Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 4, 1917.
Application filed February28, 1917. Serial No. 151,518.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BJon'ouLo Nons'roo, a citizen of the United States, residing at Watford City, in the county of McKenzie and State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements 1n .Dirigible Headlights, of which the following is a. specification, reference being had to the accom 'ianying drawings.
This invention relates to certain improvements in dirigible headlights and has relation more particularly to a device of this general. character especially designed and adapted for use in connection with vehicles of a motor-driven type; and it is an object of the invention to provide a device of this general character having novel and improved means whereby the headlight will be caused to more in unison with and in the same general (l'lreoiion asthc steering wheels.
It is also an object l the invention to pro vide a device of this moral character hav ing novel and improve means \vherebythe same may be supported in applied position.
The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the Several parts of my improved headlight whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device. is ren dered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantage iius for use. all as will be hereinafter more. fully set forth.
Thef'novel features of the invention will hereinafter he definitely claimed.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein-- Figure 1 is an elevational view of af'vehicle illustratin an embodiment of my invention applied t iereto;
Fig. 2 isa fragmentary View in top plan of the forward end portion of the vehicle with my invention as herein embodied applied thereto and 'with certain of the parts indicated by dotted lines;
. Fig. 3 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of a dirigible headlight constructed in accordance herein disclosed;
'Fig. 4 is a View partly 1n sectionand with my invention as partly in elevation of the upper portion of said sleeve can be readily the device as disclosed in Fig. 3 and at substantially right angles to the disclosure in Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 55 of Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 is a sectional View taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Fig. 3.
As disclosed. in the accompanying drawings, A denotes the front axle of a motordriven vehicle and which is of a conventional type. Coaeting with the axle A are the clamping blocks 1 through which is reniovably disposed the. shank 2. the outer end portion of said shank being provided with the perforate head 3 while the opposite end portion of the shank has removably disposed therethrough a 1 in preferably c0 acting with the washer ."i surrounding said shank whereby it will he mreeived that the blocks 1 will be efl'ectively clamped upon the axle A yet capable of being readily and conveniently removed when the requirements of practice may so necessitate.
(i denotes a vertically disposed rod loosely directed. through the perforate head 3 and capable. of axial rotation, and the lower extremity of said rod (3 is provided with the extension 7 preferably at right angles to the rod (a The outer end portion of the extension 7 is reduced. as indicated at 8. and seated within the horizontally disposed sleeve 9 provided with the depending shank 1O loosely directed through the head or block 11. The shank 10 has disposed therethrough a. removable pin 12 whereby it will he perceived that. the sleeve 9 is effectively held against accidental displacement although removed when requi red.
The block or head 11 is adapted to be clamped to the steering rod ll. of any ordinary or preferred type, said clamping means, as indicated at 14., being of any preferred clnlracter.
Surrounding the rod 6 is the annular member" or sleeve 15 which is held against movement longitudinally of the rod 6 through the. medium of the set or clamping screw 16. The annular member or sleeve 15 is adapted to rest upon the upper face of the perforate head 3 whereby a downward movement of the rod is limited. It will also be 30 her 2-3 may be readily bore 18 being of substantially the same cross sectional configuration as the reduced portion 17 so th it the sleeve 19 will be caused torotate in unison with the rod 6." The sleeve 19 is freely positioned .within the upstandin barrel 20, the lower end portion of whici is provided with the flange 21. to provide means whereby the same may be secured to a suitable support such as a mud guard or fender G of n motor-driven vehicle 20 and as indicated by dated liner; .n Fig. 2.
The upper end nor on oi the sleeve 19 is enlarged, as innozat l a; to aiiord a head resting upon lhe h per eJd oi the barrel 20 whereby llh: slev 19 rmaintained as in applied position Sui-rewriting the head 22 is the annular men er 51? held in applied position upon -ai-Z b nd 22 through the medium of llio clamp ng screw 24. As is believed to be scll cvhiem the annular memadjusted either longitudinally or axially of the head 22, as the occasion may require. 4
The annular member 215 is provided with the arms 25 adapted to ali'ord a support for the lamp or headlight l., said lamp or headlight L being indicated by dotted lines in he periphery of the sleeve 19 at a predetermined point internu-diate its length is provided with the annular recess or groove 26 which is adapted to receive the pin 27 disposed through the sleeve 19 and partially intersecting the bore thereof. By this arrangement it will be at once self-evident that the sleeve 19 is effectively held a ainst longitudinal movement indepemlent y of the barrel 20.
As the steering rod R forms no particular part of my present. invention and as the arrangement and operation thereof is believed to be obvious, a detail description and illus tratlon of sald rod and as particularly re lates to its operation has been omitted. This is also true of the axle A.
Surrounding the barrel 2 at a llltkll'ltfmined point mtcrincdiate ils length is lhe split clamp 31 provided with the forwardly directed shank 28 disposed through the tr ss rod 29 interposed between the guards or an fenders G, and coacting with the outer end ortion oi the shank 28 is the nut 30 wherey' it will be at once self-cvident that the truss 29 serves as an additional means to support the barrel 20 and to hold the same against vibration. It is also to be noted that the split of the clamp 3.1 is extended lon itudinally of the shank 28. i
l rom the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that a headlight constructed in accordance with my invention is of an extremely simple and com aratively inexpensive nature and is particu arly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be asseinbled, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification wit out material departure from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the recise arrangement and formation of to several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice, except as hereinafter claimed.
I claim:
1. In combination with an axle of a vehicle, clamping members eo-acting with said axle, a headed shank disposed throu h said clamping members, means carried y the shank and co acting with the clamping members for maintaining said members in operative enga ement with the axle, a lamp supporting ro rotatably supported by the headed shank, and means for rotating said ro 2. A device of vthe character described comprising a rodmounted for rotary movement, means for rotating said rod, a barrel supported independently of the rod, a sleeve rotatably mounted within the barrel and provided with a bore angular in cross sec tion, an end portion of the rod being snugly insertible within the bore of the sleeve but capable of longitudinal movement independently of the sleeve, lamp engaging means carried by the sleeve, and co-acting means carried by the barrel and the sleeve for holding said barrel and sleeve against relative longitudinal movement.
3. A device of the character described comprising a rod mounted for rotary movement, means for rotatingsaid rod, a barrel supported independently of the rod, a sleeve rotatably mounted within the barrel and provided with a bore angular in cross section, an end portion of the rod being snugly inscrlible within the bore of the sleeve but capable of longitudinal movement indepnndcntly of the sleeve, and lamp engaging nu-ans carried by the sleeve.
4. A device of the character described comprising a rod mounted for rotary movenn'nt, means for rotating said rod, a barrel supported indc 'icndcntly of the rod, a sleeve rotatably mounted within the barrel and provided with a bore angular in cross section,-an end portion of the rod being snugly inscrtible within the bore of the sleeve but capable of longitudinal movement independently of the sleeve, lamp en gaging means carried by the sleeve, and means engageable with the barrel intm'me (ll-ale the length thereof to lllord an additional suppoft for the barrel and to hold the same against vibration.
