PATEN'mn AUG 1 1871 UNITED STATES PATENT GFFICE.
HENRY I. GODWIN, OF WINDSOR, NORTH CAROLINA.
IMPROVEMENT IN DASH-BOARDS FOR VEHICLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 117,619, dated August 1, 1871.
one within the other, and havin g the dash-sheet secured between them, as hereinafter described.
Figure l is a face view of my improved dash. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of the same. Fig, 3 is a bottom view of a modiied form of the rame.
In constructing' my improved dash I flrst provide a metal frame, A, in a single piece, of the size and form of the required dash, and having feet a for securing it to the carriage. One side ofthe frame I recess for about one-half its thickness, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to leavea raised portion or iiange, c, on one side around the outer edge of the frame. I next provide a frame, B, to iit within the recessed portion ofthe frame A, as shown in Fig. 1. I then cut the dash-sheet out of leather, metal, or other suitable material and t it within the recessed side of frame A, as shown in Fig. 2, and then iit the frame B in place against it, as shown in Fig. l, and fasten the frame in place by passing the screws 'L' through it and the sheet into the frame A. In this manner the dash-sheet is fastened securely in place, its outer edges being clamped iirmly between the two frames, and also held by the screws, while the raw edge is covered and protected by the iiange of frame A, as shown. The frames may be made of malleable iron, brass, or other material, and may be decorated by silvering, painting, or otherwise, and the sheet C may be made of leather, sheet metal, canvas, wood-veneer, or
other suitable material, which may be ornamented in any suitable manner. In'ease the sheet becomes torn or injured the frame B may be detachedthe sheet removed, a-nd a new one inserted in its place, and this without removing the dash-frame from the carriage. The inner and outer frames are both provided with the usual upright cross-bar at the middle, so that the sheet may be made in two` pieces by bringing their edges together under the cross-bars, so as to be concealed from sight. 'll-his arrangement also obviates the necessity of replacing a. broken dash by an entire new one, as, when only one end of the sheet is injured, it may be removed and a new piece substituted, the old portion in the other end being allowed to remain.
A dash-board constructed on my plan is cheaper, stronger, lighter, and more ornamental in appearance than those heretofore in use and when broken it can be readily repaired by :any person of ordinary intelligence.
Another manner of constructing the frame is illustrated in Fig. 3, where the frame is shown as made in a single piece, with its bottom bar slotted the whole length, and its outside bars grooved on their inner edges, so that the sheet or body can be shoved into place through the bottom bar. Them however, the frame is constructed in this mannerrit must be removed from the carriage before the sheet can be inserted or removed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- A dash-frame for carriages, consisting of the frame A, and the frame B made to iit therein, whereby the body C is held in place and has its edge covered, substantially as described.
