This invention relates to a hood for automobiles which can be composed of a relatively small number of parts and manufactured at a low cost and will, nevertheless, be pleasing in appearance and thoroughly eflicient in performing the desired functions. Detailed objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description and will be set forth in the appended claims.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete hood removed from the machine.
Figure 2 is an end view of the same.
Figure 3 is a detailed vertical section with a portion of the top and side adjacent the hinge.
The top portion 1 of the hood is com posed of a single piece of sheet metal of the desired size and curvature. At each side near the ends are cut slits and the side portion therebetween is bent downward at an angle to the body of the top to form a flange 2. This leaves two lugs 3 projecting outwardly for a purpose hereinafter mentioned. Near each side of the top member and just within the flange 2 a bar 4: is fastened to the top member as by rivets 5 or other de sired fastenings. The ends 6 of this bar extend in each direction beyond the hood and provide means for supporting the same in place upon the machine where it may be held by any desired form offastening. Near each end of the bars 4 is an arm 7 integral or rigid therewith which projects outwardly beneath the adjacent lug 3.
Each side member 8 is composed of a single piece of sheet metal near the top edge of which a bar 9 is attached by rivets 10 or similar fastenings. The upper corners of each side 8 are notched as shown at Hand cars 12 on the bars 9 are bent at right angles thereto and fit within these notches. These ears lie just inside of the arm 7 carried by the top member. The arm 7 and cars 12 are hinged together by bolts 13 or similar pivoted fastenings. may be provided with any usual or desired ventilator openings 14.
The lower edge of each side member 8 is slit at two places and a relatively narrow strip between the slits is bent into substantial parallelism with the side member and has an outwardly curved portion 15 which af-' fords a handle for the side of the hood when it is desired to lift the same. edge of the side member on each side of this The side members 8' The lower 1926. Serial 1103108595.
central handle member is rolled or beaded as shown at 16 to provide a pleasing appearance and a smooth surface. may also coact with. any desired form of fastening device for holding the side members in closed position..
An inspection of Figure 2 will show that when the side is lifted to its upper position, the cars 12 will contact with the edge of the lugs 3 and prevent the side member from dropping down upon the top member 1 and thus avoid any danger of either member becoming scarred or scratched. When the side is in its operative position the upper edge These portions thereof fits up inside of the flange 2 of the top member so that rain, snow or other extraneous matter cannot obtain ready access between the side and the top. The lugs3 project out over the greater portion of the arms 7 and ears 12, thus covering and protecting the same as well as adding to the appearance of'the structure.
It is apparent that the device may be constructed at a relatively low cost since the sides and top may each be stamped out of sheet metal and the bars 4 and 9 with their lugs 7 and ears 12 are simple in construction. The entire hood is formed of three pieces instead of four as is often the case, so that the top is a single unbroken surface. It is obvious that various details of the construe tion may be modified without in any way departing from the spirit of the. invention which is to be regarded as limited only by the scopeof'the appended claims.
I claim:
1. An automobile hood comprising atop portion having projecting lugs at its corners and side flanges therebetween at each side,
a bar attached to the top portion at each side and having outwardly extending arms underlying said lugs, side members each having a bar attached thereto at the top, said bar having ears extending outwardly adj acent said arms, and a pivotal connection between each ear and the adjacent arm.
2. An automobile hood comprising a top portion having downwardly extending flanges at its sides, side members, and oooperating extensions carried by the top and 3. An automobile hood comprising atop ftv portion having projecting lugs at its corners, a bail-carried by the top at each side and having outwardly projecting arms underlyiIT the lugs, side members each provided 5 W th ears pivotally connected tosaid arms,
'tl e pivotal points being outside the ends of the lugs so that When the side is swung upwardly, the ears will engage the lugs and prevent the side from contacting with the 10 -to.pmember. V r 1 4.-Anantomobile hood comprising atop and two side portions, each stamped from a single piece of sheet metal, hinge connections'between each side portion and the top, the lower edge of each slde havlng a central portion bent to term a handle and the parts on each side of this central portion being 'roi'led.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
