UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANCOIS RICHARD, 0F CLEVELAND, OHIO, ASSIGNOR T0 THE RICHARD AUTO MFG'.
, COMPANY, 0F CIZIFELAND,r OHIO.
WIND-SHIELD.
Specication of Letters Patent.y
Patented Oct. 28, 1919.
Application led January 15, 191-7. Serial No. 142,478.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANoIs RICHARD, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing at 7800 Finney avenue, Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga. and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wind-Shields, of which the following is a specication, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.
This invention relates to an improvement in the type of wind shield now in common use in automobiles.
My object, besides providing a strong and sightly structure, is to minimize the tendency of a wind shield to become obstructed by the collection of sediment, rain or sleet so as to hinder a discerning vision therethrough. A further object is to facilitate the manipulation of the glass portions thereof as occasion may require.
IVith the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arran ement of parts as hereinafter more speci cally described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
Adverting to the drawings: Figure I is an elevation of a wind shield embodying my invention.
Fig. yII is a section on line IIf-II of Fig.
Fig. III is a section on line III-III of Fig. I.
Fig. IV is an end elevation with certain inside parts drawn by dotted lines.
Fig. V is a partial section of one detail of construction. y
Supported upon an arcuate cowl A1 is a supporting frame 2 having a pair of end supports 3 andfa middle support 4 having its to equally elevated. Upper and lower cross races 5- and 6 are engaged to extend between and stiften the supports. The end supports 3 are of hollow formatmn as appears upon inspection of Fig. III and each is provided with an upright row of openings 7, two of which, namely, the one at the bottom and the second'from the top extend through both sides to open out through the outer sides. The support 4 is likewise provided with openings 8 similarly arranged opposite the openings 7. v
Pivotally mounted between the sets of openings 7 and the openings 8l by studs 9 eX- tending therethrough, are glass shutters 10 having their ends ground on four sides and firmly seated in suitable metal caps 11 which are secured to the studs. Interiorly of the supports 3 each of the studs 9 carries a pinion 12 and extending alongside all of the pinions so as to be adapted to mesh with dif fering num-bers thereof are a pair of racks 13 and 14. The length of these racks is so contrived that the movement of one may or may not cause a corresponding movement of the other. As shown, the upper rack 13 is normally in engagement with the two upper pinions while the lowergrack 14 normally engages with the four lower' pinions. Each of the racks is spaced a suitable distance from the ends of the support 3 and from the other rack in order to enable a reciprocal movement thereof. The two studs 9 which are second from the top' and the lowermost studs extend through the outer sides of the supports 3 where they are each provided with knurled caps such that they may be readily turned by hand and in consequence rotate each its own pinion 12 which is thus caused to actuate one or the other of the racks and ences of the persons seated therebehind or the necessities which the Weather conditions may develop in order for the dr1ver`of the automobile to see therethrough his side irre? spective of vision through the other side.
I claim 1. A wind shield comprising a serles ofv superposed shutters, pinions thereon, a p air of racks adapted to engage with dii'ermg numbers of inions and to have endwise engagement wlth each other, means for rotating one of said pinions to move either one or both racks depending upon the direction of movement imparted. v
2. A Wind Shield comprising a series of superposed shutters, pinions thereon, a. pair of racks adapted to engage With differing numbers of pinions, means for rotating one of said pinions to move the lower rack and hence the othei` rack and pinions in unison therewith and means for independently 10 moving the upper rack relative to the lower. Signed by me, this 5th day of J anuery,
FRANQOIS RICHARD.
