HUBERT ISCHE AND ROWLAND A. ISCHE, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
HEADLIGHT DEFLECTOR.
Application fi1e d October 23, 1923. Serial No. 670,321.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, HUBERT ISCHE and RO LAND A. ISCHE, citizens of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Headlight Deflector, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to devices applied to the head-lights of vehicles for deflecting the glaring rays of the head-lights in such a manner as to make them inoffensive or harmless to other approaching vehicles.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide an attachment that can be applied over the front of head-lights so as to deflect stray rays downwardly towards the road.
Another object is to provide a device of practically cylindrical form with an opening through its cylindrical side to be disposed in the underside of the device when applied to a head-light so as to deflect the rays from the head-light in a downward direction transversely to the main beam of the head-light.
Another object is to-provide a flange-like portion in the open side of the device adjacent to the head-light to which the device is applied, to form a shield for the lens of the head-light for keeping dirt from the head-light and at the same time deflecting the lower stray rays so as to combine with other rays for a uniform downward illumination through the opening in the underside of the device.
Another object is to provide a flange-like portion in the front-termination of main body of the deflector.
Other objects will appear from the following description and appended claims as well as from the accompanying drawing, in which The figure is a perspective illustration of the device attached to a head-light.
The head-light 1 is shown of practically cylindrical form, but it will easily be understood that the device can just as well be applied to the front edge of head-lights of other forms.
The main portion of the device itself is preferably of cylindrical form, as indicated at 2. The rearward termination, indicated at 3, is preferably of a form to engage with the front edge of the head-light, or, at least, of a form to facilitate an applying of the device to the front of a head-light to posiare not shown in the drawing since immaterial to the device itself.
A flange-like portion dis provided in the rear end of the device to be disposed adjacent to" the lens of the head-light in the lower portion, forming a shield for protecting the lens and tending to deflect the lower stray rays upwardly into the attached device.
Ahead of this flange 4, the main body of the device is open, as indicated at 5, to allow a deflecting of light in a downward direction practically transverse tothe main beam of the light from the head-light.
The lower longitudinal edges of the main body of the device, indicated at 6, are preferably extended downwardly to a point to cover the opening above the flange 4: in a sidewise direction, so that a glaring through the lens of the head-light over the upper edge 7 of the flange 4 in a sidewise direction may be prevented by these downwardly extending portions 6 of the main body 2- Another flange-like portion 8 is provided at the front termination of the main body 2 of the device, leaving an opening 9 of a size and form to merely allow the central main beam of the light'from the head-light to pass through the device in a practically straight forward direction while all other rays are deflected and caught to unite into a uniform downward light-reflection through the opening 5 of the device.
Having thus described our invention, we claim:
1. In a head-light deflector, a main body of practically cylindrical form to be applicable to the front of a head-light having an aperture in its cylindrical side extending from a point close to the front face of the said head-light to its own front termination to be disposed on the underside of the device when applied to the head-light and which the device is applied being open along one side to be disposed on the underside of the device when applied to a headlight, a flange-like portion being provided at the front termination of the said body extending inwardly practically transversely to the longitudinal axis, and another flangelike portion projecting upwardly and inwardly at the rearward termination of the opening in the underside of the body to be disposed in front of the lower portion and adjacent to the head-light to which the de vice is applied.
3. In a head-light deflector, a main body of tubular form of which the axis is normally disposed concentric to the axis of the main beam of light from a head-light to which the device is applied being open along .one side to be disposed on the underside of of the said body extending inwardly practically transverly to the longitudinal axis, another flange-like portionprojecting upwardly and inwardly at the rearward termination of the opening in the underside of the body to be disposed in front of the lower portion and adjacent to the head-light to which the device is applied, and extensions projecting downwardly from the lower longitudinal edges within the openingof the tubular body so as to deflect any sidewise extending rays from the head-light.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signed our names in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
