Application filed February in, gain" Serial No. 817,822.
To allay/1.0m it may concern:
Be it known that 1, PAUL E. Browne, a
citizen of the United 'Stiites, residing at Delphi, in the county of Carroll, State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Headlights for Auj path of travel. of the front wheels of the automobile, whether the same are traveling in a straight direction or around a curve,
A further object of the invention is to construct a deviceof this character which is extremely simple, eliicient in operation and one which can be applied quickly to a conventional form of automobile.
. WVith these and other objects in View, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and' arrangement of parts to be'hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a front elevationof an'auto mobile, showing the same equipped with the device, Fig. 2 is a sectional View on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view on line 3*3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is'a similar view on line 1- 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a transverse section through the axle looking in the opposite direction to that in which Fig. 3 is taken.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the supporting sills of an auto mobile chassis, which are of the usual construction, as is likewise the steering rod 2. Clamps 3 are provided and are engaged with the sills 1, said clamps serving to rotatably support the vertically disposed rods 4, the upper ends of which being providedv with brackets 5 for supporting the headlights 6. Having their forward ends connected to the lower ends of the rods 4 are arms 7, the rear ends of which are connected to the outervends of the rods 8, said rods having their inner ends connected to the block 9 by the clevises 10. The rods 8 slidably engage the eyes 11 formed upon the outer ends of the bar 12, said bar being supported upon the upper surface of the block 9 so as to prevent sagging of the rods 8. A clamping. ring 13 is engaged upon the steering rod 2 and is provided with a loop 14:, the arms 15 of which have their forward ends spanning the block 9 and pivotally engaged therewith by the connecting pin 16, said pin being encircled by a coil spring 17 so that rattling of the parts is prevented.
It is obvious thatwhen the steering rod 2 is shifted whenguiding the vehicle that the clamping ring 13 will move therewith, thus shifting the loop 14 and thus the rods,8, whereupon the arms 7 are rocked so as .to rotate. the rods 4, which action causes the headlights 6 to project their rays in the line of travel of the front Wheels of the automobile' What is claimed is In combination with an automobile and its steering rod, of headlight supporting brackets rotatably supported by the automobile, arms having their forward ends connected to the lower ends of the bracket supporting rods, a block having its ends pivotally engaged by rods, said rods having their outer ends connected to'the inner ends of arms, a bar. supported by the block and having eyes formed upon its ends for slidably engaging the second named rods, a clamping ring engaged with the steering rod, a-loop ally engaged with, said block, as and for the purpose set forth. 3
In testimony whereof, I aifix my signature, in presence of two witnesses. PAUL E. BROWNE. Witnesses:
