ALBERT W. PATTISON, OF SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA.
COMBINED BUMPERQAND HEADLIGHT.
Application filed August 20, 1925, Serial No. 51,481. Renewed August-11, 1926.
The purpose of this invention is to-provide a bumper equipped with terminal housings in which suitable roadlights areto be mounted to serve as substitutes for the conventional headlights.
An important feature of the invention consists in having the terminal housings formed separately and detachably secured to the body of the bumper whereby production and replacement of the housings is materially simplified.
Other purposes and advantages of the invention as well as the details of construction will be more readily understood from the following description and accompanying drawings in which,
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a bumper constructedin accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of one of the terminal housings as it will appear detached from the body of the bumper.
Figure'3 is an end View of the construction shown in Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line 4- of Figure 2, and,
Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view along the line 5-5 of Figure 2.
As illustrated in theaforementioned fig-- ures of the drawings the bumper consists of the tubular body 5 and the terminal housings 6 and 7 which are formed and detaclr ably secured to the body as hereinafter described.
The aforesaid housings are preferably although not necessarily produced by a casting operation and the shape of the same may be varied within wide limits to suitdifierent conditions of use or the taste of in dividual manufacturers. In the present instance, however, each housing is formed with a body wall 8 curved as shown to advantage in Figures 4 and 5. At the front or open side of the housing there is formed a forwardly extending flange 9 which, as shown in Figure 2, is substantially oblong in shape and rounded at the ends. This flange is oflset outwardly with respect to the body wall 8 so as to form an internal shoulder 10 at the base'of the flange. At one end the housingisequipped with anintegral neck ll connected thereto by suitable reinforcing webs 12 arranged as shown. At the base of the neck there is formed an annular encircling flange 13 spaced from the neck to provide an intervenmg groove 14.
part of the invention which In assembling the parts described as shown 1n Figure l the neck 11 of each hous- 111g is inserted within one end of the tubular In fitting the elements of a roadlight assembly to the aforesaid housings various methods may be resorted to within the skill of a-mechanic and hence this feature has not been illustrated. For example, the closed side of each housing may be formed with a central opening 16 to receive the stem of an electric bulb (not shown) and the inner side of the body wall 8 treated in any suitable manner to afford a reflecting surface for projecting the light rays forwardly through any suitable type of lens seated'against the shoulder 10. Instead of'this arrangement a complete lamp assembly including a bulb, reflector and lens may be inserted bodily in each housing and secured in any suitable manner the one essential requirement being that the lens shall be situated a sufiicient dis tance inwardly from the free edge of the flange 9 so that the latter will serve as a guard to prevent direct impact between the lens and any obstruction encountered by the bumper. From this it will be apparent that. the exact manner of fitting the elements of a road light to the housin is not a vital consists more particularly in the location of the housings at the ends of the bumper and in the method of forming and attaching said housings.
Having thus fully described my invention what I claim is:
1. A vehicle bumper comprising a central tubular impact member equipped at each end with a housing open at the front side and designed to receive the reflector, bulb and other elements of a roadlight assembly, said hous ings projecting beyond the ends of said member in line therewith.
2. An automobile bumper comprising a central impact member and a pair of housings detachably secured to and carried by the ends ofsaid member, said housings being open at the front side and designed to receive the elements of a roadlight.
3. A combined vehicle bumper and roadlight structure comprising a tubular impact member open at both ends and a pair of roadlight housings capping and detachably secured to said ends.
4. A combined vehicle bumper and roadlight structure comprising a tubular impact member 0 en at both ends and a pair of roadlight ousings formed with projecting necks secured with the said open ends of the impact member.
5. A combined vehicle bumper and roadlight comprising a central hollow impact member open at each end, a pair of roadlight housings formed with pro ect1ng necks en-- tering the ends of said member and collars 16 formed integral with said housings and surrounding the base portions of the necks in spaced relation thereto, the ends of said members being received in the channels formed between the necks and the surrounding collars.
6. A combined vehicle bumper and roadlight comprising a central impact member and apair of roadlight housings detachably carried by the ends of said member and shaped for interfitting engagement therewith.
In testimony whereof I hereunto my signature.
