1 invention relates a5- a door glass guide and-has for its principal object to provide a guiding and bracing meansfor the top of a door glass used ina door having a sloping doorpost. c p A further objectis to provide a device of this charaterthat isneat andinconspicuous and which will not detract from the appearanceof the vehicle on which it ,is used.
10 A further object is to provide a device of this character which is simpleand rugged in ,constructionand which is economical to manufacture and easy to install, and will not readily getoutof order in service. 1
A still further object isto provide a door glass guiding and bracing means thatis solid and rigid in construction and eflectivelyprevents the top of the door glass from vibrating or rattling. a l

It is tobe understood, however, that the prevferred form. of the invention as illustrated and the modified forms as illustrated in connection therewith comprise, merely a few concrete examples of themany ways in which this inventive idea maybe applied;- The description and illustration in the drawings are to betaken as illustrative only, and thein ventionis to be limited solely by .thescope ofthe sub-joined claims. 7 Referring tothe drawings in which like reference numbers apply to similar parts throughout? 1 i i a Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevation of an automobile showing a door of the form to Which this invention is particularly adaptable.

F'gure 9 is an end elevi tion oflthedetail shown in side elevation in FigureB.
Figure 10 is an end elevation of a detail of the device illustrated inFigures 3, 431K116. ,Referringto Figure 1, thenuineral 10generally indicates the vehicle door having a window 11, anda sliding .glass closu re' 12 for said window, receivable in the IOvVGI Portion 13 of said door. In this illustration, thedoor hasa vertical door post 14 .at one side'there of and a sloped door ;post15 at the, opposite a side thereof. The vertical doorpost; 14115 a .vertical guide groove 16 formed therein,
as shown in Figure 3, andthe glass 12 has a 7 straight edge 17 vertically sli'dable in the groove .16. ,The slopingdoorpost l5hasa guide groove 18 therein, as shown in Figure 3, parallel to the edges of the doorv post. The glass12 has asloping edge 19 corresponding to the slope of thedoor post15 and it will be noted from an inspection of Figuresland 2, that'when theglass is completely raised, the sloping edge 19- fitsintothe groove18'i1 1 the sloping door postl5, as shown in Figure I 1. However, as the glass is lowered,the straight edge17 runsin the vertical'groove 16, but the sloping edge19 tends to pull away from'the slopingIgroove 18, leaving. agap between thecedge, of the glassand'the. adjacent door post. This leaves a considerable area of the-glass unsupported, .and when so if the door isheavily jarred or slammed.
To overcomethe'sedisadvantages, Ihave provided a means forbracing the top edge e unsupported, the glass has a; tendency to vibrate and rattle and may beeasily broken member 21 is shorter than the tubular meme I ber 20, and in another portion of the tubular. member, I place a compression spring '24 of the glass as it pulls away from the sloping groove and also to guide the glass back into the groove when the window is closed. This means comprises the following structure A tubular member having an external groove in one side thereof is mounted on the top edge of the glass and preferably securely cemented thereto. Within .the tubu lar .meinber 20 there is telescopically inserted a rod 2lfhavi'ng a bent-over and roundejd'en'd' 22 slidable in'the guiding g'roo'vel8. The
which has an adjustable abutment 25 at one end' and at thexother 1 end bears against the inner see or themembe'r 21L *Inlthe remaining portion of the tubular member 20, I provide an adjusting screw 27 which is] screw threaded through the abutment 25, and at the oppositeiend has a reduced; portion ex- "tendingthrough -''a bearing member 28 vThis adjusting member has a squared end 29 pro- I ij-ecting -outof the tubular member 20 and ac'ce s'sible when the glass closure I2 is lowered so that the adjusting member may be turnedto adjust' the .tens'ionon the spring 24;.
"In the abutment25 is a small set sorew'30' which projects through the tubular member -'and-which mayfbeadjusted to lock the adjusting niem b'er 27 in adjusted position? From this description, it'will be apparent that'as the' glass 12 is raised 'and' lowered in thekdoor, the member 21 will be thrust'outwardly by the spring2l so that the endQ'EZQ will'slide in theguiding groove 18 and thereby support steady the top edge *of the "glass '12.
heinenfbers 20 n areneatlydesi-gned and smoothly finished, and preferably are chromium plated so that the addition of the deviewih in no way detract from the; pleasf e ap a nc "O the eh so -far the description has beerirestricted ito' adoor "having only. one sloping door post.
. However, it is "quite possible that it may be 7 desirable to slope both of the door posts-in- "inserted rod 'members85 and "36 in each 'opposits jend of the tubular member, and between the'opp'os'e'd inner ends of the rod memhers I have inserted a compression spring 37 to thrust the rod members outwardly and maintain the ends 38 and 39 thereof in the 'ui'dingfgrooves inthe respective door posts.
In the modified form shown in Figure 7,
I- have provided the door glass with tubular members 20 and 40 on both the top and bottom edges thereof respectively, thevtubular members being. provided with external grooves cemented to the, glass as explained above. For the guide -members,'jI have-provided a pair ofrod members generally indicatedat 41 andlQ, each having an intermediate portion thevlength of thesloping edge of the 1 "membersyand having fbent-oVer ends"4:4 bent glass between, "the" top and bottom tubuiar.
at such an angle tofthe intermediate portion 5 that the ends are telescopically. received in thetop ;-a-nd,,bottom tubular members and the intermediate portion lies along and parallel to the sloping edge of the glass. Between the inner opposed e'n'd 's oi' the guiding member's Within the top and bottom tubular members, I have provided compression springs de end 4L7 to thrust the guide members outwardly and; maintain the intermediate portions 43 7 thereof in the guiding-grooves in the sloped door'p'osts15 and 23.- V V i In the modification shown-in Figuies' 8 and 9, I have provided afsIide memberQZ 'j-oined'xto the rod ZZL'inter-mediate its ends instead otat the upper-end thereof asl 'shown iii-Figures 6 and 7.{ V I g 1 I-Iavingnow described my invention and the purposethereof, I claim: I
