Improvements in Brakes, Waggonettes, Dog-carts, and other like
Road Vehicles.
I, AGNES DONNELLY, of 94, Church Street, Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to brakes, waggonettes, dog-carts and other like road
vehicles and it consists in building the body of the vehicle, say a brake, with
sides which extend upwards sufficiently far to form solid back rests for the
occupants of the vehicle. The built up sides are provided at the top with a
series of curved or other back pieces which may, or may not, as desired be
ornamented. The seats may be independent of one another or continuous as
usual and they may be either fixed or movable. The object of the arrangement
is to provide the vehicle with a series of chair seats and (or) backs so as to give
greater comfort to the occupants than at present when they have but a simple
rail as a back support. The door of the vehicle is made after the same design
as the body and is provided with a curved or other back piece. The dickey seat
may also be made after the same design.
The seats and (or) backs may be padded in such a manner as to make them
as like cushioned chairs as possible.
In the case of a dog-cart or like vehicle there may be two chair seats facing
the front and two facing the back and they would be suitably padded and made
with the back rests.
A vehicle made in accordance with this invention is not only neat in appearance
but very comfortable for the occupants.

I, AGNES DONNELLY, of 94, Church Street, Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire, 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 brakes, waggonettes, dog-carts and other like road
vehicles and it consists in building the body of the vehicle, say a brake, with
sides which extend upwards sufficiently. far to form solid back rests for the

series of curved or other back pieces which may, or may not, as desired be
ornamented. The seats may be independent of one another or continuous as
usual and they may be either fixed or movable. The object of the arrangement
is to provide the vehicle with a series of chair seats and (or) backs so as to give
greater comfort to the occupants than at present when they have but a simple
rail as a back support. The door of the vehicle is made after the same design
as the body and is provided with a curved or other back piece. The dickey seat
may also be made after the same design.
The seats and (or) backs may be padded in such a manner as to make them
as like cushioned chairs as possible.
In the case of a dog-cart or like vehicle there may be two chair seats facing
the front and two facing the back and they would be suitably padded and made
with the back rests.
A vehicle made in accordance with this invention is not only neat in appearance
but very comfortable for the occupants.
The annexed drawing shows by way of illustration a brake and a dog-cart
made in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the brake and Fig. 2 a side elevation of the dog-
cart. Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the seats.
As will be seen clearly from Fig. 3 the seats are made partially separate from
each other so as to form independent sitting spaces for the passengers or other
parties riding in the vehicle. a are the curved backs at the top of the built up
sides and are the seat-bottoms.
As will be seen from Fig. 1 the door of the brake is made after the same
design as the body of the vehicle.
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:-
:―
A road vehicle such as a brake, waggonette, dog-cart or the like made with a
series of cnair seats and (or) backs so as to give greater comfort to the occupants
of the, vehicle than when a simple rail is used as a back support, substantially
as described.
