The disk 13 integ 'elwith the upper oloelr. t

carries a hearing plate 18 secured by means we of the screws 19, which hearing plate as indicated in provided iii its base with a, plurality of bell TGQQSSQS 20. Secures rigidity to the p111 14L by means ot the eross pins 21 is the ball carrier 22 which ball. cote rier 1S provided with o plumiity ot IQCQEWOF- ,23 in which are mounted, the sets of hells :34:

list the halls 2i incl held ll the balls 2% and 25, which balls are cammed to the rear against the resistance of the spring 27 as the shield assumes a new position. The use of the two sets of balls instead of a single set permits the use of a longer bearing for the balls in the carrier 22, and the set 25 serves as an anti-friction support for the set 24,

Having thus described my invention and illustrated its use, what I claim asncw and desire to secure by Letters Patent is the following F 1. In combination in' a wind shield, a lower frame member, a bearing block at each side thereof having a recessed face and a glass clip to the rear of the recess and projecting above the face of the block, a glass carried by the clips, an upper frame member, a bearing block at each side thereof hinged to the opposing bearing block on the lower frame member and having a recessed face and a glass clip to the frontof the recess and projecting below the face of the block, a. glass carried by the clips, and means for holding the shield in upright position, the relative position of the clips and recesses being such that when the upper frame member is in upright position the clips on the lower frame member engage the recesses upon the bearing blocks of the upper frame member and the clips on the u ppcr frame member engage the recesses upon the bearing blocks of the lower frame member.

2. In combination in a hinge for wind shields, a hinge member having a bearing member provided in its face with a series of ball recesses, a second hinge member, a ball carrier mounted to turn with such second hinge member and provided with a series of perforations carrying balls engaging said recesses, another set of balls also lying in the perforations and engaging the other balls, and spring means non-rotatable with respect to the ball carrier for yieldingly pressing the last mentioned set of balls against the other balls.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of the two subscribed witnesses;
