4 Claims.

This invention relates to anti-rattling devices; and more particularly to devices for preventing the rattling and vibrating of automobile windows.

Heretofore, devices of the class herein described have comprised a resilient member adapted to be attached to a window sill by means of screws, the resilient member having mounted thereon a rubber roller which engages the window to prevent rattling thereof. Such devices, however, are not applicable to windows on many of the late models of automobiles which have no screws available in the window sills to enable the anti-rattling device to be attached thereto.

It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an antirattling device for automobile windows, which can be mounted on window sills without resort to screws or similar eXpedients.

This and other objects are attained by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing, constituting a material part of this disclosure, and in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view, partly in section, of an automobile window having my anti-rattling device mounted thereon.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the anti-rattling device.

Referring to the drawing, in Fig. 3, the device is shown to comprise a bowed resilient member 5, having a downturned flat portion d, having angularly directed resilient arms 6 and l projecting from each side thereof. Attached to each arm adjacent the ends thereof are buttons 8, which are preferably made from a fibrous material, such as wood, compressed paper, or the like. However, the buttons may be made from other materials having frictional qualities of a similar nature.

The lower edge of the portion 4 is bowed inwardly at H, and has a centrally positioned tongue l2, bowed inwardly also.

In order that the device can be attached to a window sill by screws when such is possible, the member 5 is provided with a longitudinal slot, 9, the edges of which have a plurality of teeth I0 adapted to engage screws and enabling close adjustments.

In operation, the member '5 is placed on the upper side of a window sill Hi, (see Fig. 2) and pressed downwardly until the tongue I2 snaps over the bead IE on the inner wall of sill I4 adjacent the window glass l3. In some constructions the sill has no bead similar to H3, but in practically all windows, the sill either has a head or the side wall is turned inwardly at a short distance from the upper side of sill.

. In either event, the tongue I2 will snap over the bead or over the turned in portion of the sill.

When the tongue l2 has been snapped into position, the buttons 8, due to the resilient arms 6 and 1, press firmly against the window glass it and prevent vibrating and rattling thereof, at the same time allowing the glass to be raised or lowered without appreciable resistance.

The foregoing disclosure is to be regarded as descriptive and illustrative only, and not as restrictive or limitative of the invention, of which obviously an embodiment can be constructed including modifications without departing from the general scope herein indicated and denoted in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. An anti-rattling device for automobile windows, comprising a resilient member having a downturned portion at one end thereof, the lower edge of said downturned portion being bowed inwardly, an inwardly bowed tongue projecting from said lower edge, resilient arms projecting from each side of the downturned portion at an angle thereto, and friction buttons mounted in the free ends of said arms.

2. An anti-rattling device for automobile windows, comprising a member having a downturned portion having the lower edge thereof bowed inwardly, said lower edge having a centrally positioned inwardly bowed tongue, resilient arms projecting from the sides of said downturned portion, and friction means mounted on said arms.

3. An anti-rattling device for automobile windows, comprising a member having a downturned portion, an inwardly bowed tongue projecting from the lower edge of said downturned portion, resilient arms projecting from the sides of said downturned portion, and friction means mounted on said arms. 7

4. An anti-rattling device for automobile windows, comprising a member having a downturned portion, an inwardly bowed tongue projecting from the lower edge of said downturned portion, resilient arms projecting at an angle from the sides of said downturned portion, and friction means mounted on said arms.
