HEADLIGHT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 3, 1909. Serial No. 493,460.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD H. WELLES, 'acitizen of the United States, residing at the city of Kenosha, county of Kenosha, and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Head lights, ofwhich the fo lowingis a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in headlights and refers more specifically to improvements in headlights. of that type which are employed for lighting the roadway in advance of vehicles, boats, etc., the particular embodiment shown beingsuitable for use in-connection with automobiles.
Among .the salient objects of the invention are to provide a construction inwhich the parallel ray beam may be temporarily eliminated or dispersed; tgprovide a construction in which the directlon of the normal light of the lamp may be so changed as to eliminate or modify the glare due to the parallel or approximately parallel rays; to provide a beam of parallel or approximately parallelrays; to provide a construction 1n which the above objects may be accomplished by simply shifting the nozzle or. burner out of the normal focus of the lamp; to provide a construction in which the burners of two or more headlights may be simultaneously shifted into or out of focus at will toaccomp l'ish thepurpose referred to;
to provide a slmple, inexpensive and efi'ec.-. tive construction which can be readily af.
fixed to any well known type of lamp or headlight; and in general "to provide an improved construction of the character referred to.
The invention consists in the matters here-' with my invention. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional. view taken approximately at right angles to the view shown in :Fig. 1..
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the front end of an automobile showing two headlights in place thereon equipped with my invention, v
' In headlights as now commonly organized for use in connection with automobiles, locomotives, boats, etc., the light is so reflected as to form a parallel ray beam. When an automobile is approaching an object, it is desirable to'modify or lessen the glare of the light from the headlights by dispersing or changing the direction of the beam. I accomplish this by temporarily shifting the burner out of the normal focus of the lamp.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates as a whole the headlight casing which is shown as consisting of a cylindric side wall member 2, aflaring front rim 3 and an outwardly convex rear end wall 4. Seated int-he rear end of the casing is av reflector 5 of that type known as Mangan mirror; this re- I flector being of well known construction and serving to not only reflect the rays but to modify their direction so that the rays emanating from the focal point of the lamp are reflected and at the same time brought into parallelism with each other. For the protection of the interior parts of the headlight the front end of the casing is closed by a plain glass or crystal 6, which, as shown, is made of'uniform thickness throughout and therefore does not Substantially vary the direction of the rays passing therethrou h.
7 designates the nozzle or burner which as usual enters through an aperture 11 burner in this instance is an acetylene .gas
burner and a gas sup 1y pipe or tubeis connected. with the capltal 30.0f the. nozzle at the lower end of the'latterin a well known manner. The nozzle isso mounted that it may be shifted above theJ-focal point of the lamp'. To this end a centrally apertured block.8 is soldered or otherwise secured to thelower side of the casing and is .formed in the lower side of the headlight internally screw threaded as shown at 9. to receive and hold a tubular socketmember or burner housing 10 through which the nozzle extends. The aperture 11 in the 'casingis of slightly less diameter than the .corre bular guide carried by the casing, a member move the said slidably mounted member slidably mounted within the tubular guide and throw the flame from the focus of the a burner tip carried by the said member and reflector. normally being in such a position that the RICHARD H. \VELLES. flame is at the focus of the reflector, a lever Witnesses:
connected to the slidably mounted member, ALBERT H. GRAVES, and means coperut ng with the 1ever to EMILIE R055.
