1846 31st Access Alight Easy Floor Omnibus Passengers Patent Safety Step Afforded
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 1st of January 1846 showcases the innovative new patent safety omnibus design by Hunnybun & Vendens. The image, titled "Patent Street Carriage," highlights the unique features of this transportation marvel, which was designed to prioritize the safety and convenience of passengers. Unlike traditional omnibuses of the time, this new model boasts a low construction, which allows passengers to alight from the road directly to the floor of the carriage without the need for an aid such as a step. This design innovation was a significant improvement, as it made boarding and disembarking much easier and safer for all passengers, especially women, children, and the elderly. The importance of this design can be seen in the image, where passengers are depicted exiting the omnibus effortlessly, without the need for assistance. This design was also a departure from the high-platformed omnibuses that were common in the 1800s, which required passengers to climb a step to enter or exit the vehicle. The patent for this design was granted on the 31st of December 1845, and it is believed that this new safety feature was one of the first of its kind. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and forward-thinking of Hunnybun & Vendens, who were at the forefront of transportation innovation during this period. This historical engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing how transportation design evolved to meet the needs of the public. It is a reminder of the importance of innovation and the role it plays in making our daily lives easier and more convenient.
