the child slightly raised.
Having'thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Ina com biued cradle and seesaw, the combination, with the rocker-frame A and its side or longitudinal rockers, B B, ofthe seats or cradle end sections, E Euadjustable toward or from each other along` the rocker-frame, and the base or platform O, on which the rockers arei arranged to work, substantially as specifiet 2. The combination ofthe springs D D with the platform (J, the rocker-frame A, havingattached rockers B B, and the longitudinally-ad justable seats E E, essentially as described.
3. The adjustable blocks G G, in combination with the rockers B B and rocker-frame A, the springs D l), and the bumpers J J, substantially as specified.
4. The combination, with the rocker-frame A, of the seats E E and one ormore extensionboards, F, the whole forming au extensiolr cradle, essentially as described.
5. The teeter-working cord H and pulley t', in combination with the springs D D, the rocker-frame A, with its attached rockers B B, the seats E E, independently adjustable along said frame, and the platform O, substantially as specified.
