hereby declare the nature of my invention for SHIFTING SEATS TO DOG CARTS
OR ANY OTHER SUITABLE VEHICLES to be as follows:-
:-
The object of the invention is to enable a person to shift the Seats to obtain an
even balance to Cart without having to leave his Seat, and without stopping the
vehicle.
Figure 1, represents the Coil Spring A, enclosed in a case 5 in in diameter and
1 in thick fixed to a bar running across the Cart and firmly fixed to.each side
with bolts. The arm with joints attached to the Coil spring is fixed to Seat B.
The object is to throw the Seat forward by means of the Coil spring (the Seats
running on rollers) there being no difficulty in getting the Seat back as a person
can do so by forcing the Seat to any position he may require. C, is a spring,fixed
to the Cross bar to hold the Seats by means of a ratchett fixed to the underside of
Seat.
At the end of the spring is a round rod D, running up the off side of Cart
close to drivers hand, so that when the Seats are required to be moved the handle
is simply pressed down and the Seats are free to move to any position.
Figure 2, represents the side of Cart shewing spring C, attached to running rod
with knob on end D., so that when the Seat is required to be moved a person
pressing down the knob causes the spring to come below the ratchett F., and
liberates the Seat.

Figure 1," of drawings filed with the Provisional Specification, represents the
Coil Spring A enclosed in a case 5 in in diameter and 1 in thick, fixed to a bar
running across the Cart and firmly fixed to each side with bolts. The arm with
joints attached to the Coil spring is fixed to seat B. The object of the invention
is to throw the Seats forward by means of the Coil spring (the Seats running on
rollers), there being no difficulty in getting the Seats back, a person can force them
back to any position he may require.
C, is a spring fixed to the Cross bar to hold the seats by means of a rachett fixed
to the under side of seats. At the end of the spring is a round rod D, running up
the off side of Cart close to drivers hand, so that when the seats are required to be
moved, the handle is simply pressed down and the seats are free to move to any
position.
Figure 2," represents the side of Cart shewing Spring C, attached to running
rod with knob on end D, so that when the seats are required to be moved, a person
pressing down the knob causes the spring to come down below the ratchett F, and
liberates the Seats.
