IMPROVEMENTS IN PERAMBULATORS, VIZ CORRUGATED METALLIC BODIES
Year: 1884

page_text: I JOHN AYLWARD-East Street Coventry-in the County of Warwick-
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the above invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN PERAMBULATORS, VIZ CORRUGATED METALLIC BODIES, to be
as follows:-
A Perambulator Body constructed according to this invention is made of light
sheet-metal two sections forming the entire panels of the Body. When rivetted
or brazed together they make the complete circle and pitch of the body-which
is of ordinary circular Bassinet shape.
The Sheets are Corrugated under a Stamp to a special pattern->which greatly
increase their strength and durability-adding at the same time very much to the
beauty of the Perambulator-The Corrugated grooves flow in harmony with the
proportions of the body. And in them there is provision for a plain part when
necessary for decoration.
The top of the Corrugated sheets are strengthened and finished by being enclosed
in ordinary bent rails-The bottom of the Corrugated Sheets are enclosed between
the bottom of the Perambulator, and an angular wood moulding, which makes them
thoroughly secure, and is intended for decoration.
This invention of a Corrugated Metallic body, unlike other metallic Perambulator
bodies, has no open spaces-thereby doing away with the necessity of providing
double faced upholstery-thus made being proof against the penetration of the
weather, & the tendancy which open sides have to become decayed through
receiving wet.
This invention is intended to be applied not only to the Bassinet shaped
Perambulator but also to the ordinary circular back, and square back, single and
double seated Perambulator.

page_text: I JOHN AYLWARD, of East Street, in the City of Coventry-in the County
of Warwick-Perambulator Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for CORRUGATED METALLIC PERAMBULATOR BODIES and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
A Perambulator Body constructed according to this invention is made of light
sheet metal-Two sections forming the entire panels of the Body when rivetted or
brazed together they make the complete circle and pitch of the Body which is of
ordinary Bassinette shape.
The sheets are corrugated under a stamp, to a special pattern-which greatly 1
increase their strength and durability-adding at the same time very much to the
beauty of the Perambulator.
The corrugated grooves flow in harmony with the proportions of the Body-
And in them there is provision for a plain part when necessary for decoration.
The top of the corrugated sheets are strengthened and finished by being enclosed 1
in ordinary bent rails.
The bottom of the corrugated sheets are enclosed between the bottom of the
Perambulator, and an angular wood moulding, which makes them thoroughly
secure, and is intended for decoration.
This invention of a Corrugated Metallic Body-unlike other Metallic Peram- 2
bulator bodies has no open spaces-thereby doing away with the necessity of
providing double faced upholstery_Thus made they are proof against the
penetration of the weather-and the tendancy which open sides have to become
decayed through wet.
This invention is intended to be applied not only to the Bassinette shaped
Perambulator, but also to the ordinary circular back, and square back, single &
double seated Perambulator.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood-I shall now
proceed to refer to the accompaning Photo's, which for description are numbered
Fig. 1. 2. 3.
Fig. 1. Shows a Corrugated Body with Well underneath-without decoration
Panels.
Fig. 2. Shows a Corrugated Bassinette Body-with plain parts for decoration
marked with marginal lines in White-Underneath and above the Panels, the
Corrugation runs horizontally to harmonize with said Panel.
Fig. 3. Shows a circular Single Corrugated Body-with decorative Panel on
sides--An angular moulding enclosing the corrugated Metallic sheets.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed-I declare that what
I claim is
1. The making of Perambulator Bodies out of Metallic Sheets-Corrugated as
fully described.
2. The said Corrugation to be in part perpendicular-and in part horizontal (as
Fig. 2) with plain parts for decorative Panels.
3. The invention I claim to be applicable to both single and double seated
Perambulators, as before described.
