' AUTOMOBILE-HOOD. v
- Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed October 8, 1919. Serial No. 329,233.
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that 'I, LORENZO NonviiLL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at the cit of St. Louis, State of issouri, United tates of America, have invented a certain new and useful Automobile-Hood, of which a full, clear, and exact description as will enable any one skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theacoompanying drawin s, formin part ofthis specification.
y prior means for insulating automobile hoods which comprises applying removable sections of insulating material to the inner surfaces of the sections of the hood. The
present invention relates to improved clamping means for quickly and removably attaching the insulating sections to the hood sections without the necessity of making any openings in the hood sections and without the use of rivets or bolts. f
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my improved clamping means Figure 1 is a side view of an automobile.
hood of common construction, and showing the position of the clamps; Fig. 2 is a cross section along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but illustrating a modified'form of clamp; and Fig. 4 is an enlarged View showing two of the clamps of Fig. 2 more in detail.
In the usual automobile hood construction 1, the edges of sections of the hood are provided with spaced extensions, which extensions are bent into circular shape to form hinge members, the extensionson the edge of one hood section alternating with the extensions on the edge of the adjacent hood section whereby the axes of these ex-i tensions can be brought into line and the .hinge rod or pivot .B nserted. In Fig. 1,
the extensions on the upper edge of one of the upper hood sections are indicated by the numerals 3 and those on the upper edge of the adjacent upper hoodsection by the numerals 4.
A removable insulating section 5fof as bestos board or other suitable material is provided for each of the hood sections and it is to means for holding these insulating sections in position that this invention is particularly directed. Thehood sections are usually provided with inwardly turned stiffening flanges 7 between the extensions which form the hinge members the following is such atcnt No. 1,226,576 describes (see Fig. 4), and my improved clamp comprises a strip of bendable material, preferably steel, which embraces a down turned flange 7, and extends through the member on the adjacent hood section and the hood section carrying the flange. The upper end of the clamp bears upon the outer surface of' the hood section and the lower end is bent in a direction substantially parallel to the hood section, and in a'position to form a space between it and said hood section for the reception of the edge of the insulating section 5.
It will be noted that the arrangement of.
the clamp is such with respect to the sur- Patented'Jan. 11, 1921. I
'60 space between a hinge faces of the flange and the hood section that when theclamp is bent into position it is held against removal by opposing surfaces only and without rivets or other independent means of attachment. Clamps 2 may be positioned wherever desired, it be ing sufficient to havetwo or three of these on each edge of each hood section where it is hinged to another section.
scribed the form of clamp 10 illustrated in Fig. 3 may be substituted in cases where the hood sections are. not provided with flanges, such as 7. ,As' will be apparent from the drawings, the clamps 10 are riveted to the insulating sections 5 and passed through the same 0 enings as in the case of clamp 2 finally being bent down to' embrace outer portions of the hood sections. 'The lower edges of thelower insulating sections may be held by clamps such as 11 in instances Clamps 8,riveted to the lower edges of the lower insulatwhere the lower edges of the lower hood p sections are turned outward as in Fig. 3 instead of inward as in Fig. 2.
The advantages. of my improved clamp ing means lie in cheapness and simplicity, and particularly in the ease of installation and removal of the insulating sections, it being unnecessary todrill any holes in the hood section to provide means for holding the insulating sections in place.
Having fully described my invention what I'claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. The combination with an automobile hood formed in sections, of sections of in- .sulating material for the hood s ections,'and' clamps of bendable material extending around .edges of the hood sections andadapted to hold the insulating sections in position.
2. The combination with an automobile hood formed in sections having spaced exembracing a portion of the outer surface of a hood section, said clamps passing around edges of the hood sections between' spaced extensions forming hinge members.
3. The combination with an automobile hood formed in sections having spaced extensions forming hinge members and inwardly projecting flanges between the hinge members, sections of insulating material for the hood sections,- and clamps of bendable material embracing a portion of an insulating section and a portion of the outer surface of a hood section, said clamps also embracing opposite sides of one of the aforesaid flanges on a hood section whereby the clamps are held in position by opposing surfaces.
. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal.
