, visors or protectors for Windshields for automobiles.
One of the objects of the invention is to cheapen the cost of construction ofv such devices. I
Another object is to make a device of this character which will automatically latch itself inthe position in which it has been placed in varying its inclination.
Another object is to make a very light structure, which will not rattle and which is not offensively obtrusive.
Another object is to make a structure in which all of the fittings, except the skeleton frame, are adaptable for visors of any length or width.
Another object is to improve the means for holding the parts together and for securing the terminal ends of the frame wire.
Other, further and more specific objects of the invention will become readily apparent, to persons skilled in the art, from a consideration of the following description, when taken in conjunction. with the accompanying drawings, wherein Fig. 1 shows the front end of an automobile with the visor in place.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 38 of Fi 2.
Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 44 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 is a plan view of one corner of the frame showing the hinge members.
In all the views the same reference characters are employed to indicate similar parts.
The frame for the visor is made, preferably, of one piece of wire 10 which may be of any size as the fittings used to hold the parts together are not modified or changed by variation of frame dimensions.
The terminal ends 6 and 7 may be slightly curved so they cannot be pulled out from between the clamping plates 8 and 9. The
clamping platesS and 9 are duplicates and at each corner of the frame are a pair of these plates. Each'plate'has a flat part 13 and integral angularly related curved parts or webs 11and12.
A pair of plates 8 and 9 are brought to gether at the corners of the frame and are riveted throughthe fiat'parts 13. Where":
the wire ends 6 and? meet they-are curved as sho'wn so that they may not be pulled v apart after the platesare joined together.
Beforefthe plates are riveted together a suitable fabric l4, or other suita'ble'material, 1s passedarou idthe frame lOj and stitched, V
as at 15, to hold it in place The Y clamping plates overlie the fabric, one 'on each side and thus hold it at the corners.
Before riveting the plates together members 16 of an angular bracket 19 is placed above the plates, at each end of the frame and rivets 17 and 18 passed through both plates and the fabric and said member of the bracket 19 and headed over.
These brackets, of course, are not placed in the corners of the frame furthest removed from the hinged side but the same plates are used at these corners.
The member 20 of bracket 19 has acircumferential series of protuberances 21 made to! project from one of its faces by the indentations 22 made in its opposite face. A similar bracket 23 has a member 2 for attachment to the member 25 of the top 26 and an angularly related integral member 27 having indentations 28 for cooperation I with the protuberances 21 of the member 20.
The member 27 has as many again indentations as there are protuberances on the member 20. This relation isnot essential but satisfactory. The protuberances on one member register with the indentations in the other The hinge members 20 and 27 are each perforated for screw or bolt 29 which passes throughbothmembers with a spring washer 30 on each side of the members.
A wing nut 81 passes over the threaded end of the screw to compressthe washers to a greater or less extent.
The washersyield and permit some lateral relative movement of the members 20 and 27 when the device is moved on its hinges, in which the screws 29 serve as pintles, as when the inclination of the visor is to be changed.
It is only necessary to apply pressure to the free edge of the frame to move it on its hinges and the protuberances of one member will snap into the indentations of the other and retain the device in its new position.
While I have herein disclosed a single embodiment of my invention, it is manifest that changes in the configuration and disposition of the parts may be made within the scope of the appended claims.
Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A visorfor an automobile comprising a rectangular frame made of wire; a fabric stretched between the frame members and extending around them; two corner clamps at each corner of the frame, each clamp having angularly related curved parts, each part curved less than one-half circle and a flat part, said clamps overlying the wire and fabric at each corner and connected together through the flat parts and means attached to the flat parts at two corners to hinge the device to an automobile.
2. An automobile visor comprising a substantially rectangular frame of wire; a
3. An automobile visor comprising a sub-' stantially rectangular frame of wire; a fabric looped around and stretched over the frame; a pair of clamping plates at each of two corners of the frame, each plate being curved to partly embrace the frame around a corner and having a fiat web bridging the corner over the fabric; an angular bracket member at each corner, means for clamping the plates together about the frame; and means for pivotally supporting the bracket members.
In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe my name.
