UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FERDINAND DRLICA, 0F DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO FRANK BEST. OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
AUTOMOBILE-HOOD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 27, 1919.
Application filed April 26, 1918. Serial No. 231,033.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FERDINAND DRLICA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new anduse- 'ful Improvement in Automobile-Hoods, of
which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to automobile hoods and has for its object a hood provided with a concealed hinge at its top where the two leaves hinge together. It has been customary heretofore to use at this place an eX- posed hinge. The concealed hinge or watershed. hinge that has been used at the sides of the hood has been an impossible construction for use at the top of the hood for it will not open out in the proper direction and if used at all at the top would have to have its parts exposed instead of being under the hood, which is necessary to make it concealed.
My improved form of hinge may also be used at the side with a slight modification, for the hinge is capable of opening upin either direction when the elements are designed with this end n view.
In the drawings,- v
Figure l is a perspective of the hood showingthe hinges in place.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 1s a fragment of either the cowl or radiator seat for the hood.
The hood is made up of the usual two leaves of two sections which hinge at the top and with the sections hinged together at the sides. Where the leaves are hinged together at the top the hinge must open outward and prevent opening inward, while at the sides where the two sections hinge together the hinge must open inward and avoid opening outward. The so-called water-shed hinge of the Wright Patent #829,498 is in quite general use but this hinge only opens one way and it can only be made to 0 76h one we Y namel with the sections folding toward the side where the hinge parts are located and away from the concealed side. Obviously this hinge can, therefore, he used to little advantage on the top of the hood as the parts could not to use this common piano type be concealed. It is, therefore, customary hinge.
My hinge is a strictly concealed hinge and usable either at the top or side with a slight modification. It comprises a pair of pintles a, a connected at each end by a yoke 32. The stock forming the leaf is folded upon itself for some distance and then formed into an eye a of just slightly less lengthithan the hood. This forms what I term an inset eye, for it is inset from the edge of the leaf. The tops of the yoke arms form abutments preventing the hinge opening inward. The ends of the pintles a, a protrude at both ends of the hood and may be seated in the grooves d, d in the cowl or radiator ledge. The yoke b is formed 'so that its inner surfaces diverge from top to bottom to .allow the leaves to swing by the vertical position so that they will hold themselves up. The folded edges of the leaves almost meet when the leaves are in the usual position for service. It will, therefore, be apparent that the hinge is a completely concealed one.
The same general principle is adopted in the hinge shown in Fig. 3, which is the side hinge. The pintles e-, e are connected by a bar f. Thisbar has its side abutting against the upper section so that the upper section does not hinge with respect to the bar. At the lower end the bar is given an arcuate shape and the lower section of the leaf turns upon the pintle and around the arcuate surface. .The upper pintle is considerably inset while the lower pintle is inportion. This lug is integral with the bar f.
What I claim is:
1. A hood, having a pair of leaves hinged together blindly at the top and each having an inset and concealed eye, and a pair of pintles one passing through each eye and adapted to seat on the cowl and on'the ra- Q eowm diator, and a connector for rigidly connecting the two pintles.
In a hood, a pair of sections each provided with a concealed and inset eye, a pair 5 of pintles one passing" through each of said eyes, and 2:, connecting member for holding said pintles in a permanent relative position so that the sections are always held together as a unit and are removable from their seats as a unit. 10
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand on the 20th day of April, 1918.
FERDINAND DRLICA.
