UNITE Ssllh -AllSIFEEI? "KANE, OF NEW YQRK, N. Y.
RADIATOR-CAP LIGHT.
application filed may 25, 1923. Serial No. 641,436.
T 0 ala' whom it may concern: Be it known that L-Anrnnn KANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New -York, in the county of 'New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Itad1ator-Cap L1ghts, of wluch the following 1s a specification.
in radiator cap means and one of the objects of the. invention is to provide a small lamp adapted to be placed on the filling spout of the-radiator.
Another object of the invention is to 'provide a cylindrical screw threaded lower part on the lamp 'for closing the lilling spout and replacing the ordinary closing cap.
The invention also consists in certain other features ot construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinaftery fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
` In describing my invention in detail, refu erence will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a fragmentary sideview showing` my invention in use.
*igure 2 is a front View of the lamp;
Figure 8 is a section on line 3-3 ot Fig* lure 2.
Figure 4 is a view sho-wing the arrangement of the conductor.v
' In these views l indicates the body ot the lamp which is ot substantially semi-cy lindrical form. The bottom of the lamp is provided with an extension 2 which is screw threaded so as to engage the screw threads of the illing spout ci the radiator as shown in Figure 1 and at the to i of-this extension is a corrugated ring 21 "or facilitating the screwing and unscrewing of the device on the spout. In using thel device the ordinary filling cap is removed and the device form ing the subject matter or my invention substituted therefor. The iat tace of the casing isvformed of a'glass plate 3 which is held in place by forming channels ll adjacent the edges of the casing to receive said plate. These channels pass through the u per end of the lamp casing so that the g ass plate may be inserted and after said plate is inserted the iaps 5 are bent over to hold the plate in pla-ce. ,An opening is formed in each side of the casing and these openings may be closed by colored lens 6. An electric lamp socket 7 'is suitably connected to the rear wall oi the casing to receive the lamp 8 and a plug 9 is adapted to engage said socket in the usual manner'. rlhis plug has the ends of the This invention relates to 1mprovementsv conductors secured thereto so as to carry the current to the lamp. These conductors are adapted to be electrically connected with a battery or other source of supply, and are enclosed in a flexible metallic cable adapted to be passed under the hood of the automobile as clearly shown in Figure 1 of the drawings. An ornament such as the eagle l2 may be connected with the top of the casing and an opening 13 formed in said top to permit the light to pass from the casing ou to said ornament. The interior wall of the casing may be provided with suitable reflecting material or it may be polished to act asa reflector for the. light.
It will be thus seen that I have provided a neat and effective ornament, which may be applied to any car hy simply removing the cap of the filling spout and. substituting the device. The ornament at the top of the casing will be illuminated and the colored lens will add to the attractive appearance. 1l/Vhen the car is being used on a well lighted street or is parked the front lairips may be extinguished as my device will Jr'urnish suficient light in such cases.
,It is thought from the foregoing descripn tion that the advantages and novel ieatures of my invention willbe readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood thatI may make enanges in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided-that such chan es fall within the scope of the appended c aims.
1What I claim is l. A. device ci the class described comprising a casing, an internally screw threaded extension formed on the lower end of said casing and adapted to co-act with the threaded portion of a liller spout on the radiator lof an automobile, a transparent panel mounted in the iront wall of said, casing, a pair of colored lenses mounted in the side wallsof said casing and arranged diametrically opposite each other, a lamp mounted in the rear wall of said casing, a transparent panel mounted in the top wall of said casing and an ornament mounted on lthe top wall and to the rear of said transmtl parent panel, and extending over the same,
whereby the light from said lamp will pass through said panel for illuminating said ornament.
f2. A device prising a 'semi-circular casing having its liet face open and acylindrical extension at the bottom thereof, said extension being screys7 threaded for engaging the filling spout ofthe radiator, a transparent plate closing the opening, the top of the casing hayingan., `opening therein, an ornament on Athe vtop in the reary of said opening and a lamp in said easin the rays of which will passthrough the transparent plate in the front of the casing and through the opening in the top toi-lluminatethe ornament.
3. A radiator cap light of the class described comprising a lamp body formed with o the class described com' Lesa/,eee
an open front and with openings in the sides thereof and having the side edges at the front provided with confronting channels, a
