IM PROVED BABY-WALKER.

To all whom it may concern:

Beitknown that LRPALLIssARD, of Aroma,

y in the county of Kankakee and State of Illinois,have invented a new and improved useful machine named Babys Walkin g-Supporter g and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the following drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is aperspective view of this invention., Fig. 2 is a plan view of a circle or hoop provided with eyes. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a support with its inverted bridge or potence. Fignl is a plan view of the under partof the ring orcircle. Fig. 5 is a plan View of a nut, bolt, shoulder, and pivot or casters turning point.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

The nature of my invention consists in providin g the baby with a supporter with the help of which he will walk several months before the time he generally walks, and this without any care ou the part of its mother and nurse. The construction of the babys Walking-supporter is such that the baby, always kept straight upon its feet in walking, cannot go near enough to such objects that could injure him, as chairs, stoves, tables, or other obstacles. The circle or hoop of this little machine is built in such a shape that the baby cannot upset it and fall down, that he cannot go through doors of ordinary size, and is by those advantages perfectly safe. The baby can at will go forward and backward and turn -in every direction with the utmost facility.

Figure l represents a babys walking-supporter made of solid or hollow iron, cast-iron, brass, wood, or any suitable material.

The hoop A, Fig. 2, the inferior part of the frame, is provided with four eyes, a. a a a.

B B B B are four supports, provided at one end of each with an eye, d, and tapped at the other end, b, Fig. 3.

The bolts O G C C, forming by an inferior extension the pivot or turning-point of the caster-wheel, pass at d, Fig. l, through the eyes a of the hoop A and the support B at d, and pressing those pieces between the shoulderpiece e and the nut j'fasten the same together. (See Fig. 5.)

D D D D are four inverted bridges or potenoes fastened to the ring E with wood-screws. The end b of the support, Fig. 3, is screwed into the central part of the bridge D. The height of the babys walking-supporter will vary if the support B is screwed or unscrewed.

E is a ring or circle,in which is placed the baby. This ring, Fig. 4, is provided in ggg g with openings, where the supports B B B B nd room when it is necessary to lessen the height of the babys walking-supporter.

F F F F are four caster-wheels, made of castiron, brass, or india-rubber, the pivot or turning-point of which is seen in Fig 5 at It.

The babys walking-supporter can be perfectly used' in this simple state, but it can be adorned or embellished to suit taste by any suitable decoration. A

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The arrangement of the hoop A, supported by the caster-wheels F F, and connected with the ring E by the supports B B, having screwthreads cut upon their ends for the ready adjustment of the ring E to the height of the baby, the whole bein g constructed and operated substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
