ELLSWORTH A. HAWTHORNE, OF BRIDGEIORT, CONNECTICUT.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ELLSWORTII A. Haw- THOR-NE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Lighting Appa- -atus, of which the following description, in
the accompanying drawings, 1s a specification, like characters on the drawings representing like parts. This invention relates to lighting apparatus, and'morc especially, though not exclusively, motor cycles and other vehicles, and when so employed, shows ared rear light, and illuminates a number plate with a white light. y
My invention will be best understood by reference to the following specification, when taken in connection with-the accompanying drawings of one illustrative embodiu'ient thereof, while its scope will be more particularly pointed. out int-lie appended claims.
, In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a lighting apparatus embodying plate being indicated in dotted lines: Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly broken away, and partly shown in section, of the lighting ing thenumber plate in dotted lines; Fig.
3 the apparatus on an enlarged scale, partly broken'away and partly in horizontal section; and Fig. 4- is a sectional view on line 4-'4 of Fig. 3,. looking toward the right.
- Referring to the drawings and to the embodiment of my invention which I have there shown for illustrative purposes, is a supporting bracket having a generabfo'rin of a right angle, and provided with attack .ing ears 6 and 7, which may be attached to any convenient part .of' the motor cycle or other vehicle, as.for example to a mud guard 8, the latter being indicated in dotted lines. Suitable means of attachment may be provided, as for example bolts 9 and 0, passing through the ears 6 and 7, respectively, and the mud guard 8. "he bracket 5 has a horizontal portion 11, and a vertical portion 12, the latter serving as a support for a number plate 13, indicated in dotted lines, .and provided with suitable means of attachment, herein bolts H and l5. passing through the bracket. The horizontal portion 11 of the to electric lighting apparatus-for apparatus, show bracket supports a bat-- l the casing and p 'eil ective .tlireaded into the casin ,able manner 'tery. The casing frame 30. The latter LIGHTING APPARATUS.
Patented M21112 1914:. Serial no, 735,185. r
mcans for clamping the battery casing to the supporting bracket, yet in such a offset tongue 18, ture 19 in the b 1nanncr that 'by simply removingthe bolt 20. the attaching member 17 may be entirely disconnected from the supporting bracket 5, by withdrawing the otl'setportion 19 from the aperture 19. i
The battery casing 16' may serve to contain any suitable form of battery, but herein contains a dry cell :22 of common form. the latter being electrically connected to 'an incandescent electric lamp 23, located witliip a lamp casing 2 1, and having a usual screwthreaded stem 25, passing through and,
The rear wall of the 1 preferably provided with ting element 29, herein a common form, mounted a light-transmit-- red jewel of .in a supporting passes through "and ls'swiveled in ail-aperture 31 in the rear wall of the casing, and is provided with suitable locking means, herein a pair of radi ally disposed pins 32, normally out ofu-cgister with a pair of, notches 33 leading from the aperture 31, and when for any reason it is desired to dispense with the red rear light, the jewel may he eonvenicntl' rcmo-ved by simply rotating the frame to bring the pins 82 into register with the notches 33, after which the pins are'w-ithamp casingQl is"- drawn therethrough. This forms an exceedingly simple, convenient and eiiective means for mounting the red jewel in the lamp casing in such a manner that it may be removed in a moments time to allow the user to avail himself of the White light. This may be done when the motor-cyclist Wishes to make an examination or repairs of the mechanism of the motor-cycle, and in such casesfhe simply removes the red jewelas described, and detaches the lamp and battery, merely removing thev strap 17, as hereinbefore described. I l/Vhile I have herein shown an'd'describ'ed one specific embodiment of my invention for illustrative purposes, and have disbodiment ofthe invention may be made without departing from the principles thereof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire by Letters Patent to procure is ze- 1. In a lighting apparatus,-the combination with a supporting bracket, of an electrio lamp, a lamp-casing, a battery, a battery-casing, a member to whichsaid casings are attached, and means for .detachably at' taching said member to said supporting bracket at two points, said'battery casing being disposed between said points and embraced by said member and said bracket.
I 2. In a lighting apparatus, the combina-' tion with a supporting'bracket, of an electriclamp, a lamp-casing, a battery, a bat tery-casing, an attaching member partially encircling said battery-casing and to which said lamp-casing is attached, and means for I attaching said attaching member to said supporting bracket.
' 3. In a lighting apparatus, the combination with a supporting bracket, of an electric lamp, a lamp-casing, abattery, a battei'y-casing, an attaching member holding said casings and interlocked at one pointwith said bracket, and attaching'means'for attaching said member at another point to said bracket.
4:. In a lighting apparatus, the combination with a supporting bracket, of an electric lamp, a lan1p-casing,-a battery, a battery-casing, an attaching member partially encircling said batterycasing, extending between said casings and attached to said lamp-casing, said member having one end interlocked with said bracket, and means for securing theother end of said member to: said bracket.
In a lighting apparatus, the combinatie! with a supporting bracket, of anelectric lamp, a lamp-casing, a battery, a battery-casing,'.an' attaching member'partially encircling said battery-casing and extend- 'ing between said casings, said lamp having a screw-threaded part extending through said lamp-casing, attaching member and bat-C .tery-casing into electrical connection with said battery, and means for attaching said member to saidbracket. v
6. In a lightiiig apparatus, the combina tion with a supporting bracket; of an electric lamp, a lamp-casing, a battery, a bat-' tery-casing, and an attaching member secured to said lamp-casing and forming a with said bracket a clamp for clamping said battery-casing. V a t In testimony whereof, I have signedmy name to this specification in the presence of two; subscribing witnesses.
