L. L. AYDT ANTIGLARE ARRANGEMENT Filed Nov. 8. 1923 Patented June 10, 1924.
UNITED {sT ANTILG-LARE ARRANGEMENT.
Application filed-November 8, 1923. Serial No. 673,604.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, LAURENCE L. Arr/r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dahlgren, in the county of Hamilton and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Antiglare Arrangement, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to automobile headlights, the primary object of the invention being to provide movable headlights designed to operate in horizontal planes, whereby the headlights may be moved to positions wherein the light rays projected therefrom will properly illuminate the path of travel of a motor vehicle equipped with the headlights.
Another object of the invention is to provide headlights of this character which may be moved to face each other to remove the glare of the headlights and prevent binding of persons driving approaching machines.
A still further object of the invention is to provide means for operating the headlights from a point adjacent to the operators seat, novel means being provided for returning the headlights to their normal positions when the manually controlled operating means has been released by the operator.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevational. view disclosing the support and movable headlight constituting the present invention.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of the support and headlights.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the device embodies a supporting bar 5 which has downwardly extended end portions 6 and fender engaging members 7, which are formed with openings to receive the securing bolts 8, by means of which the supporting bar may be held in position.
The supporting bar 5 is provided with openings disposed adjacent to the ends thereof, which openings accommodate the vertical lamp standards 9 that are of lengths to extend below the bar 5 where they are supplied with disks 10 that are securedto the I standards so that movement Of the disks will result in relative movements of the lamp standard to adjust the lamps 11 supported on the upper ends thereof.
One of the disks 1() is provided with a circumferential groove to receive one end of the flexible operating member 12 which is secured within the groove by screw 12 so that the flexible member is partially wound therein. The disks 10 are connected by the rod 13 which has its ends eccentrically mounted on the disks and adapted to move with respect thereto, the connections between the rod- 13 and disks 10 being made through the screws 14.
Extending laterally from the rod 13 is an ear 15 formed with an opening to receive one end of the coiled spring 16, the opposite end of the coiled spring being anchored to the bar 5 at 17. Thus it will be seen that as the disks are moved to adjust the lamps 11, the coiled spring 16 will operate to return the lamps to their normal positions.
The flexible operating member 12 may be supplied with a suitable handle or means whereby the same may be readily gripped by the operator to rotate the disks and accomplish the purpose of the invention, it being understood that it is contemplated to position the operating end of the flexible member 12 in proximity to the operators seat.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that by moving the flexible member 12 in the direction of the arrow as indicated by Figure 2 of the drawings, the disks 10 will be rotated, moving the headlights inwardly towards each other, removing the direct glare on the road surface in front of the motor vehicle supplied with the lamps.
I claim 1. In a device of the character described, a supporting bar adapted for positioning between the fenders of a motor vehicle, said bar having openings formed adjacent to the ends thereof, headlights having standards-extending through the openings, disks mounted on the standards to rotate there with, a connecting rod having its ends eccentrically mounted on the disks, a flexible op crating member secured to one of the disks 2. In a device of the character described, a supporting bar constructed for position ing between fenders of a motor vehicle, said bar having openings disposed adjacent to the ends thereof, lamp standards extending through the openings, disks on the lower ends of the lamp standards, a connecting rod having its ends eccentrically connected to the disks, one of said disks having a circumio ferential groove, a flexible operating member having one end thereof disposed in the groove and secured thereto, and resilient means having connection With the rod for returning the rod and holding the rod in its normal position.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto atlixed my signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
LAURENCE L. AYDT.
