Description
PROTECTOR Filed May 26. 1926 INVEN'TOR ATTORNEY WITNESS:

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

PROTECTOR.
Application led May 26,
This invention relates to an attachment for the hood of a motor vehicle, the general object of the invention being to provide means for preventing the water which drips through the hinge of the hood from reach-v ing the spark plugs and wires of the motor. This inventionalso consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described` illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appendedclaims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying rdrawings wherein like characters denote like or l corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a sectional view through the hood and adjacent parts of a motor vehicle, showing the invention in use.
Figure 2 is a section o-n line 2-2 of Figure 3.
FigureB is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 2. Y
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the hooks.
Figure 5 is a. transverse sectional view showing a modification. y
As is well known, the water dripping "ff through the hinge of a hood of a motor vehicle often short circuits the ignition system by dropping on the spark plugs and wires of the motor. I .prevent this water-from reaching the spark plugs and wires by placing a trough-like vmember under the hinge of the hood so asv to drain the water to a point beyond the front end of the motor. Figures l, 2 and 3 show a. trough-shaped plate l placed under the hinge of the hood and havingr a tubular part 3 at each edge thereof. Each tubular part contains a coiled spring 4C which has its ends connected with thev hooks 5, the hooks extending from the tubular part and being adapted to engage the ends of the hood, as shown at 6 in Figure 2. I prefer to form these hooks of Wire,
1926. Serial No. 111,790.
as shown in-Figure 4, with the hook at one end and an eye at the other, the eye receivv ing the end of the spring. I also prefer to cover the springs with Waterproof fabric;
Figure 5 shows a slight modification in which the trough-shaped plate l has an eX- tension 7 lat one' side thereof Which is fasl tened to one leaf of the hood by rivets 8.
In both forms of the invention, it will be seen that the Water dripping through the hinge will be caught by the trough and directed to a point beyond the front end of the engine so that this Water will be' pre# vented from Idropping uponthe spark plugs or wires of the motor.
I prefer to make the device shown in Fig.-
. ures l, 2 and 3 of flexible Waterproof material, such as canvas, though, of course, it
could be formedof other flexible material. -f--r The hook -5 canalso be made of Hat thin steel. In the form shown in Figure 5, I pre- Y fer to place a lstrip 7 of rubber or the like water dripping through the hinge, said memJy bery having a ltubular part at each side edge thereof, av coiled spring in each tubular part fi-V .lil
and a hook at eachend of each spring, said' hooks projectingfrom the ends of the tubular parts and engaging end portions of the hood to hold the device on the hood.
In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
JOHN T. TURNER.
