Improvements in Perambulators and Children's Carriages.
I, HORACE INGRAM Electrical Artizan Dunstall Place Dunstall Road
Wolverhampton do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to perambulators and children's carriages, its object being.
to diminish the effects of jolting and vibration by sustaining the weight of the body
of perambulators and children's carriages upon spiral springs moving in a vertical
direction.
The framework consists of two bars of iron A secured to the axle G and curved
upwards at each end until approximately vertical.
At the extremities of the bars of iron A are fixed two handles B, one at each end
of perambulator, which keeps the bars of iron A in a rigid parallel position. At a
suitable distance from the axle G towards each end of the bars of iron A there is a
boss or other obstruction fixed C. On this boss or obstruction C and round the
bars of iron A is a spiral spring D. At each end of the body of the perambulator E
and secured to it are two iron angle plates F, in these plates are suitable holes,
through which passes the bars of iron A, thereby allowing the iron angle plates F
to press upon the springs D.
When the framework A is jarred or caused to vibrate by reason of the wheels
being pushed against obstructions in the path or road, the springs D yield, so that
practically no jolting or vibration is communicated to the body of perambulator E.
The way in which I prefer to carry out my invention is illustrated in the
accompanying drawing whereof
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of perambulator embodying my present improvements.
Fig. 2 is a corresponding plau.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation drawn to a larger scale, of A, C, D, E, and F.

Wolverhampton 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 :-

I do not confine myself to the precise details illustrated in the drawings left
with the Provisional Specification, as the same may be varied, without departing
from the principle of my invention.
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,
1. The improved perambulator, constructed, arranged, and operating sub-
stantially as described with reference to the drawings left with the Provisional
Specification.
