Definitions
- the object I have in View is to produce a light and strong vehicle which can be used as a buggy or carriage and can be easily converted into a sulky, the whole costing but little more than an ordinary carriage with the same finish, and forming a convenient and desirable vehicle when arranged for use in either capacity; and my invention therein consists,
- zo mainly, in providing the hind wheels of the vehicle with a sulky-frame, in combination with a detachable carriage or buggy body, supported on the front wheels and adapted to be secured to the sulkyframe and rear axle, so
- Figure 1 is a side elevation 3o of the vehicle arranged as a single-seated buggy, with a carriage-top shown in dotted lines;
- Fig. 2 a vertical longitudinal section of the vehicle as a doubleseated buggy;
- Fig. 3 a side view of the parts arranged asa sulky, and
- Fig. 4 a top View of the same.
- A is the rear axle having proper wheels, and carrying suitable springs a, (either one transverse or two longitudinal springs,) upon 4o which the bolster b is secured.
- the side bars, B are bolted to the bolster, projecting forward to the frontof the body O, and a short distance to the rear of the bolster.
- the side bars are connected above the bolster by a cross-piece,
- the body O of any convenient form, is supported at its forward end on the front axle, D, through intermediate ifthwheel and spring, the bottom of the body be- 5o ing hinged to the forward bolster, d, as shown.
- the body fills the space between the side bars,
- the body is provided with a suitable seat
- E and may have a removable carriage-top, F, attached.
- the sides of the body are inclined 6o at the rear, and the rear side ot' the lbox-body is closed, as shown in Fig. 1, by a folding panel,
- This panel hinged to the cross-piece c.
- This panel can be thrown back upon the cross-piece c',t0 form a rear seat, Fig. 2, and may have a folding back-rest hinged to it.
- the reach-pole H which extends to the rear, passing centrally through the hind hounds and through the rear axle, 7o and secured by a spring, key, or screw.
- the reach may terminate in front of the same and be removably coupled with the frame, forming the hind hounds, which can be of any usual or convenientconstruction.
- Arms f project forward from the rear axle, and have means for coupling with the shafts when the vehicle is in use as a sulky.
- a wooden or sheet-iron sulky-bottom, K which projects forward and downward, and has its front end turned up to form a dash-board.
- the sulkybottom rests close to the under side of the body when the vehicle is arranged as a carriage or buggy, and has means for securing it to the whifdetree-barg of the shafts when they are coupled with the arms f.
- Vhen in use as a sin gle-seated buggy the body is attached to 9o the side bars and the shafts to the front axle, the panel G is thrown forward to close the rear of the box, and the vehicle takes the form shown in F-ig.1.
- By attaching the top F a covered buggy or single-seated carriage is obtained. Vith the top oif the panel Gr can be thrown back to form a double-seated buggy, Fig. 2.
- the reach is nncoupled from the rear axle or roo hind hound-frame, and the front bolster, d, disconnected from the side bars. Then,by drawing forward on the shafts, the front wheels, the body, and the reach will be separated from the remaining parts of the Vehicle.
- the shafts are then taken from the front axle and coupled with the armsf, and the bottom K is bolted to the bar g ot" the shaft.
- the bars B at their forward ends, are secured to the shafts by pivotal bolts, as shown.
- the panel G is thrown back to form the seat, and the result is a strong and convenient sulky, Figs. 3 and 4.
- the seat G of the sulliy-frame forming the panel for the rear side of the buggybody, substantially as described and shown.
- the bodyC hinged to the forward bolster, d, and detachably connected with the rear part of the run nin g-gear of the vehicle, substantially as described and shown.
- the footrest or bottom K having only its rear supported by the end supported by the shafts, specified.
