UNITED STATES MICHAEL A. KIKLAS, OF ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA.
ANTIGLARE ATTACHMENT.
Application filed December 6, 1923. SerlahNo. 678,922.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MICHAEL A. Kmms, a citizen of the United States, rcsidin at St. Cloud, in the county of Stearns and l tate of Minnesota. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Antiglare Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear. and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of the present invention is to prevent the blinding glare of motor vehicle headlights and to provide an attachment which may be readily applied to the ordinary headlight Without requiring any change in the construction thereof, the provision of special fastening means or the services of a skilled mechanic, the attachment being adjustable so as to be moved from one position to another as occasion may re uire.
ther objects and advantages will be apparent and suggest themselves as the nature of the invention is understood.
While the drawings illustrate an embodi ment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet different conditions and requirements. various changes in the form. proportion and minor details of construction may he resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of the application: Figure 1 is a front view of a headlight provided with an anti-glare attachment embodying the invention, the front of the lamp being omitted. and
Figure 9 is a detail view of the attachmcnt.
(orresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in both views of the drawings by like rcf'erence characters.
The numeral 1 designates the frame or casing of a headlight. the front having an out tanding flange in which are formed not hes 2 for the reception of the usual lugs of the front, whereby the latter is held in place when fitted to the lamp. The numeral .l designates the reflector and 4 the packing hi h is i.rrangcd to come between the front and the body of the lamp. The numeral 5 6 donates the socket which is adapted to rec t the electric lamp bulb.
The attachment comprises a. reflector 6 which 15 approximately of fan shape and constructed of sheet metal formed into radial flutes or crimps and having the surface highly polished to provide reflecting faces which are reversely disposed so as to prevent the rays of light from being thrown forwardly in a manner to produce a glare. Metal straps 7 are riveted or otherwise attached to longitudinal edge portions of the reflector and the ends of each strap are extended, the inner ends being outwardly curved, as indicated at 8, to provide a, clamp and the outer ends 9 being adapted to be bent about the outer edge of the frame or casing l, as indicated most clearly in Figure 1. The reflector is approximatcly of seg- -ment form and when in position covers about oncf0urth of the rellcctor 3 and is arranged so as to prevent the rays of light from being thrown forwardly and upwardly in a manner to blind the driver of an approaching vehicle. The inner and outer edges of the reflector 6 are indented and the corners and edges may be colored green or any preferred color. A
lVhat is claimed is:
1. An anti-glare attachment for headlights. the same consisting of a reflector of segment formation and comprising sheet material which is radially crimped or fluted to provide rcversely disposed reflecting faces. and strips at opposite longitudinal edges of the reflector and having their ends extended.
the inner ends being ppositely curved to provide a clamp, and the outcr ends adapted to be bent about the frame of the lamp.
2. An anti-glare attachment for headlights, the same consisting of a reflector of segment formation and comprising sheet material which is radially crim ed or fluted to provide revorsely disposed re eating faces and strips at opposite longitudinal edges 0 the rcficctor and having their ends extender], the inner ends being, oppositely curved to provide a clamp, and the outer ends adapted to be bent about the frame of the lamp, and
the inner and outer edges of the reflector being indented to provide points.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
