RADIATOR ORNAMENT.
Application filed January 13, 1928. Serial No, 246,578.
.This invention appertains to ornaments of the type for use in connection with the radiator caps of automobiles but which is susceptible for other uses.
One of the primary objects of the present invention is to provide a novel radiator ornament embodying a rotary member capable of being turned by the impinging or" air against vanes carried thereby during the progress of the automobile with which the same is associated, the rotary member having means for receiving flags or pennants, whereby the rapid turning of the flags or pennants by the rotary member will create an attractive appearance.
A further object of the invention is the provision of novel vanes carried by the rotary member, the vanes being of such construction as to effectively catch the wind stream and at the same time be attractive to the eye.
A further object or" the invention is the provision of novel means for mounting the rotary member upon a supporting standard, so as to permit the tree rotation thereof and novel means for protecting the anti-friction means from the element.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an automobile radiator ornament of the above character, which will be durable and efiicient in use, one that will be simple and easyto manufacture, and one which can be placed upon the market and incorporated with an automobile radiator cap at a small cost.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will 'be hereinafter more specifically described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings:
Figure 1 is atop plan view of the improved radiator ornament,
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same,
7 Figure 3 is a vertical section through the radiator ornament, and
Figure 4 is a horizontal section through the radiator ornament taken on the line H of Figure 3 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A generally indicates the improved radiator ornament, which comprises a vertical standard 5 which can be formed of any desired material. The lower end of the standard is preferably bent at right angles to provide a supporting bracket 6 which can have formed thereon or secured thereto afoot 7 oi any desired shape or configuration to facilitate the association of the standard with a conventional automobile radiator cap.
Mounted to rotate around the standard 5, is the novel rotary member 10, which comprises a hub 11, a rim 12 and radially extending arms 13 which connect the rim 12 with the hub 11. In the present instance, I have shown only two supporting arms 13 and these arms integrally connected by means of a semi-circular bight port-ion 14 which is secured in any desired way to the hub 11. It is to be understood however that anynumber of arms 13 can be provided and that these arms can be secured directly to the rim l2 and hub 11 without the use of a semi-circular bight portion 14.
In order to facilitate the easy rotation of the rotary member 10, I provide an anti-friction bearing 15, which in the present instance, is shown to consist of ball bearings 16 mount-- ed in a suitable raceway 17. The ball bearings 16 and the raceway 17 are confined between the hub 11 which is of annular configuration and a hub sleeve 18 which is connected in any preferred way with the standard 5. It is to be noted that the standard 5 projects a slight distance above the hub block 18. Secured at equidistantly spaced points around the rim 12 are vanes or buckets 20 which in the present instance are shown to be of a hollow conical shape, which are secured at their apex port-ions to the rim. If desired the rim 12 can be of a split formation and the vanes or buckets can be slipped upon the rim to their desired position and then welded or otherwise secured in place, after which the spilt portion of the ring being welded or otherwise affixed together.
The upper end of the standard 5 extends above the hub block 18 and is pointed as at 21 to which is secured an inverted hollow cone 22 which is of suitable material to add an attractive appearance to the entire device. 4
and practicability of the device,"l provide sockets 25 betvveen'the buckets or vanes and these sockets are adapted to receive suitable flag staffs. c
It is obvious that When the device is placed on the radiator ca") that the air caused b the automobile being in motion would impinge against the vanes or buckets 20 and thus cause therapid rotation of the rotary member With the flags carriedthereby.
This Will create an attractive appearance j and thus please the asthetic taste of the trade.
The formation of the foot 7 can be changed so as to permit the device to be associated With the stern of a motometer orto permi; the
same to be secured. r x Changes in detalls may be made Without detion, but: 7
"What I claim'as new 1s:
1. An ornament ior automoblles comprisp' rting from the spirit orscope of this inven "ing a standard, an attaching arm on the standard, a rotary member carried by the standard, anti-"friction means interposed between the rotary member and the standard,
Wind catching vanes carried by the rotary ,niember, anornamental protecting head cara length oftubing co'i'inected With the standard above said rotary member, andconstituting a flag staff holder, an inverted hollow cone connected With'the tubing having its fiaredbase portion housing said anti-friction elements, as and for" the purpose specified.
3. A wind operated ornament con'iprisinga supporting standard, a rotor including a hub rotatably mounted 'on the standard, arms radiatingfrom said hub,'an annular rim se-' cured to said arms, spaced hollo lv :cones having their apex portions all facing the same direction cireumferentially and secured at spaced points to said rim, and flag stair" holders secured to said rim intermediate said cones, arranged to project above said rim.
In testimony whereof-I aflix mysignature.
WILLIAM nrnirroii.
