VENTILATING EAVES.
Application filed March 11, 1927. Serial 1W0. 174,509.
lhis invention pertains to the ventilation oi closed automobiles, and is particularly concerned with the construction of the so-called ventilating eaves which are applied to the sides of automobiles over the frequently open upper portions of the windows. 1
The principal object of the invention is to provide a novelly constructed ventilating cave which is pleasing in appearance, inexpensive to manufacture, and easy to apply, the strip of glass or other materlal forming the cave proper being readily inserted in or removed from the end brackets by but one person without the use of any tools.
While the foregoing statement is indicative in a general way of the nature pf the invention, other objects and advantages will occur to those skilled in the art upon a full understanding of the construction of the improved ventilating eave.
One form of the invention is presented herein for the purpose of eizemplification, but it will of course be appreciated that the invention is susceptible of embodiment in other structurally diiferent forms coming equally within the scope of the claims.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary side view of a closed automobile equipped with the ventilating eaves of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section, taken on the line 2- -2 of Fig. 1;
3 is a partly vertical and partly inclined section, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section, taken on the line 4- 1 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 5 is a perspective view, showing one of the end brackets.
The ventilating eave illustrated in the drawing consists of a narrow strip 10 of glass or other suitable material, and two brackets 11 having inclined seats 12 for supporting the ends of the strip. The brackets 11 are secured by screws 13 to the upper portions of the jambs 14 of the Window opening,
and the strip 10 is sealed within the seats 12 in the brackets and against the lintel 15 of the opening by a U-shaped rubber edging 16 applied to the edges of the strip.
Each of therbrackets 11 consists of a generally triangular plate 17 having a flange 18 along one edge, and another slightly smaller plate 19 positioned against the plate 17 and having a flange 20 along one edge in .spaced generally parallel relation to the flectible spring tongue 22. The lower ex-- tremity of the tongue 22 is bent abruptly towards the flange 18 to form a hook-like abutment 23 upon which the lower edge of the end of the strip 10 seats, and is bent downwardly beyond such abutment to provide a small tab 24 which may be grasped in deflecting the tongue laterally during insertion or removal of the end of the strip 10 from the seat 12 in the bracket.
The novel bracket construction. above described is not only pleasing in appearance and inexpensive to manufacture, but renders the application of a ventilating eave incorporating the same exceedingly easy, since the two'brackets may first be applied permanently to the ambs with the screws 13 and then the stri may be positioned within the seats in the rackets by one person, without assistance, by merely pressing the tabs 24 to deflect the spring tongues 22 laterally and then sliding the ends of the strip up into the seats. When the ends of the strips have been slid far enough into the seats to fully occupy the same, the lower edges of the ends of the strip will clear the abutments 23 on the spring tongues and such tongues will spring back again to bring the aloutments 23 beneath the ,lower edges of the ends of the strip, thus pro viding downwardly non-yieldablc stops for the strip which may be readily deflected when occasion requires to permit removal of a broken strip and replacement by a new one.
I claim:
1. A ventilating cave for application to a window of a closed automobile, consisting of a strip of glass or other material, and two brackets having inclined seats in which the ends of the strip are adapted to be positioned said seats including abutments for the lower edges of the ends of the strip which are shiftable in a direction substantially at right angles to the plane of the glass into positions clear of the lower edges of the same to permit removal of the glass.
2. A ventilating eave for application to a window of a closed automobile, consisting of a strip of glass or other material, and two brackets having inclined seats inrwhich the ends of the strip are adapted to be positioned; said sea-ts including abutments for the lower edges of the ends of the strip which are deflectible in a direction substantially at right angles to the plane of the glass into positions clear of the lower edges of the same to permit removal of the glass.
3. A ventilating eave for application to a window of a closed automobile, consisting of a strip of glass or other material, and two brackets having inclined seats in which the ends of the strip are adapted to be positioned; said seats including spring abut-ments for the lower edges of the ends of the strip which are yieldable in a direction substantially at right angles to the plane of the glass into positions clear of the lower edges of the same to per mit removal of the glass but are non-yieldable downwardlydn such plane.
4. A ventilating eave for application to a window of a closed automobile, consisting of a strip of glass or other material, and two brackets having inclined seats in which the ends of the strip are adapted to be positioned; each of said brackets being composed of a plate having a flange along oneedge, and a spring member secured to the plate in spaced relation to the flange and bent laterally adj acent its lower end to provide an abutment for the lower edge of the end of the strip which is deflectible in a direction substantially at right angles to the plane of the glass into a position clear of the lower edge of the same to permit removal of the glass.
5. A ventilating eave for application to a window of a closed automobile, consisting of a strip of glass or other material, and .tWo brackets having inclined seats in which the ends of thegstrip are adapted to be positioned; each of said brackets being composed of a plate having a flange along one edge, a spring window of a closed automobile, consisting of I a strip of glass or other material, and twobrackets having inc-lined seats in which the ends of the strip are adapted to be positioned; each of said brackets being composed of a plate having a flange along one edge, and a second plate secured against the first plate and having a flange along one edge in spaced parallel relation to the flange on the first plate, the flange on the second plate being free along one edgefrom that plate for a portion of its length and being bent laterally at its free end to provide a laterally deflectible abutment for the lower edge of the end of the strip.
7. A ventilating eave for application to a window of a closed automobile, consisting of a strip of glass or other material, and two brackets having inclined seats in which the ends of the strip are adapted to be positioned; each of said brackets being composed of a generally triangular plate having a flange along one edge, and a second generally tr1- angular plate secured against the first plate and having a flange along one edge in spaced parallel relation to the flange on the first plate, the flange on the second plate being free along one edge from that plate fora portion of its length and being bent first laterally at its free end to provide a laterall deflectible but downwardly non-yieldable a utment for the lower edge of the end of the strip and then downwardly to provide a tab for use in defleeting the abutment. 4 i
