ADJUSTABLE STEP FOR AUTOMOBILE RUNNING BOARDS.
Application filed May 27, 1922. Serial No. 564,024.
' ments in an Adjustable Step for Automobile Running Boards, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in an adjustable step for automobile running boards, and has for its object a step composed preferably of two-parts arranged to be fitted together so as to accommodate a the rear portion to fit snug up against the machine frame and the front edge to snugly contact with the front edge of the running board.
By means of the sliding feature the step can be adjusted-to fit the running board in the event the same should become out of alignment and at the same time avoiding a space between the rear and the frame work or body of the machine.
The step is made out of durable light ma terial the surface of the plate or foot section provided with a ridge or uneven or irregular surface so as to prevent slippage. The extreme front is provided with a scraper by which mud can be removed from the shoe,
and the step in general ornamented to suit convenience in order to make a neat and unique appearance when placed in position on the running board.
Figure 1, is a perspective view of our invention shown in position, on the running board.
Fig. 2, is a top plan view.
Fig. 3, is a side view.
Fig. 4., is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5, is a detail perspective View of our improved adjustable step detached from the running board. I I
In the general construction of our invention we provide a step preferably composed of two sections A and B. The section A is preferably termed a foot-plate, the surface of which is provided with elevations or corrugations 6 to provide a roughened surface for the foot so as to prevent slippage.
This plate is provided with apertures 7 through which screws or the like are inserted for fastening the. plate to the running board 8. v
The front surface of the plate is provided with a downwardly extending flange 9 which is suitably bent to form a scraper '10. This is preferably designed for removing mud from the shoe beforeentering the automobile.
The frame which comprises theplate is provided with a cut-away portion 11 which fits over the finishing strip generally attached, to the front edge' of the running board, and the bottom of the plate is provided with suitable projections 12 which rest upon the running board and hold the plate in firm position. narrow as well as a deep step; thus allowing I The section B section, the rear edge 13 is to be brought in communication or contact with the. frame or body of the machine, and it is provided with apertures -15 through which fastening devices are inserted for attaching the same to the running board. This section is provided is the sliding or adjustable,
with aflange 16 which fits over the side edge I of the plate A so as 'to make'a close'joint of neat appearance.
This adjusting plate B may be ornamented to suit the convenience and at the same time this section acts as a toe plate to prevent the toe of the shoe from marring or scratching thev polished surface of the ma-.
chine frame or body. I
v The essential feature ofthis structure of plate is to make the same of two sections to be adjusted to accommodate any width of running board.
Having fully describedour invention what we claim, is:
A step of the character described comprising an ornamented foot plate having a frontcontacting flange, a scraper formed by said flange, said plate attached to the run-' ning board and a toe section slidably mounted on said plate and brought in contact with the body of the machine, thereby taking the fulldepth of the running board, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof, we have signed our names to this specification, in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.v
