PROTECTOR FORCELLULOID CURTAIN-WINDOWS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 25, 1920.
Application filed November 13, 1919. Serial No. 337,840.
curtains such as are used on automobiles These curtains have windows made of transparentrinaterial such as celluloid which is of 7 a flexible character in order that the curtains may be folded up and packed away in the machine when not in use. Celluloid is largely if not wholly employed where the curtains are detachable, and notwithstanding the character of the material the celluloid panes become broken by the force of the wind against them, which is strong in pro portion to the speed at which a car. may be traveling.
It is therefore, the object of my invention to provide means whereby the celluloid window panes in automobile curtains are pro tected when in use and which also enables the curtains to be rolled or folded up without any interference when not in use, as shall appear from the more particular description to follow in connection with the accompanying drawings, of which:
Figure 1 is an elevation of an automobile hood curtain, parts being broken away, having a celluloid window with my invention applied and Fig. 2is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1. .7
One or both sides of the celluloid window pane -lmay be inclosed by the protecting means. This means consists of an open wire mesh formed of small wires 2 which cross each other and provide ample space for the sight. Preferably, the spaces may be four or five inches, it being only necessary to provide a wire mesh of suflicient strength to reinforce and protect the celluloid window pane against the force of the wind. The wires constituting the mesh are free from any direct attachment with the celluloid pane and saidwires are free from connection with each other where they cross. This is in order that the wire mesh may have a desirable degree of flexibility so that the curtain may be rolled up or folded when detached. It is desirable also that the wire shall be of small gage in order not to obstruct the view through the celluloid window pane. The ends of the wire forming the protector or mesh are secured by a marginal plyor strip 3 which surrounds the opening in the curtain and secures the celluloid window pane inposition. As shown in Fig. 2, the ends of said wires inclose or extending around the edges of the celluloid window pane and the marginal window strips -31,- may be stitched or otherwise secured along both edges through the celluloid and the edges of the curtain -4.- surrounding the window opening.
Of course, it will be understood that the wire mesh may vary in the distances between the individual wires, keeping in mind the factors controlling its use, to-wit: suitable'strength to prevent the celluloid pane bulging under the force of the wind, as well as flexibility and a noninterference with the vision through the said window pane.
Having described my invention, I claim:
The combination with a flexible curtain having an opening therein, and a flexible window pane permanently attached to said curtain, of a protector for said window pane arranged on one side thereof and supporting the same against the force of wind exerted in the direction of said protector, said protector consisting of an open wire mesh formed of small disconnected wires which loosely cross each other, the spaces between said wires being relatively large to admit of ample vision through the window pane, and the ends of the wires forming said mesh being secured at the margin of thesaid pane whereby the curtain may be rolled up or folded when not in use. I
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
JORDAN ROBB.
