strength is combined with great portability. When the separable seats, footboards and
shafts are removed the whole can be closed up into a very small compass which is so
much desired for packing. My improvements are also applicable for perambulators.

moveable parts consist of two seats A, A, two foot boards B, B, and two shafts C, C.
The seats A, A, have fixed on the under side stout iron plugs D, D, to fall into the
sockets E, E, provided for them in the cross bars F, F, at the sides of the body of the
cart the footboards, B, B, are connected with the cart by bolts & nuts to affix to

connected with a union such as is in common use for gas pipes or they may be made
in one piece & slip through a socket K & fasten to the bars of the cart with bolt and
fly nut. When the seats & the footboards are removed, the centre division or back
rest unfastened and folded back, the axle disconnected the body of the cart can be
closed up, the shafts detached, & the whole of the cart can be packed in a very small
space.
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. My improved go-cart substantially as herein described.
2. The construction of a go-cart having a divided axle, noveable seats footboards
