' Application June 10, 1936, Serial No. 84,574
1 Claim. (01. 177-329) This invention relates to an automobile signal The source of electric energy for lighting the light. lanips 2E! and 2| may be the starting and light- It aims to provide a novel construction adapted for mounting or connection to a lamp bracket or other part at the rear of an automobile and to be operated by switch means on the instrument board or the like, to indicate by a novel illuminated means, the direction of an intended turn.
It is also aimed to provide novel means at the switch or switches employed, to positively indicate which switch is associated with the mechanism for the particular turn.
The more specific objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the description following taken in connection with accompanying drawing illustrating an operative embodiment.
In said drawing:
Figure 1 is a view in elevation and partly in electrical diagram;
Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1, and
Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Referring specifically to the drawing wherein like reference characters designate like or similar parts, a signal box or casing is provided at II] and subdivided by a partition as at II providing compartments at I2 and I3. The front wall I4 of the box or casing I0 is cut away as at I5 providing an arrow shaped opening for signaling purposes and is cut away as at I6, in the shape of an arrow also for signaling purposes, the cut away portions l5 and I6 respectively being opposite the compartments I2 and I3. A glass panel I1 is fastened in the rear of the wall I4 and is preferably red in color and has a letter L in black delineated thereon at the opening I5 and the letter R. in black delineated thereon opposite the opening I6, to respectively indicate left and right hand turns.
The box or casing III may be mounted in any suitable manner at the rear of an automobile or other vehicle as by means of a bracket I9 and accessory parts, engaging a lamp bracket on the automobile or any other suitable part.
In the chambers I2 and I3, lamps 20 and 2I are preferably secured in suitable sockets 22 and 23, respectively.
ing battery for the automobile as suggested at 24. One terminal thereof is grounded as at 25 and one terminal of each of the lamps is also grounded as at 26. From the other terminal of the battery 24, a conductor 21 leads, branching into conventional switches at 28 and 29 from which conductors 30 and 3I lead to the lamp sockets 22 and 23, respectively.
The caps of the switches 28 and 29 are shown and are preferably white in color, the switches being of any conventional form.
To positively indicate which switch should be operated to indicate a right or left hand turn, triangular or arrow shaped plates 32 and 33 are connected thereto, being colored red or otherwise as preferred and having the letters L and R delineated thereon in black or otherwise to contrast with the color thereof.
It will be seen that when a left hand turn is to be made, the plate 32 is operated so that the circuit through the lamp 20 will be closed to indicate that a left hand turn is contemplated. On the other hand, when a right hand turn is to be made, the plate 33 is operated to control the switch 29 and energize the lamp 2I to illuminate the right hand signal.
As shown in the drawing casing III has the upper and lower walls 34 and 35, respectively, also the partition I I and end walls 36 secured to the rear wall 31. The bottom wall is provided with an integral U-shaped recess 38 to receive the lower edge of the front wall I4, that is removable for rep acing the lamps 20 and 2|, and is held in place by means of bolts and nuts 39 secured .thereto and to the rear wall 31.
Changes may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention.
I claim as my invention:--
A vehicle signal of the class described comprising a casing having a flange projecting beyond one face thereof, a signal wall resting on said flange and disposed against said face, said signal wall having integral innner and outer sheets, a diaphanous panel between said sheets, and bolt means fastening the signal wall to the casing and urging said sheets together to hold the panel against rattling.
HAROLD REDMAN.
