IMPROVEMENT IN ADJUSTABLE LAMP-SUPPORTS FOR VEHICLES.
Specification forming part ofLct-ters Patent No.147,362, dated .l 'ebruary 10,1874; application filed December 13, 1873.
. making apart of this specification.
The object of my invention is to furnish a portable, sure, and simple method of applying the use of a lamp to any ordinary buggy or carriage.
Lamps for a similar purpose are at present in use on public and private conveyances; but such lamps are usually placed permanently in position when the carriage is built. My improven'ient does not relate to this class of carriages, but rather to those in which a lamp or lamps were not a part of the original design of the maiuifactiu'or.
Physicians and others who have occasion to drive during the night have long felt the necessity of an improvement of this nature. By my invention they are furnished with. a lamp, together with such iixtures or attachments as will enable them to fasten it securely and quickly to the dash-lmard of their carriage, and as readily detach it in the day-time when they have no occasion for its use.
My improvement consists in providing a bracket or support for a carriage-lamp with a clamp, by which it may be readily and securely attached to the dashboard of a carriage, and as easily removed, when not in use. My improvement further consists in providing a support for a carriage-lamp not only with a clamp for the above purpose, but also constructing it with a joint between the clamp which fastens it to the dash-hoard and the lamp, with an arrangement also for adjusting and clamping the two parts of the support where the joint is formed, so that the lamp may be held at different angles. This adjustable feature of my improvement enables me of disk 0 and shank d in elevation.
fastened thereon by the thumb-screw b.
to apply it to dash-boards of any shape, and still hold the lamp in an upright position.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a view in elevation of my improvement as attached to the dash-board of a carriage; Fig. 2, the thumb-nut of the adjustable joint and clamp B, Fig. 3, the disk 0, in combination with the arm f of the support, to which the lamp is fastened, and shank cl; Fig. 4, a sectional view Fig. 5 represents the disk D, in combination with the clamp A, which fits over the dash. e is an orifice in the center of the disk D, for receiving the shank (1. Figs. 6, 7, S, 9, l0 represent the parts in detail of the clamp A. Fig. 11 represents an end view in elevation of the adjustable clamp B.
The manner of using my improvement is as follows: The two parts of the clamp A are placed so as to straddle the dash, and securely To adjust the lamp to an upright position, I have simply to turn the thumb-nut, Fig. 2, to the left, which allows the serrated disks 0 and l) to be separated suflicient-ly to turn the lamp to any required position. The disks can then be brought together again and fastened, the serrated portions fitting into each other, as shown in. Fig. 11, and making a rigid joint. The lamp may be casil y detached, if desirable, and used as a lantern, the support or bracket forming a convenient handle.
I usually solder the lamp to the support but it obvious it may be fastened in other ways.
Different styles of clamps from those I have described may also be used. The clamp for the dash might be hinged at the top, and have the thumb screw 7) pass tl'irough the dash.
I do not claim anything, broadly, on the serrated disks 0 and D, as I am aware that they are used in other combinations, and for other purposes.
I claim as my invention The combination, with a carrf age lamp, of
an arm attached to the back of the'1a1np,and have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of provided with an adjustable joint, B, at or Deeember l873. near the middle thereof, and a clamp, A,
and screw 1) on the end of the same, all substantially as and for? he purposes herein set Witnesses: forth. DAVID B. Looxwoon,
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I F. WV. SMITH.
