UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM: KELLEY, F SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.
Application filed September 12, 1921. Serial No. 500,078.
To all 107mm 2'25 may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM KELLEY. a citizen of the United States, residing. at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in W earPlates and Mats for Running Boards of Automobiles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a combined metallic mat and wear plate for the running boards of automobiles.
The object of my invention is to provide a device of the character referred to which will be so constructed as to permit mud, snow or other scrapings from the shoes to pass through the same onto the running board, together with provision for accessibility to the space between the plate and the running board so that the scrapings may be dislodged by a stream of water from a hose or otherwise.
.Tn the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a top plan view of a device embodying my improvements.
Fig, 2 is an end view of the same together with a portion of the running board.
Fig. 3 is a side view of the same also showing the running board.
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the running board of an automobile. The mat and wear plate consists essentially of a plurality of cross-bars 2,8, 4 and 5 spaced a suitable distance apart, and a plurality of suitably spaced longitudinal bars 6 corrugated or otherwise roughened on their upper surface. The front bar has formed thereon two upwardly-extending blades 7 to provide scrapers, arranged on opposite sides of the corrugated central portion thereof. The entire structure is formed as one integral casting and the longitudinal bars 6 lie in a plane above the cross-bars so that spaces 8 are provided between the loWer edges of the longitudinal bars and the running board whereby the dirt or snow which drops between the longitudinal bars may be readily removed by a stream of water from a hose or otherwise. The lower surface of the cross-bars rest upon the running board and form in effect a supporting base for the longitudinal bars.
The mat thus formed is secured to the running board by bolts 9 which pass through the openings 10 in the cross bars 2 and 5,
Having thus described my invention, I
claim A wear plate and mat for the running board of an automobile consisting of a metallic structure formed of a series of crossbars and a series of longitudinalbars all integrally cast together, the longitudinal bars being arranged. in a plane above said cross bars, with the cross bars resting on the running board, in combination with scraper members carried by the forward longitudinal bar.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 6th day of Se tember, 1921.
