ROBERT BONER, or CHICAGO, ILLINoIs.
v AUTOMOBILE SHADE.
Application med January s, maa. serial No. 526,696.
a curtain shade of two loose plies is provided and the supporting frame interposed between the plies. This gives the complete device a neat and finished appearance.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the character described having a catch by means of which the curtain may bel locked in vits rolled position.
A further object of my invention is to rovide a device of the character described,
' 1n| which the curtain may be easily removed and exchanged for a new curtain.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, in whlch i Fig. 1 is a whole view of an embodiment of my invention operatively applied,
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the device with a portion broken away to reveal the collapsible frame. y
Fig. 3 is a to planv view of the mechanism illustrated 1n Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4 is a sectional view along the line 4-v-4 of Fig.- 3.
My invention relates to an improvement over the structure disclosed in my ap lication for patent led in the United tates Patent Ollice on February 7, 1921,'and of which the Serial Number is 443,139.
In carrying out my invention, I make use of a rod 1, which is mounted by means of screws 2 in parallel relation to the 'upper frame of the windshield 3 of a motor vehicle 4. The rod 1 is substantially rectangular in cross section. I
-A pair of brackets 5 and 6 are slldaby disposed upon the rod 1 by means of shaped runners 7 and 8, the runners 7 and 8 being an integral part of the brackets 5y and 6, respectively. The brackets 5 and Gare rigidly connected one to 'each end of a metal strap 9. For this purpose the strap 9 is provided with laterally bent portions 10 and 11 and rivets- 12 are employed to X the portions 10 and 11 to the brackets 5 and 6, respectively.
A shade roller 13 of theordinary type. having a spring against which the roller is turned is operatively supported by the .brackets 5 and 6 adjacent theiry outerends,
as shown at 14 and 15.
A curtain shade n comprising two loose plies 16 and 17 formed by doublingav single shade back on itself -is arranged to be rolled up 'on the shade roller.13 so that its ends are close to the roller 13,
A collapsible frame 18 having the shape of va parallelogram is provided for lending rigidity to the shade when vunrolled. The collapsible frame 18 is disposed intermedi-v ate the plies 16- and 17 of the shade so that it is invisible and not exposed to dust or to moisture. The'frame 18 is composed of four rods or bars 19, 20. 21- and 22 which are ivotally mounted with respect to oneanot er. The - bars 19 and 20 are pivotally connected at 23 to one another and the bars 21 and 22 arepivotally connected to one another at 24. The opposite ends of the bars are connected so that the bars 2O and 2l are pivotally connected to a link 25, which link is securely fastened intermediate the length of the strap` 9. The ends of the bars 19 and 22 are pivotally connected to the ends of a second link 26, which link. is securely fastened to an angle strip 27, which in this case is made of brass. A
spring clip 28 is formed integral the link 26 and is arranged to engage the link 25 when` the frame 18 is collapsed, i. e., when the shade is rolled completely up on the roller 13 and in an inoperative position.
The shadeis arranged to pass under the angle pie'ce'27 and a stud bolt 29 is provided on the angle piece 27 and projects through the shade. `A U-shaped ornamental bar 30 having its ends 31 closed, is placed upon the lower end of the shade and is secured thereto by means of an ornamental nut'32, which is arranged to engage the stud bolt 29.
i dditional` rods 33 and 34 are provided on thel inner side walls of the motor vehicle 4 so that the'runners 7 andy 8 may be placed thereon, if it is desired to shut oft light from either of the two sides by means of the shade mechanism described.
From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. Normally, when not in use, the shade is rolled up tight upon the roller 13 and the clip 28` yieldably locks the frame 18 in a collapsed position. The clip 28 prevents the shade from unrolling lby the weight of the frame 18 when the car passes over rough portions of the road. lf light is entering a portion ofthe windshield 3 and it is desired to shield the eyes of the driver therefrom, the nut 3Q is grasped in the hand and the-shade is pulled down, releasing the clip Q8 from the link 25.' The vweight of the frame 18 acting against the tendency of the spring in the roller to pull the shade up will bring about a balanced condition and the shade will remain in exactly the position to which it is drawn.
One of the important features of this device is that it is extremely neat in appear ance and the operating mechanism is entirely concealed. It is also easy to replace the shade when it has become worn out.
Should the light shift from one side of the wind shield to the other, it is merely necessary to slide the runners 7 and 8 along the rod l to the opposite end of the wind shield. lf the light changes to one of the two sides of the car, then the runners 7 and 8 are supported upon one of the two rods 33 and 34 and the device is used in precisely the same manner as described.
One of the important improvements of my invention is that the -frame 18 is entirely enclosed and the device is therefore neat in s appearance.
I claim:
1. A device of the character described. comprising a roller, a shade to be wound around said roller, said shade comprising two loose plies, 'and a collapsible reenforc- Maaate ing frame, interposed between the plies of said shade. y
2. A device ofthe character described comprising a spring actuated roller, a curtain shade arranged to be Wound upon said roller, said shade comprsing two loose plies, and a collapsible frameinterposed between the plies of saidshade for reenforcing said shade when unwound from saidy roller.
3. A device of the character described comprising a spring actuated roller, a curtain shade arranged to be wound upon said roller, said shade comprising two loose plies, a collapsible frame interposed between the plies of said shade for reenforcing said shade when unwound from said roller, and means associated with said frame for yieldingly lockingsaid frame when collapsed, as when said shade is" fully wound on said roller.
4. A device of the character described comprising a pair of brackets arranged to slide longitudinally upon a supporting rod,
a strap connected intermediate said brack ets, a spring actuated roller operatively mounted on said brackets, a shade comprising two loose plies arranged to be wound upon said roller, and a collapsible frame connected intermediate said strap and the outer end of said shade to reenforce and support said shade when unwound from said roller.
5. A device of the character described comprising a pair of brackets arranged to slide longitudinally upon a supporting rod, a strap connected intermediate said brackets, a vspring actuated roiller (operatively mounted on said brackets, a shade coinprising two loose plies arranged to be wound upon said roller, a collapsible frame connected intermediate said strap and the outer end of said shade to reenforce and support said shade when unwound from said roller, and a. locking means for yieldably locking said frame in a collapsed position when said shade is wound upon said roller.
