ADJUSTABLE ANTIGLARE' DEVICE m ma Keller, Detroit, Mich. nppl eaii hiviay' s, 1932.. Serial No. 611,514,
6 Claims (01. 2-42) It is obviously a well known fact that in driving an automobile at night the glare from the lights of the; oppositely moving vehicle on thehighway has. a most, blinding effect upon the driVer s'eyes,
and quite frequently. very serious accidents 1 occur as result of this menace to motorists. The invention is, as; equally, advantageous in effectively shielding the eyes from the, bright rays of the sun 1 when travelingina direction toward the same. This is of course a condition thatconfronts every motoristas well as that of the glare f the lights .l
- to that of spectacles; Sheet metal member 8 has of the oppositely moving vehicles. v p L My invention primarily, is designed for the purpose. of. completely overcomin t is .difliculty by providing a device to be worn upon the head while night; driving, and'which is adjustable in such a manner as to render the'same susceptible to the proper focus to suit the eyes of any person adapts edto the use of the invention. Oneofi theadvantages of the inventionis that itxis very; light in weight and is not burdensome to wean, It maybe attached. to the head quickly and likewise removed atwilLwhen not in use. The invention is designed toshield the eyes from the bright center. of the. lights of the oppositely moving vehicle ina manner so as to obviate reflection of the light upon'the metal of the-device, thus makingit restfulupon the eyes regardless of the period of time it is being in continuous 1156.. Q i V My invention possesses further advantages, all of which will be clearly revealed during the course of the following detailed description, illustrated throughout the accompanying drawing, and more fully pointed out in the appended claims.
With reference to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a complete underneath View of the invention and showing the same in a maximum opened position; also illustrating the optical vision through the device consistent with this particular adjustment. 1
Figure 2 is atop plan view of the complete invention showing the same attached to the head fornormal use, and broken as indicated; theinvention is also shown in this view in a maximum closed position.
Figure 3 is a front closed position. I l I I Figure 4 is a partial rear elevation of the invention. t a
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken substantially upon line 5-5 of Figure 3. I
The invention comprises two units, each formed elevation of the device in a i of a single sheet of "metal and having, top portion I 1 and opening in the front thereof as at 2, also fin pivotally connected to "the nose contacting portion 7A 3 formed at right angles thereto and beinga part of the unit. .It is also seen that the rear edge of portion 1, is doubled backasat 4 to obviatethe sharp edge of the metal adapted to contactv the head when the device is adjusted as in Figurel. The aforesaid units are also provided with vertical outer wall 5 ,.and inner wall 6% indicated. Framework 7 is provided and is-oom'posed of a work having portion TA formed as in Figure 1 which is adapted to conformgto the nose, similar outwardly turned ears 9, inopposed relation and adapted tobepivotally secured to framework 7by rivets 10 respectively. d Both units as previously'described areadjustalole relative to member 8 and as illustrated in Figures land 2,inthe following manner:
Referring more particularlyto Figures 1, 2 and 5, it is observedv that member v8 has portion 11 formed thereon and lever 12 pivotally secured to the same. by rivet 13 where" indicated, and links l4 pivotally connected to the 'saidflever by rivets 15 respectively, and the opposite end of the'said links portion l of the principal units of the. devicerespectively, by'rivets 16. Also upturnedears 17 formed upon the said ,leveiffto formstops for the same." In Figure 3 his seen that the metal forming opening ,2 in the principal units is deflected ins wardly and forming thereby respective 'pins'l8 shown.
Referring to Figure 4 it is also observed that shield 19 is formedintegral with each of the principal units of the device.
In Figure 2 a metal strap 20 isprovided, one end of whichis pivotally secured to portion 11 of member 8 by rivet 13, and theopposite end thereof secured to flexible band 21'. The .pur-. pose of the said strap is to conform to the top of the head A and supporting the device in a manner so as to relieve pressure of the same through portion 7A of framework 7, upon the nose.
In Figure 5 the lower. portionof member 8 is formed as at 22 i i-order to'form' a stop for as indicated.
Framework '7 is substantially reinforced by 10.5
metal 23 as shown in Figure 4.
With referencetoFigure. lhuman eyes 3 are indicated and the passage of the optical vision through the device in a maximum opened posi-' tion is shown by the dotted lines in this View, and
single portion of wire as shown. The said frame I s i o It is further revealedthat the ends of Y band 21 are connected to framework 7 as at 21A.
of framework'l one the manufacturing cost of the same would obviously permit a selling price that would be within the reach of every one.
. It is suggested that virtually the entire device he made of sheet aluminumowingto the durability and lightness in weight -of'this metal, however any lightweight material may be used for.
this purpose; I
1 It is apparent that I have hereinabove described, with the aid of the accompanying drawing, one precise embodiment of my invention,
, however I'reserve the right to make certain minor changes in the construction or the design thereof, in the event that this condition presentsitself during any probable further development of the same for the market, but in' any eventuality a departure from the general principle as disclosed would be consistently avoided. Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is: v r i 1. In an-adjustableanti-glare device,,a pair of oppositely disposed units forthe same, the
said units having a top portiomouter and inner depending vertical walls and front portion, vision passage within the said front portion, also a fin formed of and at right angles to each of the said units and'extending outwardly therefrom.
2. In an adjustable anti-glare device, a pair of oppositely disposed units, a framework disposed intermediatethe said units, a vertical member arranged adjacent the front of the said framework, means whereby the aforesaid units are'pivotally connected to the said framework and vertical member for the purpose of rendering the device susceptible to focus suitable to the eyes. v
3.; In a device of the character described, a framework and a vertical member for the device,
a portion formed upon the top of the said member, extending forwardly and at right angles thereto, a flexible band and a metal strap for the device and one end pivotally secured to the said extending portion and the opposite end thereof secured to said flexible band, the said strap adapted to conform to the top of the head, and the said band adapted to hold the device upon the head.
- 4-. In a device of the character described, a pairv of oppositely disposed metallic units having an inner wall, a vertical member disposed intermediate the said units, the metal of the inner wall of thesaid. units adjacent the said member being formed at right angles thereto and forming thereby a shield for preventing the light from blinding theeyes.
5; In a device of the class described, a pair of oppositely arranged units having a top surface, a vertical member intermediate the said units, ahorizontally extending portion upon the topof the said member, a lever pivotally secured to the underneath surface of'the said portion, a stop formed upon eachend ofthe said lever, a link pivotally secured to each end of the said lever and the opposite ends of the said links being pivotally secured toaforesaid top surface oftheunits respectively, and in order to render the same adjustable relative to the aforesaid vertical member.
6. In an adjustable anti-glare device, a pair of opposed units, each having an outervertical wall, means within the said units for passage of vision therethrough, means within the same for preventing the light through the said passage from reflecting upon the inner surface of the outer vertical wall of the said units, and further means within the said units'effecting a shield to prevent blinding the eyes from the glare of the light a vertical member and'framework adjacent the rear of the same-intermediate the aforesaid units, means whereby the said units are adjustable'relatively to the said vertical member and framework, means upon the top of the said member 'forsupporting the lastnamed means, also meansfor supporting the device upon the head and for retaining the same thereupon in a fixedand'focused manner.
