PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Perambulators.
We, SAMUEL THOMAS FAWCETT, DAVID SIMPSON, and JOHN JAMES
SIMPSON, all of Black Bull Street, Leeds, in the County of York, Perambulator
Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The object of our invention is to construct perambulators in such a manner that
the padding or cushions may be readily removed from such perambulators so that
the said padding or cushions may be conveniently carried and placed in a dry and
more suitable place than would be practicable were they permanently attached to
the body of the perambulator, at the same time such padding or cushions can
be easily and quickly replaced on or in the body when the perambulator is required
for use.
According to our invention we form the rim or top part of the body of the
perambulator detachable from the body itself, such rin having a groove in its
under side of any convenient depth, and extending right round the rim. Into this
groove the upper edge of the perambulator body fits, thus making a tight joint
which is not liable to become detached. However any other convenient attachment.
between the loose rim and the upper part of the body may be employed. To the
inner side of the loose rim we attach the padding or cushions in such a manner
that they hang down into the perambulator, at the same time fitting close to the
sides of same in a similar manner to the padding at present in use. The padding
or cushions may be divided in any suitable manner to facilitate folding of same
when removed from the perambulator, and after such padding or cushions have
been folded upon the rim, the said rim with its padding or cushions will be found
to occupy a very small space, and can be easily carried and placed in any suitable
or convenient dry place.
The hood is attached to the hereinbefore mentioned loose rim at the centre in
the usual way, and is stored away with said rim, thus keeping the hood also clean
and free from moisture.
Perambulators constructed according to our invention may be easily cleaned and
aired, thus rendering them more sanitary and healthy than perambulators hitherto
constructed.

Improvements in or connected with Perambulators.
We, SAMUEL THOMAS FAWCETT, DAVID SIMPSON, and JOHN JAMES
SIMPSON, all of Black Bull Street, Leeds, in the County of York, Perambulator
Manufacturers, 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:-
The object of our invention is to construct perambulators in such a manner that
the padding or cushions may be readily removed from such perambulators, so that
the said padding or cushions may be conveniently carried and placed in a dry and

for use.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood, we will proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters
refer to like parts in all the figures.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of part of a perambulator illustrating the nature of our
invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of same with rim and cushions in position on the
body, and
Fig. 3 is also a cross section having a slightly different rim.
According to our invention we form the rim A in such a manner that it is
detachable from the body B, such rim A having a step or groove C in its underside
of any convenient depth and extending round or partially round the rim A. This
groove or step C fits over the edge of the perambulator body B, thus making a
tight joint, consequently such rim A is not liable to become detached, though any
other convenient joint or attachment between the loose rim and the upper part of
the body may be employed.
To the inner side of the rim A. we attach the padding or cushions D in such a
manner that they hang down inside the perambulator, whilst at the same time they
fit close to the sides of same in a similar manner to the padding at present in use.
The padding or cushions D may be divided down the corners E, or they may be
divided in any other suitable manner to facilitate folding same when removed from
the perambulator.
After such padding or cushions D have been folded upon the rim A, the said
rim A with its padding or cushions D will be found to occupy a very small space,
and can be easily carried and placed in any suitable or convenient place.
The hood F may be attached in the usual way to the rim A, and thus be stored
away with the said rim, keeping the hood clean and free from moisture.
Perambulators constructed according to our invention may be easily cleaned
and aired, thus rendering them more sanitary and healthy than perambulators
hitherto constructed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. In perambulators, the employment of a detachable rim, having the padding
or cushions attached thereto, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The rim A having the padding or cushions D attached thereto, said rim A
being provided with step or groove C for taking onto the body A, substantially as
described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
