LAMP.
Application filed February :20, 1922. I Serial 1V0. 538,099.
Toall whom it may concern: V Be it known that I, FRANCIS L. GARBISON,
reflector. An armature 9 is connected with the reflector and isso located that when the a citizen of the United States, residing at magnetic means are energized the armature Conncrsville, in the county of Fayette and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Im rovements in Lamps, ofwhich the followlng is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in head lamps for motor vehicles and the like, the general object of the invention being to provide means whereby the rays.
diflferent direcof light can be deflected in tions as desired.
Another object of the invention is to provide a movable reflector for the lam with adjustable magnetic means for actuating the same.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
.In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 isa front view of an automobile supplied with my invention.
Figure 2 is a rear view of the lamp showing its means of attachment to the automobile.
Figure 3 is a vertical' sectional view through the lamp.'
' Figure t is a sectional view showing the manner of securing the reflector within the lamp casing.
Figure 5 is a view showing a rear elevation of the reflector and the casing in section.
In these views 1 indicates the casing of the lamp which is provided with the sockets 2 and 3 for receivin the supports 4; on the vehicle, the sockets eing so arranged that the lamp can be arranged with the magnetic means 5 at the bottom of the lamp or at one side thereof so that the rays of light can be deflected either upon the road or to the right thereof. The reflector 6 is pivotally supported in the casing by the pivots 7, this reflector carrying the lamp bulb 8 so'that the bulb will move with the will be attracted and thus the reflector will normally held in its center position by means of the spring 12 swivelled to the inner end of the set screw 13. The pivots 7 are mainly formed of screws so that they can be loosened to permit the reflector to be removed- The magnetic means can be electrically connected with the battery of I the car orto any other source of current and the controlling switch for the circuit is preferably located adjacent the drivers seat so that he can supply current to the magnetic'means when he desires to direct the rays of light upon the road close to the machine or to the right of the road. If he wishes to deflect the light upon the road ahead of the machine the sockets 2 would engage the supports 4 but if the rays of light are to be cast to one side of the road, when the magnetic means are actuated, the socket 3 is placed in engagement with the support.
Any suitable form of safety device, shown at 14, can be placed in the circuit of the magnetic means to prevent damage to such means if the driver should forget to turn off the current.
From the above it will be seen that when the circuit is closed to the magnetic means the armature 9 will be attracted to the magnets, thus tilting the reflector and so casting the rays of light upon the road close to the machine or to the right of the road, according to the position of the lamp upon the support.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood that I may .make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall withm the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is A lamp of the character described comprising a casing, a reflector pivotally secured within the casing on dizunctrically opposite sides thereof, a set screw threade-dly secured to the casing zind having its respective ends arranged interiorly 51nd exteriorly thereof, a left spring swivelled to the inner end of the set screw and depending there-- from for engaging and holding the-reflector in normal position, and means arranged in the. casing and carried by the. reflector for tilting the latter as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
FRANCIS LON GARRISON.
