Description

P. C. JAMES.
HINGE.
APPLICATION FILED MAY 11. 1916.
Patented Apr. 10, 1917.
UNTTED PATENT PERRY G. JAMES, OF SGIOTA, ILLINOIS.
HINGE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PERRY C. JAMES, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Sciota, in the county of McDonough and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Hinge, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention relates particularly to hinges of that type adapted for use on automobile Windshields.
The primary object of the invention is to simplify and improve the construction and to increase the utility and efliciency of hinges of this general class.
More specifically stated, the objects of the invention are to provide a novel hinge whereby Windshields which have been ineflicient may be made fully efficient, by converting an ordinary shield into a ventilated one, by converting a non-rain-vision shield into a rain-vision shield, and to permit of a much greater range of adjustments than has here tofore been possible.
The invention consists, substantially, in the improvements hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a rear elevation of one side of a windshield in and with which my improvements have been incorporated;
Fig. 2, an edge view, showing a few of the almost unlimited number of adjustments possible;
Fig. 3, an elevation, seen from the inside, of either one of the duplicate links;
Fig. 4, a rear elevation, partly broken away and partly in section;
Fig. 5, a section, taken in the plane of the line 55 in Fig. 4;
Fig. 6, a modification of one of the links; and
Fig. 7, a modification of one end portion of the connector, showing also the spring.
Considering the drawings in detail, 2 denotes the dashboard of an automobile, and 3 indicates one of the side rails thereof. 4 designates the lower and stationary member of the shield, held in a rail 5 fixed by rivets 6 to the rail 3. 7 designates the swinging member of the shield, held in a frame-rail 8 offset from the rails 3 and 5, as shown in Fig. 2. The parts above described are those of a windshield of well known construction.
9 indicates a connector having at each of its ends an offset flange 10 which together with the end portion of the connector body Specification of Letters Patent. Patentgd A131, 10), 191*? Application filed May 11, 1916.
Serial No. 96,860.
forms a cup 10. The edge of the flange is provided with a series of notches 11 and the bottom of the cup with an aperture 12. The flange is provided with opposed slots 13 in which is seated a plate-spring 14. If it be desired that the connector be a sheetmetal stamping, the portion a between the points a, a is omitted.
15, 15 indicate duplicate links, riveted or otherwise secured to the rails 8 and 5 respectively. Each link is provided at one of its ends with an offset flange 16 which together with the end portion of the body of the link constitutes a cup 16. If the links be stampings, the portion 5 of the flange 16 between Z), Z) of each is omitted.
17,17 indicate bosses arranged in a circumferential series in the bottom of the cup 16 and each adapted to seat in one of the notches 11. 18 designates a bolt passing through the aperture 12 in the bottom of the cup 10, through a corresponding one, 19, in
' the cup 16, and through a centrally arranged one in the spring 14, and 20 indicates a nut threaded on said bolt and provided with notches 21 for the reception of a cotter 22 which passes also through an opening in the bolt, said nut being of such size that it passes through the central opening 12 in the connector, thus resting on the spring 14.
In the modifications I have shown the flange of each link as provided with notches 11' and the flange of the connector as having bosses 17-mere mechanical changes of location of these portions.
As will be evident, the bolt-heads and nuts bear respectively on the backs of the cups 16 and springs 14, thus locking each link-cup rotatably to that connector-cup with which it coacts, each coacting pair telescoping one within the other, as shown best in Fig. 4. When the coupling is turned on and relatively to the links 15 (the one on the opposite side of the shield being thus included) the entire shield-member 7-8 will be swung bodily in an arc, either forward or back, the spring 14 yielding to permit the bosses 17 to pass over the protuberances which provide the notches 11, and exerting spring-pressure to return said bosses into said notches when the operator ceases to exert pressure upon the shield. The action of turning the link 15 on and relatively to the connector 9, either independently of the link 15 or together therewith, will without further explanation be clear, as will also the fact that the shield-member 7 -8 may be moved to practically any position desired, such as entirely reversing or rotating it, or throwing it entirely down and substantially at the side of the member 4-5, as indicated in Fig. 2.
Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent the following:
1. In a hinge, a connector having at each of its ends a cup provided with oppositely arranged slots, springs arranged each in a corresponding pair of said slots, a pair of links each of which has at one of its ends a cup facing and telescoped with one of the connector-cups, bolts having each a head bearing on the outer face of the cup of the adjacent link, its stem passed through corresponding apertures in the adjacent spring and connector-cup, and nuts each of which engages one of said stems and bears on the adjacent spring.
2. In ahinge, a connector having at one of its ends a cup provided with oppositely arranged slots, a spring arranged in a corresponding pair of said slots, a link having at one of its ends a cup facing and telescoped with one of the connector cups, a bolt having a head bearing on the outer face of the cup of the link, its stem passed through corresponding apertures in the spring and connector-cup, and a nut which engages said stem and bears on the spring.
3. In a hinge, a connector having at one of its ends a cup provided with oppositely arranged slots and provided also with a series of notches, a spring arranged in a corresponding pair of said slots, a link having at one of its ends a cup facing and telescoped with one of the connector cups, said link having a series of bosses each of which is adapted to enter one of said notches, a bolt having a head bearingon the outer face of the cup of the link, its stem passed through corresponding apertures in the spring and connector-cup, and a nut which engages said stem and bears on the spring.
In witnessiwhereof I hereto subscribe my name at Sciota, in the county of McDonough and State of Illinois, this 29th day of April,
I PERRY 0. JAMES.
