Abstract

406,317. Hinges. PEARCE, G. H., and SANDERS, E., 130, Bromyard Road, Worcester. Aug. 23, 1932, No. 23542. [Class 65 (ii).] An angularly-adjustable vehicle windscreen a having upwardly curved upper and lower edges is pivotally mounted at its upper edge so as to be displaceable in a forward and rearward direction relative to the hood or other stationary supporting part by means of a screw device or devices associated with the suspension hinges, the longitudinal displacement being independent of the angular adjustment of the screen. The screen may be moved bodily from its opening and secured in position by telescopic or other lockable links and by the screw device or devices. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, pivots d connect two spaced forked lugs c on the windscreen frame b with screwed eyebolts g having manually-rotatable nuts h which screw into brackets e fixed to the front part f of the hood, the internal and external threads of the nuts being of opposite pitch. The frame b is fitted with a peripheral rubber jointing strip i. In a modification, Fig. 4, a single central sleeve-nut h controls the screen and screws on a T-shape bolt g the cross-piece g<1> of which is mounted in lugs c<1>, guide pins l slidable in brackets m being provided on the cross-piece.
