WILLIAM L. HOWE, F OVERLAND, MISSOU.
nnrLno'roa non AUTO OBILES ran Linn.
'Applioaflon filed November 17, 1921. Serial No. 515,858.
- To all whom it may camera:
Be it known that I, WIILIAM L. H own, a citizen of the United States, resid ng at Overland, St. Louis County, Missouri, ave invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Deflectors for Automobiles and the like, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyin drawing, forming a part thereof.
%his inventionerelates generally to automobiles and, more particularly, toa certain new and useful improvement in wind-sh eld attachments or deflectors. for automoblles and the. like.
My new attachment is especially adapted for use in connection with standard automobile wind-shields and is generally of the type shown and described in Letters Patent No. 1,384,803, issued to me under date of July 19, 1921, the principal ob ect of my present invention being to improve generally upon, and simplify the construction of, the
wind-shield attachment or deflector shown and described in said Letters Patent.
With the above and other objects in view, my present invention resides in the novel features of form, construction, arrangement, and combination of arts hereinafter described and afterwar vpointed out in the .end, side elevational, and rear end views of one of the combined'clamp and hinge members. of the attachment; and
Figure 5 is a vertical sectional view through the said combined clamp and hinge member of the attachment.
Referring now more in detail to the said drawing, which illustrates a practical em-v bodiment of my invention and in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views, 1 indicates an automobile-body, and 2 its usual fixed or standard wind-shield, the wind-shield proper here shown being of the divided type, so that it may be opened or closed to meet the convenience of the occupants of the auto mobile.
My present wind-shield attachment or deflector comprises an open or skeleton frame 3, supported within which, as best seen in Flgure 1, is a section of lass or other suitable material 4 of suita le dimensions, as shown, relatively to the automobile and its wind-shield proper 2, and which may be e1ther transparent or translucent, as desired. Suitable formed or provided on the rear member of the frame 3, is a pair'of oppo-v sltely disposed pintles. 5-5, each of which fits for rotar movement in the enlarged bight of a substantially U-shaped block or hinge-member '6, the le s 7-7 of which are somewhat resilient an adjacent their upper ends are provided with registering apertures to accommodate and receive a pintletlghtenin bolt 8, the aperture in the outer or front eg of the block 6 bein internally threaded for cooperation with t e threaded end of the bolt 8 and the aperture in the inner or rear leg 7 being of a diameter to freely or loosely permit the extension or projection therethrough of bolt 8, as best seen in Figure 3.
Fixed to or integral with the block 6 and projecting rearwardly at approximately a right angle from the upper end of its inner or rear outerthreaded leg, as best seen in Figures 3 and 5, is a shoulder or flange 9 preferably beveled, as at 10, at its inner or free end for co-operation and engagement with an oppositely beveled groove 11 formed adjacent the upper end and upon the front face of a clamping-member or block 12 apertured as at 13 and through which; aperture 13 the pintle-tightening bolt 8 is freely or loosely passed for engagement with the outer threaded leg 7 of the hingeblock 6, the bolt 8 having a head 14 presented inwardly of the car for convenient grasping engagement by the occupant.
Formed transversely through the block 12 preferably upon opposite sides of the aperture 13, are apertures 1515, and disposed lengthwise through the apertures 15-15 and into the inner or rear leg only of the hinge block 6, are clamp-fastening bolts 1616, each of which is threaded at an end and at which end each bolt 16 has threaded engagement with said rear leg only of the block 6.
In use or operation, the several parts being assembled as shown and the several bolts 8 and 16 being suitably loosened, the attachment is fitted upon the fixed windshield 2, as illustrated in Figure 1, the block 6 being. disposed upon the outer face of, and
at its shoulder 9 straddling, the fixed windshield 2 and the clamping-block 12 being the rear or inner legs of the pairs of hingeblocks 6 and the clamping-blocks 12 are brought together upon the intermediate fixed wind-shield member and the attachment thus ri idly fastened upon the car, the front face 0? block 12 and the inner face of the rear leg 7 of block 6 being preferably ribbed or otherwise roughened, as at 17, to increase the gripping engagement of said members upon the fixed wind-shield member. As seen in Figure 2, the apertures 15 are of a diameter somewhat reater than the diameter of the unthreadef shanks of the bolts 16-16, which, together with the interengagement between the beveled end 10 of block-shoulder 9 and the block 12 at its groove '11, facilitate the rigid clamping engagement of the blocks 12 upon the fixed windshield member.
The shield or deflector proper 4 may now be readily and conveniently adjustably swung to substantially any desired deflecting position relatively to the fixed windshield 3 and then a tightening of bolt 8 serves to draw the outer le 7 yieldingly towards inner leg 7, the shield proper 4 being thereby firmly clamped at its pintles 5 in the bi ht of the hinge member 6 and held in suc adjusted or set position. Should the occupant of the car desire to change or adjust the angular position of the deflector 4 relatively to thefixed windshield 2, the bolt 8 only is loosened, when, as will be evident, the deflector 4 may be conveniently swung by the car occupant to the desired position and again, upon atightening of bolt 8, locked in such new or ad justed position, the inner or rear legs of the hinge-blocks 6 and the clamping-blocks 12 being undisturbed in their engagement with the fixed Wind-shield 2 of the car.
My wind-shield attachment is most etiieient as an auxiliar wind, storm, and sun deflector, is, as wil be obvious, simple in construction, may be economically and inexpensively manufactured, may be conveniently attached to, or detached from, the automobile substantially at will, and its deflector proper may with ease, facility, and convenience. be adjustably swung to, and locked in, any angular position relatively to the fixed wind-shield that may suit the particular car-occupant.
' I- am aware that minor changes in the form, construction, arrangement, and comor deflector bination of the several parts of my attach ment may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without de arting from the nature and principle 0 my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. An attachment of the classdescribed including, in combination, a shield, shouldered hinge-members, supporting-pintles upon the shield having engagement for swingable adjustment with the hinge-members, clamping members adapted for engagement with the shoulders of the hinge-members, bolts havin enga ement with the hinge-members an with t e clamping members for clamping the attachment upon an automobile and separate bolts extending through the clamping-members and having engagement with the hinge-members for fastening the pintles and their supported shield in adjustably swung position.
2. An attachment of the class described including, in combination, a shield, shouldered substantiall U-shaped hinge-members, supporting mtles upon the shield fitting for'swingabib adjustment in the bight of the hinge-members, clamping members adapted for engagement with the shoulders of the hinge-members, means comprising bolts having engagement with the clamping members, and with the hinge-members for clamping the attachment as a whole upon an automobile, and means comprising other bolts extending through the clamping members and having engagement with the hingemembers for clamping the pintles and their supported shield in adjustably swung position.
3. An attachment of the class described including, in combination, a shield, a pair of shouldered hinge blocks substantially U- shaped in side elevation, the legs of said blocks being resilient, shield-supporting pintles fitting for swingable adjustment in the bights of said hinge-members, clamping members adapted for engagement with the shoulders of the hinge-members, means comprising bolts having engagement with the clamping members and with one leg only of the hinge-members for clamping the attachment as a whole upon an automobile, and means comprising other bolts extending through the clamping-members and having engagement with the other leg only of the hinge-members for clamping the pintles and their supported shield in adjustably swung position.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
WILLIAM L. HOWE.
