AUTOMOBILE-LAMP. I
Application filed November 3, 1916.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LEO L. PFEIFER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automobile-Lamps, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to automobile lamps generally and to means for securing the door to the lamp body specifically. My invention aims to provide a securing means which may be very readily applied Without resorting to the use of solder and will also retain its resiliency throughout the life of the lamp. By providing means doing away with all soldered connection, considerable time and labor is saved and in addition to this, the securing means employed by me are much more effective and satisfactory than solder.
A further object of my invention resides in the combination of a securing hook, a thump piece, and a lamp door with means common to both the thumb piece and the securing hook for rigidly securing these latter two to the door frame.
The preferred embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts, and in which:
Figure 1 shows an automobile side lamp mainly in side elevation, but partially in section to disclose my improved type of resilient securing means, I
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view in central section of the upper portion of the lamp door frame and disclosing my invention, and,
Fig. 3 is a view inside elevation of the hook securing means shown detached.
In Fig. 1, the lamp is shown as comprising a main body portion 1, a head portion 2 and a font 3. The lamp body 1 has an open front, as shown at 4, and this opening is designed to be closed by the door hinged at 5. This door comprises a main frame piece 6 and a lens 7 of any preferred construction. The lamp body itself is provided with an inwardly project Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. as, 1917. Serial No. 130,255].
ing annular flange 8, which serves the function of centering the door in its correct position and also as forming hook engaging means or means with which the hook 9 carried bythe door This hook or tongue 9 is stamped out of the plate member shown at l0, so that it projects inwardly toward the lamp and is provided with the hump portion 11, which coacts directly with the flange 8. Reference to F ig. 3 will show that the tongue 9 is stamped out centrally from one of the edges of the plate 10 and that this plate is pro vided with a pair of spaced rivet holes 12. 0n the outside of the door frame 6, there is secured a thumb piece 13 placed there for convenience in opening the door. Ref erence to Figs. 1 and 2 will disclose that this thumb piece is secured to the door frame by means of spaced rivets 14., these rivets being the securing means common to both the hook member 10 and the thumb piece. By resorting to the use of rivets, all soldered connections are dispensed with and inasmuch as the thumbpiece 13 must itself be secured to the door frame, these same rivets are utilized for also securing the hook member in position.
Thus, it will be apparent that I have pro vided a simple type of hook member for re siliently holding the door in its closed position and at the same time securing both this hook member and the thumb piece in their correct positions by the same rivets.
IVhat I claim is:
1. In a lamp, the combination of a body, and hook engaging means thereon, of a door frame, a thumb piece on the outside of said frame, a plate on the inside of said frame, a hook stamped out of said plate and shaped to resiliently engage the hook engaging means on said body, and a pair of spaced rivets passing through both said thumb piece and said hook and also through said frame whereby the latter are secured to the former.
2. In a lamp, the combination of a body having a door-way opening and an annular flange at the edge of said opening, a door frame shaped to closely abut said flange, a
frame is designed to coact.
