EYE SHIELDING ATTACHMENT FOR WINDSHIELDS Filed Oct. 2. 1922 Wmme Patented .lune i9. i923..
Ulli
d' E. DAVITT, 0F GROJLON, NEW Y0 Application le october 2,1922. Serial No. 521,224.
T all wlwm, it may concern.'
Be it known that l, JAMES E. DAvrrr, a c1tizen of the United States, residing at Groton, in the county of Tompkins and 6 State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eye- Shie-lding Attachments for Windshields; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the inven 10 tion, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive, yet a highly reliable attachment for windshields comprising a suitable eye shielding plate normally elevated above the windshield but adapted to be moved downwardly into the drivers line of vision to shield his eyes against glare from approaching headlights, novel provision being made for holding the device in its normally elevated position and for permitting it to be readily swung down in readi-v ness for use.
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, the description being supplemented by the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the attachment in its normall elevated position.
Figure 2 is a longitu al sectional view with parts in the positions shown inFig. 1..
Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view. Figure 4 is a detail vertical transverse section as indicated by line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings above briedy described, the numeral 1 designates a support here shown in the form of an arched spring clip 4o adapted to engage the upper edge of the windshield. The numeral 2 designates an elongated strip of spring metal which is bent closely around the rear leg of the arched clip and has its ends extended rearwardly from said clip in parallel relation with each other to form a pair 'of spring arms 3 which may yield horizontally but not vertically. The strip 2 may be secured tov the clip 1 by any desired means, for instance b punching said strip and the rear leg of t e clip, as indicated by lthe numeral 4.
Furthermore, attenton may be directed to the fact that the arms or arm 3 may be connected with the clip 1 or other support in any desired manner, the construction shown :te bemg principally lor illustrative purposes.
The free ends of the f ring arm 3 in the construction herein Idislosed are lient inwardly toward each other to provide apair of vertically elongated stops 5 which contact im with each other at their centers and their upper and lower ends inced or lieveled as clear] shown in Fig. d.
A vertica y swinging am 6 is pivoted between the arms 3 as indicated uit 7 .sldd '65 arm carrying an elongated he 8 containing an eye shield 9 which is preferably in the form of a metal plate provided a multiplicity of finely spaced perfor-ations 10. The arm 6 is normally held in :am elem vated position as seen in Figs. l and 2, iby resting upon the upper ends ci the stops 5.. See also Fig. 4. Whenever the use oil the eye shield is desired however, it is :simply necessary to pull downwardly m1, libe M frame 8 or arm 6, whereupon f l'- am wedges between the stops 5 against the action of the spring arms 3 and maybe -q l swung downwardly to position the :held 9 operatively in the drivcrs line of vision. LID When the use of the device is no longer needed, it is simply ww. to push it again upwardly, during which movement, the stops 5 are spread from each by engagement of the -v arm 6 therewith.
As excellent results may beobtained the details disclosed, they may he followed Yif desired. It is to be undd lio` that within the scope of the invention as claimed, numerous minor changes may be made.
lclaim:
1. An eye shading aent for windshields comprising a support, a pair of honizontally yieldable spring an rearwardly from said support and ha their free ends turned inwardly into conengage the upper edge of the Windshield, a strip of spring metal bent around the rear leg of said arched spring clip and secured thereto, the ends of said strip extending 5 rearwardly from said clip to form horizontally yieldable spring arms, a vertically swinging arm pivoted between said spring arms and carrying an eye shade, and means on said spring arms for normally holding said swinging arm elevated.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto af-
