Description
U; R. BECK ET AL MOTOR VEHICLE WINDOW Filed March 1930 Inventor A Home y June 13, 1933.
Patented June 13, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MOTOR VEHICLE WINDOW Application filed lllarch 22, 1930. Serial No. 438,046.
This invention relates generally to doors and more particularly to new and useful 1mprovements in vehicle doors, such as are used on automobiles, and hasfor its primary ob- 5 ject to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a door of this character having a vertically slidable window therein and further including what may be termed a supple-' mental window mounted operatively on the usual main window and adapted for actuation independently, thereof for providlng means for ventilating the vehicle properly or for providing a comparatively small opening for any desired purpose without the necesslty of opening the usual window.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide a door of the character described embodying novel means common to the windows whereby same may be actuated independently of each other when desired, that is, the supplemental or vent1- lating window may be moved to its open or closed position when the main window 1s in raised or closed position.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a door for Vehicles of the aforementioned character which will be simple in construction, strong, durable, efficient and reliable 1n operation and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connectlon w th the accompanying drawing wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts thruout the several views and wherein Figure 1 is a view in side elevation looking at a door in accordance with this invention from the outer side thereof, said door having a portion thereof broken away to reveal the window operating mechanism.
Fig. 2 is a View in horizontal section through the windowed portion of the door.
Fig. 3 is a vertical cross sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.
Fig. 4 is a detail'view in perspective view I to be lowered.
the frame 7 adjacent the of the bell crank lever which constitutes one of the elements for actuating the ventilating window. Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the door is designated generally by the reference numeral 1 and is formed with a substantially rectangular wlndow opening in its upper portion. The door l includes the spaced inner and outer Walls 2 and 3 respectively which provide a well 4: withwhich the window opening communicates through a slot or opening 5.
As will be obvious, the window is operable through the opening or slot 5 for dis position in the well 4 when said window is A ventilating window is mounted for swinging movement in a horizontal plane in free vertical edge of the window 8 and comprises a suitable frame 9 having the glass 10 therein. The side of the frame 9 which is adjacent the free vertical edge of the window 8 is provided,.on its upper and lower ends, with trunnions which are journaled in suitable bearings provided therefor in the upper and lower sides of the frame 7 the lower trunnions extending downwardly through the frame7 and having fixed on its lower end portion an arm 11.
As best seen in Fig. 2 of the drawing, the ventilating window, when closed, is disposed in the plane of the main window 8 and when so disposed, is adapted to be moved up and down with said main window 8 when the main window 8 is in raisedposition the ventilating window is adapted to be swung outwardly as indicated in broken lines in Fig. 2 of the drawing, through the medium of a mechanism which will now be described.
A flat, metallic plate 12 is rigidly secured to the lower side of the frame 7 and depends actuates said bell crank therefrom in the well 4 of the door. The plate 12 is provided with a slot which inludes a horizontal portion 13 which merges with an upwardly directed, arcuate portion 14. A bell crank lever 15 is mounted for swinging movement in a vertical plane 011 one side of the plate 12, one arm of the bell crank lever being comparatively wide and being operatively connected to the arm 11 of the ventilating window through the medinm of a rod 16, said rod 16 having one end pivotally connected to the free end portion of the comparatively large arm of the bell crank lever 15 and its other end pivotally connected to the ,free'end portion of the arm 11. The other arm of the bell crank lever 15 extends adjacent the arcuate portion 14 of the slot in the plate 12. The comparatively wide arm of the bell crank lever 15 is recessed 011 one side and adjacent the other arm of said bell crank lever, as at 17.
A spring 18 has one end connected to the plate 12 and its other end connected to the free end portion of the depending arm of the bell crank lever 15 in a manner to yieldingly urge and maintain the ventilating window in its closed position.
A segmental gear 19 is rotatably mounted, as at 20, in the well 4 of the door 1 and is in mesh with a pinion gear 21 which is fixed on the inner end portion of a shaft 22 which is journaled in the inner wall 2 of the door and which has fixed on its other end portion an operating crank 23. Extending from the segmental gear 19 is an arm24 which extends adjacent one side of the plate 12 and has mounted rigidly on its free end portion the laterally extending fin 25.
The pin 25 projects through the slot in the plate 12 and is operatively engageable with the bell crank lever 15, as will be obvious.
In operation, when the arm 24 is swung downwardly from the position shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing, the pin 25 travels in the horizontal portion 13 of the slot in the plate 12 for lowering the main and ventilating windows, it being understood, of course, that the ventilating window is in its closed position. When the arm 24 is again swung up wardly the pin 25 travels in the opposite direction in the horizontal portion 13 of the slot and the windows are, of course, raised.
when the windows have reached the limit of their upward movement, the i in the position seen in Fig. 1, and is about to enter the arcnate portion 14 of the slot.
pon continued upward movement of the arm 24 to the position indicated in broken lines in Fig. 1 of the drawing, the pin 25 travels in the arcuate portion 14 of the slot. l/Vhen the pin moves upwardly through the arcuate portion 14 of the slot, it engages the crank lever 15 and lever in a manner to swing the ventilating window outwardly through the medium of the rod 16 and the arm 11.
The recess 17 in the bell crank lever 15 receives the pin 25 when said pin is substantially in its uppermost position and in addition provides a shoulder with which the pin is engageable upon downward swinging movement of the arm 24, for positively actuating the bell crank lever for swinging the ventilating window to its closed position.
This means for moving the ventilating window toward its closing position is in addition to the spring 18. The spring 18 must not be strong enough to close the ventilating window by itself.
It is believed that the many advantages of a structure in accordance with this invention will be readily understood, and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
