Improvements in Perambulators.
I ANNETTE FOUNTAYNE YORKE of Park Stile Langley in the County of
Buckinghamshire Gentlewoman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
The object of this invention is to construct perambulators in such a way that they
shall be capable of being formed into a case or basket trunk for transport by rail or
otherwise as ordinary luggage or they may be formed into cots when required.
According to this invention I make the hood, handles seats and springs detachable
so that these parts can be packed inside with the wheels when the carriage is formed
into a case and I have a false bottom to the carriage which can also be detached so
as to form a cover and thus complete the case or trunk.
In order to form a bassinette I mount the body on a folding tressel and adjust a
suitable curtain holder (when this latter is required) also a webbing bottom to
support a mattress.. I prefer to make the body of carriage of basketwork for the
sake of lightness.
I propose to have the axles telescopic so that they may be shortened in order to
pack inside the body in which case the frame should be provided with a stretcher
bar or bars so as to hold it in position when in use on the carriage.

Improvements in Perambulators.
I ANNETTE FOUNTAYNE YORKE of Park Stile Langley in the County, of
Buckinghamshire, Gentlewoman do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to construct perambulators in such a way that they
shall be capable of being formed into a case or basket trunk for transport by rail or
otherwise as ordinary luggage or they may be formed into cots when required.
According to this invention I make the hood, handles, seats and springs
detachable so that these parts can be packed inside with the wheels when the
carriage is formed into a case.
In order to form a bassinette I mount the body on a folding tressel and adjust a
suitable curtain holder (when this latter is required) also a webbing bottom to
support a mattress. I prefer to make the body of carriage of basketwork for the
sake of lightness.
I propose to have the axles telescopic so that they may be shortened in order to
pack inside the body in which case the frame should be provided with a stretcher
bar or bars so as to hold it in position when in use on the carriage.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood, I will now proceed
to describe the same with reference to the accompanying sheets of drawings in
which
Sheet 1 Fig. 1 represents elevation of perambulator.

5 section of body of Fig. 4 with wheels, springs and handles packed
inside, and lid or cover of which may be lined to form bath.
6 body of bassinette detached fitted with suitable curtain holder
and placed on tressle to form a cot.
Similar letters of reference denote the same parts in all the figures.
a is body of perambulator, b springs, e stiffening spring from front wheels;
d telescopic axle to front wheels, d' telescopic axle to wheels e cross bar to keep
springs in position is trunk in which.. perambulator is packed, f¹ cover of same
which can if desired be lined with tin or other suitable material to form a bath,
bolts and, nuts by which the springs hood handles and other parts can be readily
detached, seats suitably fitted on a projecting ledge.
Figs. 4 and 5 shows a perambulator constructed so that the body thereof shall
form the case to pack the springs and other detachable parts therein.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
Constructing perambulators substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
