Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 31, 1913.
Patented Sept. 30, 1913. Serial No. 757,871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES SEDLACEK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Lynch, in the county of Boyd. and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storm- Curtains for Vehicles, of which thefollow ing is a specification.
This invention relates. to storm curtains for vehicles and more particularly to those curtains provided with celluloid or other transparent but flexible portions constitut- The objectof the invention is to provide a structure of this character having the edges of the openings constitutingsight openings suitably reinforced with a flexible metallic member adapted to prevent the celluloid from bein broken as hereinafter set forth.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the detailed description which now follows.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is an inner side elevation of a portion of a storm curtain constructed in accordance with the invention, Fig. 2 is a sectional view upon an enlarged scale upon line a2w of F ig'. 1, and Fig. 3 is a detailinsideelevation of a portion of the structure showing a modified form of reinforcing element.
Like numerals. designate corresponding parts in all of the figures of the drawing.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral 5 designates the body of the storm curtain composed of the usual flexible and waterproof material. A sight opening 6 is formed in the curtain 5 and the material at the edges of this sight opening overlaps a celluloid or other transparent and flexible pane7. Stitching 8 passes through the curtain 5 and through two thicknesses of.material indicated at 9 and. 10, which is bent upon itself to form a pocket 11, the edge of this pocket being secured by stitching 12 which passes through said pocket, through the celluloid, and through the material 5 adjacent the edge of the sight opening. Disposed within the pocket 11 is. an endless, elastic, steel wire or rod 13. In the modified form of device shown in F ig, 3, I have substituted for the steel rod or ,WIIB, a coiled metallic spring 14. It has been found that with the ordinary storm curtains provided with celluloid inserts for windows, these celluloid portions soon become cracked and broken due to folding or rolling thereof, By providing the metallicreinforcing elements 13 and ll, unduly close folding or rolling of the curtain is prevented, these metallic reinforcing elements readily resuming their original shape when the curtain is unfolded or unrolled and aiding in preventing cracking and breaking of the celluloid, a/s'will be readily understood. i From the foregoing description. it will be seen that simple and efficient means are here in provided for accomplishing the objects of the invention, but while the element's'shown and described are well adapted toserve the purposes for which they are intended, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise construction set forth, but includes within its purview such changes as may be made withinthe scope of the appended claims.
Having described my invention, what I claim is: v
1. The combination with a body portion of flexible material, having a sight opening formed therein, of a filling of transparent flexible material for said sight opening. a pocket about said sight opening,and an endless, flexible, metallic, reinforcing member seated in said pocket.
2. In a device of the character described, the combination with a body portion of flexible waterproof material having a sight opening formed therein, of a filling of transparent flexible material for said sight opening which constitutes awindow, a'section of material arranged to form a pocket and extending about said sight opening, said transparent material being stitched between said pocket and the material of the body port-ion, and anendless, flexible, reinforcing element seated in said pocket and extending entirely around said sight opening.
3. In a device of the character described,
the combination with a body portion of" parent flexible material for said sight open-' 5 ing which constitutes a Window, a section of material arranged to form a pocket and extending about said sight opening, said transparent material bein stitched between said pocket and the material of the body portion,
and an endless, flexible, metallic, reinforcing 10 elementseated in said pocket and extending entirely around said sight opening.
In-testimony'whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses;
CHARLES SEDLACEK. Witnesses:
