dropped and extended and to be quickly` folded and slid laterally out of the way, of raised and secured at the top of the vehicle cover when not required for use.
' The details of construction, arrangement, and operation of the attachment are as hereinafter described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a vertical cross section of a portion of a vehicle top showing my curtain attachment folded, raised, and secured beneath one of the bows of the top. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1,V showing the curtain folded horizontally and secured by bands or straps. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of a portion of a vehicle top withmy curtain attachment extended and suspended as in use. Fig. 4 4is an enlarged perspective further illustrating the attachment in the same po sition and relation as in Fig. 3.
In the several gures, the Anumeral 1 indicates the curtain proper which may be constructed of leather, fabric, or any other suit ablematerial, and having a se-ries of glasscovered sight-holes 2 and provided with a series of vertical creases or lines of fold, as at 3. The upper edge of the curtain is doubled and provided with clips having swiveled rings 4 by which the curtain is attached slidably to a rod 5 whose attachment and adaptation for adjustment in different positions will now be described. The rod 5 isprovided with an eye 6 which adapts it for pivotal and 'sliding attachment to a rod 'guide or bracket 7 that is secured to the inner side of one of the bows 8 of the vehicle top. The rod may, therefore, be swung horizontally on the bracket or slid vertically on the same as required to place it in the two positions of use and non-use, as shown in the drawing. In other words, when the curtain is required for use, the rod 5 is lowered and its free end inserted in and supported by a spring` catch 9 which is attached to another bow 1() of the vehicle top, and
the curtain 1 is then drawn out or extended on the rod, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, whereby-lt closes the space between the bows 8 and 10; and it is obvious that this arrangement may be employed either on the front` or side of a vehicle. On the other hand, when not required for use, the curtain is folded.
onthe lines 3 and slid along the rod 5 toward the bracket 7 into the position indi- ,cated at 11 by dotted lines in Fig. 1, the rod 5 being at the same ltime slid up on the bracket 7, to the position indicated in Fig. 1 and the rod supported horizontally by straps 12 that are attached to the bow 8 and their free ends provided with a spring catch 13. For holding the curtain in the position indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1, a spring clasp 14 is employed, the same being a thin spring bar attached at one end to the rod adjacent to its eye 6 and the free end of the same being bent downward and adapted to bear upon the body of the rod, which prevents the curtain rings 4 sliding accidentally along the rodand yet permits the curtain to be easily drawn out by manual application of slight force. When the ycurtain is suspended in the position indicated at 11, it is obviously ready for instant use; but, on other occasions, as when it is apparent that the curtain is not likely to be required for such use, it is folded and raised to horizontal position, as indicated at 15 in Figs. 1 and 2, the folds lof the curtain thus extending parallel to, and lying close beneath, the bow 8,

and both the rod and curtain being sup- 1. The combination with a vehicle top,
of an adjustable curtain attachment comprising a curtain proper, a rod on which it is adapted to slide, and a device secured to said top andI serving as a pivot and slide for the rod, and means for supporting the rod in horizontal position, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a vehicle top, of an adjustable curtain attachment comprising a curtain proper, a rod on which it is adapted-t0 findenF braek'et attaeheato the said top *at one side and extending up along the same,l an eye of the rml-beingi adapted to swing and slide on the bracket, and meansfor supportinlg the free' end of the rod together with 4t e curtain folded against it, as shown and described.
3. The combination with awvehicle top and an adjustable curtain attachment comprising a `curtain proper and a rod on Which the ciutain is adapted to slide, means for suplporting the rod. horizontally, a spring c asp attached to the rod at one end and extending along the same, its free end bearing on the ro' and thus serving to hold the curtain in folded and vertical position, and means connected with the ve'- hicle top for su porting the free end of the rod, substantial y as described.; v
The combination with a vehicle top having a .bong-,extending transversely of the same and` vertically on the sides, a b'racket y rings adapted to slide on the rod, whereby it'may be extended or folded thereon, 'and straps attached to the middle portion of the bow' and provided at their free ,ends with engaging devices, whereby they are adapted to /inclose the curtain and rod and support them in horizontal position contigu ous to the vehicle top, as shown `and described.
