5 Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Head-Lamps for Vehicles, of which the following is e. specification, reference, being hed' totho accoin'nanying drawings o v This invention relates to certain improvements in head lanips for vehicles, and the obgwt of the invention isto provide a novel and improved de ice of this general charac;
ter whereby the lamps of the v'ehiclenre 15 caused to move in unison-with iii-the some general direction as the steering wheels or the vehicle whereby the rays or the lamps are disposed in the path of travel of the vehicle whether the same proceed- 29 ing in a straight line or rounding a curve.
The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combinati and arrangement of the several part of my im-' proved head lamp for vehicles :reby' cerzfi tain important advantages are attained and the device is rendered simpler, le' expensive and otherwise more CORVBDlBL advzintegeons for use, all as will he more fully set forth.
The novelfeatures of the inv" carefully defined in the appen In order that my invention ,e better understood, I will now L 4 describe the some with reference to the aca memy in Fign 1 is view in top pl tor Y6 ls, with an embodiln vent-ion applied thereto; Fig" is-an enlarged detail view, partly in ion section, of my invention as herein embodi Fig. '3 is a fragments side elevation, on an enlarged scale, of the device as illustrated in Fig. 2; Fig. d is an enlarged view in top plan of the operatcoacting ment.
As disclosed in the accompanying draw ings M denotes a motor vehicle of conven- 50 tional construction having each of the forward projecting portions of the side beams 1 of the frame of channel formation, and to the lower flange whereof is secured through the medium of the spaced ears 2 the vertiiiieation of Letters Patent; i

sleeve 3 in which is rotatably so I is? to; be observed that the lower extremityo f-each of the posts 4 is surrounded by 'anexpansible member 10, herein show. as
as is conventional coil spring, interposed 35%: tween the arm 6 and the lower end of tng adjacent sleeve 3 in order to serve to absorb all shockimposed upon the .post at. The outer extremity of each (Ff the arms 6 has pivotally engaged therewith a rod 7 which is in turn pivotally engaged with the bar 8 disposed transversely of'the frame of the vehicle and supported for reciprocatory movement by the guide blocks 9 depending 'from the side beams 1. By this arrangement, it will be perceived that upon endwise movement of the rod or bar 8fthe posts will be caused to move in unison and in the same general direction together with the laihps 5 carried thereby. Fivotally engaged, as at 11, with the lower flange-of one of the side beams 1 is th horizontally disposed arm 12 provide with the laterally and forwardly projecting extension 1d provided with an arcnate slot 15 adapted to accommodate 21 depending lug 16- carried b an extremity of the bar 8 whereby it will be perceived that upon rocking movement being imparted to the arm 12, the bar 8 will he moved endwise. Pivotally engaged with the outer extremity of the arm 12 is a rod 17 having its on osite extremity opcrntively engaged with t e roclr arm 18 carried by the shaft 19,-said shaft 1% being operatively engaged with the steering post 20 of conventional form The rock arm 18 is also adapted to operate the steering mecha post 4; for supporting a lamp 5;
anisin (not shown) for the forward steering wheels S. I alsd find it in practice of edvantage to have the extremities of the rods 7 singularly disposed as indicated at 21, and to have such angular portion Isositioned be tween the'vertically spaced ears 22 carriedthought to be obvious that a head lamp for vehicles constructed in accordance with my invention s of an extremely simple and comparatively IIIQXPSIISIVB' nature and 15 particularly well adapted for use by reason i of the convenience and facility with which be assembled, audit will also be oliwious that my invention is susceptible of some'change and modification Without material do arture from the princi ,les and spirit thereo .and for this reason I onot'vvish to understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation f the several parts herein shown inca'rrying ontmy invention in practice. Iclaim:
I. 'In' combination with a vehicle frame, of a lamp post rotatably supported by said frame, a bar movable transversely of the frame and capable of reciprocatingmovement, an operative connection between the vpost and the bar whereby reciprocating movement of the bar rotates'the post, an
arm pivotally connected-withtthe frame and provided'with alateral extension having an arcuate slot, said bar being provided with a depending lug adapted to be accommodated within the slot, and means for imparting swinging movement to the arm.
2. In combination with a vehicle frame, a
vertically disposed lamp post operatively supported by the frame, a reciprocating bar disposed vtransversely of the frame, a'iiaterally directedarm Carried by'the lamp ghost, a rod in pivotahei'igagement with the bar and the arm of the post, an outwardly disposed arm ,pivotally engaged with the vehicle frame and disposed-in substantially a horizontal plane and provided with a forwardly directed extension having an arcuate slet, said bar being provided with adepending lug adapted to be accommodated within named arm;
3. In combination with the frame of avehicle, a vertically disposed sleeve operatively supported by the frame, a lamp post rotatably supported by the sleeve, an arm.
the slot of the extension, and means for imparting swinging movement to the last mentioned arm. I v
