SHIELD 0R GUARD FOR AUTOMOBILES.

tow/W1 ED STA s ATENT OFFIC SHIELD OR GUARD FOB AUTOMOBILES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 24., 1914.
Application filed January 28, 1914. Serial No. 814,930.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLINTON H. GOODHUE, citizen of the United States, residing at Waterville, in county of Kennebec and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shields or Guards for Automobiles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in shields or guards for automobiles, and the object is to provide means for mounting the guard so that it will prevent mud or foreign matter from being thrown against the radiator, and thereby clogging the openings in the front of the radiator and coating the pipes within the radiator, thereby preventing the water from boiling in the radiator and allowing the water to be kept cool under atmospheric conditions.
This guard is adapted more particularly for use on country or unpaved roads.
The invention consists of still other novel features of construction. and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the device ap plied to a car; Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view showing the manner of pivotally mounting the guard to the machine; and Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the manner of supporting the ends of the guard or shield to the mud guards of a machine.
A represents the mud guard, which is provided with a central portion which is preferably of greater length than the width of the radiator, and is connected to the spring bolts 1, 1 by means of pins 2, 2. The pins 2, 2, are provided with openings 3 through which the bolts pass. These pins 2 are then passed through metal straps 4, 4, and the ends of the pins have cotter pins 5 passing therethrough for fastening the pins 2 against movement. The ends of the guard or shield flare upwardly from the central portion at an acute angle, and connected to the edges of the ends are snap hooks 6, 6 by means of flexible connections, such as straps 7. These snap hooks 6 are connected to rings 8 fastened to the mud guards 9 for supporting the shield or guard in a horizontal position.
When it is desired to crank the machine, the guard is released from the mud guards, so that the guard or shield A will assume a vertical position or hang below the radiator, so that the crank of the machine can bemanipulated by the operator for cranking the machine. After the engine has been cranked, the shield can again be returned to normal or horizontal position before starting the machine.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that I have provided a very simple contrivance which can be attached or detached quickly and easily by simply disengaging the hooks from the mud uards and removing the pins from the guard.
I claim:
In a motor propelled vehicle, the combination with a radiator and'mud guards, of a guard having a central portion and flared ends, means for removably connecting the central portion of the guard adjacent the lower front edge of, the radiator, so that the central portion normally lies in a horizontal plane, and means connected to the ends of the guard for removably connecting the guard to the mud guards whereby the guard will be held in a horizontal position.
In testimony whereof I afiix mysignature in the presence of two witnesses.
CLINTON H. GOODHUE.
