Description

H. a. ANGLE.
Movable Head-Lights.
Patented May 5.1874.
ATTUBNEYS.
HORATIO-G. ANGLE, OF OHIOAGO,ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN MdVABLEHEAD-LIGHTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 150,457, dated May 5, 1874; application filed February 21, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HoRATIo G. ANGLE, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Movable Head-Lights, of
which the following is aspecification:
Figure l is a side view of my improved de vice, shown as applied to a locomotive, the truck being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a top View of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail section taken through the line 00 00, Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The invention'will first be fully described, and then pointed outin the claim.
A represents a locomotive-engine, about the construction of which there is nothing new. To the front of the locomotive is attached the shelf B, upon which the head-light G stands, and to which it is secured by a bolt, D, which also serves as a pivot to said head-light. To the bottom of the head-light O, in front of the. pivoting-bolt D, is attached a pin or. eyebolt, E, which passes down through a curved slot inthe shelf B, and with its lower end is connected a crank'arm, f formed upon the upper end of the vertical rod F,-which works in bearings attached to the front of the engine A. Upon the lower end of the rod F is formed a crank-arm, f which passes between the forks of a slotted arm, G, attached to the truck-frame of the engine. With this construction, as the truck turns in passing around a curve, the head-light O is also turned, so that the stream of light may always be thrown upon the track. By lengthening or shorten ing either of the crank-arms f f the light from the lamp may be thrown more or less from a straight line to adapt it to the curvatures of the road. To one side of the headlight 0 is rigidly attached a short arm, H, to the outer end of which is pivoted the forward end of a rod, I, which passes back along the top of the engine, so that it may be readily reached and operated by the engineer. The devices H I enable the engineer to turn the head-light a little farther or not so far as it would be turned automatically by the truck, to guide the stream of light as may be desired, the elasticity of the rod F allowing it to be twisted sufficiently for the purpose. The automatic feature need not be used, in which case the head-light is operated by, and is under the full control of, the engineer by means of the rod I and arm H. With some engines the upper crank-arm f of the rod F need not be used.' In some cases, also, the head-light may stand over the pivotal center of the truckframe, in which case the cranks upon both ends of the rod F might be dispensed with and the same results obtained.
Havin thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patcut- The combination, on a locomotive, in the manner described, of a slotted shelf, B, a rod, F, having crank-arms f f and the slotted arm G on the truck-frame.
HORATIO G. ANGLE.
