Improvements in or Applicable to Perambulators.
1, WILLIAM HEWITT, of No. 20, Balls Pond Road, in the county of Middlesex,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the construction and application to perambulators of a
double reversible hood so arranged that it folds, up similarly to a single hood and
either part of the double hood can be used at each end of the perambulator.
In carrying out my invention I form the outer or bottom frame of the hood in two
parts jointed in the middle so as to allow of the frame being articulated to the body of
the perambulator; the ends of the inner frame of each part of my double hood are
jointed to the bottom fraine; each part of the hood has the usual inside frames and is
covered in the usual manner and is provided with the usual hood joints, straps or the
like for keeping the hood open.
By the use of my double reversible hood it will be obvious that either part of the
hood can be used at either end of the perambulator and the two parts forming the
double hood can be folded together at either end of the perambulator.
*In some cases the inner frames are arranged to receive sashes or windows so hinged
to the frames that when not in use they can be folded down against the inside of the
perambulator, the padding being arranged to cover the windows when they are thus
folded down.

facturer 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 :-
This invention relates to the construction and application to perambulators of a
double reversible hood so arranged that it folds up similarly to a single hood and either
part of the double hood can be used at each end of the perambulator.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 represents an elevation of my double reversible hood with cover removed to
shew relative position of stays and main jointed frame.
Fig. 2 shews reversible hood with one side closed.
Fig. 3 shews a plan of one side only to illustrate action of joints.
In carrying out my invention I form the outer or bottom frame A A of the hood in
two parts jointed in the middle at a either by thumb screw or thimble or other suitable
means so as to allow of the frame being articulated to the body of the perambulator
the end of the inner frame of each part of my double hood are jointed at to the
bottom frame each part of the hood has the usual inside frames and is covered in the

the hood open.
ད
By the use of my double reversible hood it will be obvious that either part of the
hood can be used at either end of the perambulator and the two parts forming the
double hood can be folded together at either end of the perambulator. In some cases
the inner frames are arranged to receive sashes or windows so hinged to the frames
that when not in use they can be folded down against the inside of the perambulator
the padding being arranged to cover the windows when they are thus folded
down.
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
A double reversible hood operated as hereinbefore described and for the purposes
set forth.
