' JOHN nfoAnP /iiLL, 0m entra n,'oonnnoriou rg jf AUTOMOBIL noon FASTENER."
Application in a oct b r 5,1922. serialnofssasser T 0 all whom itmay comm-1.
Be it known that I, JOHN F. CARPMIIL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of .Connecticut, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Automobile Hood Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an automobile hood fastener and among the objects of the invention are the provision of an article of this character which is simple in construction and highly efficient in pulling the hood over the engine down tight and at the same time putting a pressure against the side of the hood so as to eliminate or reduce as far ossible rattle. n the drawing accompanying and forming part of the present specification, I have shown in detail a form of embodiment of the invention which to enable those skilled in the art to practice the same will be set forth fully in the following description. Obviously I amnot restricted to this disclosure. I may depart therefrom in a number of .respects within the scope of the invention defined by the claims following said descripseen from the gine which I havenot represented because it forms no part of the invention.
Theengine is covered by a hood 3, the sides 4 of which practically generallyduplicates of each other are pivoted to the body of the hood in the ordinary fashion so that either side 4 can be swung up to obtain ac-;
cess to the engine when required. These sides 4: are in action, subjected to considerable vibration and this causes objectionable noises, and the primary purpose I have in view is to eliminate as far as possible these noises. As a matter of fact in my copending application Ser. No. 592,555 filed October 5, 1922, I show a structure where I have in view the same general motives.
Thesidese are normally held downtime;
or more holding down members su'ch as those denoted in a-general wayby 5 Inpractice there --'arez.generallytwo of these holding-.
down members associated withveach of the sides. The holding down "member 5 shown involves a tubular body 6 which incloses a piston 7 having what is shown at its upper end, the head 8. The piston rod 7 isi; as
5 shown, surrounded by a coiled spring 9, the
upper end of-whichbears against the head while the lower end bears against the lower end of the tubular body'6 throughwhich 7 the piston rod 7 extends. The spring, therefore, acts constantly to longitudinally sepa-' rate the two main elements of the holding downmember 5.- Asshown,-the rodv Tex-J tends through an opening 10 in the top'of the semi-spherical piece 11 which: is] attached rigidly to the chassis 2 in some proper manner. The rod has-at. its lower end a foot 12, to prevent the rod from being pulled from the semi-spherical body 11. although the rod 7 is free to swivel or in fact move universally.
The upper endo-f the' tubular body 6 is closed by the cap 13 which may be driven or otherwise closely fitted onto the tubular body so as to close the upper end thereof. 1
The 'cap l3 may have on its upper side the third portion let to facilitate its movement when required. In addition to this, it may have the lateral finger-pieces 15 by which I the sleeve or tube 6 can be whenrequired lifted. The element'5 inaddition -to applying a holding-down effect to the sideet of the hood 3, also applies a lateral pressure thereto as. I will hereinafterexplain.
= The side lniay have at a proper height the keeper or catch member-.17 cooperative as shown, with'the hook'18 on the'upper end of the shank 19, the shank-having fas-.
tened thereto as by the pin 20, the pad 21 usually of rubberiand which is intended to bear against theouter surface of theside 4c.
The shank 19 has on its roar'side' an upa l per portion, the lug 22,011 which is flexibly mounted as by pivoting at 23 between the a ears 2% which extend outwardly from the.
What I claim is:.
1. In a device of the class described, the combination of a hold-down member, a catch member to be attached to the side of an automobile hood, and a shank pivotally connected to the hold-down member, having a soft pad to engage the side of said hood.
2. In a device of the class described, the combination of a tube, a cap closing the upper end ofthe tube, a piston rod in the tube, extending from the lower end thereof and having a head in the tube, a spring around the piston rod, bearing against said head and also against the lower end of the tube, means for loosely mounting the piston rod for universal n1ovement,a shank pivotally connected to said cap, for engaging a catch member, the shank having a soft pad on its interior portion to engage the side of an automobile hood.
In testimony whereof I hereby aflix my signature.
