Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 6, 1922.
Application filed February 7, 1920. Serial No. 357,087.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALFRED GoLDn, a German citizen, residing at Gera, Reuss, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supporting Frames for Windshields for Automobiles or Other Vehicles, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to supporting frames for wind-shields and more particularly to a class of such devices equipped with means for enabling th distance between the fastening points between the car and the windshield or pane holder to be adjusted as desired.
The object of the present invention is to provide for wind-shields a supporting frame of strong durable and comparatively inexpensive construction capable of enabling a wind-shield to be readily arranged in proper position at the front of a vehicle and adapted to effectually prevent a wind-shield from dropping or sagging from its normal position.
The supporting frame, according to this invention, differs from known devices of this kind in that it is made from two fixed parts positioned one above the other on each arm. These parts may be swung only in a horizontal plane but cannot be rotated in a vertical plane. The tube and its stiffening member are connected together at their free ends so that the tube is well supported. I
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction within the scope of the claims may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawing, in which like characters of reference designate corresponding parts tachlng-pwots a may be varied and there in the several views Figure 1 is a front elevation of a windshield supporting frame constructedin accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the supporting frame In the accompanyingdrawing, in which is illustrated the preferred embodiment of the invention, the arms of the frame are fastened to an automobile body at a and each arm of the frame consists of an upper part 2' and a lower part k. The upper part is composed of two members m and a, the part m being tubular and the part a consisting of a rod telescoping into the tubular part m.
The lower part is is composed of two members p and g, the member p consisting of an inclined rod or brace which extends upwardly from the bottom of the arm at the pivot a thereof to the outer end of the tubular part m and the part g consists of a bracing rod arranged at an inclination and connected at the outer end to the outer end of the telescoping rod n. The lower rear end of the inclined bracing rod or member 9 is connected by a'double joint link 0 with the bracing rod or member p. The double joint link is arranged at an inclination, as clearly shown in Figure 3 of the drawing, and the pivots 0 and 0 of the double joint link are arranged at the terminals thereof. The pivot or joint 0 is located at a point intermediate of the ends of the inclined bracing rod or member p. The tubular part m and the stiffening rod 37 forms a swinging bracket which is movable horizontally only and the link 0 and the bracing rod or member g are adapted to swing laterally with the horizontally swinging bracket in the adjustment of the supporting frame and the said bracing or supporting rods or members 12 and g and the link 0 are adapted to swing as the telescoping member it moves inwardly or outwardly. The pane h of the windshield is supported in the usual manner upon the telescoping rods or members a. The telescoping rods or members a constitute wind-shield holders or carriers and are drawn out of their respective tubes m to a greater or less extent to position the windshield as desired at the front of the vehicle. The wind-shield is adjustable at will and the distance between the wind-shield and the at- V or members p and g to adjust themselves to a pair of supporting frames comprising horthe telescoping operation of the rods or members at.
hat is claimed is l. A supporting frame for wind-shields, including a horizontally swinging tube pivoted at its inner end and provided with an inclined brace located beneath the tube and connected to the outer end of the same to stiffen the said tube, a telescoping rod slidable in the said tube and provided with an inclined brace or stiffening member located below the said rod, and a double joint link connecting the lower end of the bracing and stiffening member of the telescoping rod with the brace of the horizontally swinging tube and pivoted to the latter intermediate of the ends thereof.
2. The combination with a windshield of izontally swinging tubes having inclined braces located beneath the tubes and connected with the outer ends thereof, telescoping rods carrying the wind-shield and slidable into and out of the said tubes and provided with rigid inclined bracing members located below the said rods, and inclined links pivoted to th rear ends of the bracing members and hinged to the braces of the said tubes at points intermediate of the ends of the said braces.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my signature.
ALFRED GOLDE.
