BRACKET FOR SUPPORTING A DIRECTION INDICATOR OR THE LIKE Filed April 28, 1957 INVENTOR.
A TTORNE Y5.
Patented May 2, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE INDICATOR OR THE LIKE Peter P. Gutierrez, Watsonville, Calif.
Application April 28,
Claims.
The present invention relates to improvements in a bracket for supporting a direction indicator or the like and its principal object is to provide a device of the character described that may 5 be easily applied to a hinge so as to support the direction indicator or other object thereon.
More particularly it is proposed to provide a bracket which may be clamped to one of the door hinges of a motor vehicle and firmly supported thereby, and at the same time allowing the door of the Vehicle to be freely opened and closed.
It is further proposed to provide a bracket for the purpose intended, which is simple in construction, durable and efficient, and which may be clamped upon hinges of various sizes.
The preferred form of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a rear elevation showing my bracket applied to'the hinge of a motor vehicle and illustrating a direction indicator supported on the bracket, together with the operating means for the direction indicator; and
Figure 2 a perspective view of the supporting bracket in its relation to the hinge of a motor vehicle.
While I have shown only the preferred form of my invention I wish to have it understood that various changes or modifications may be made within the scope of the claims hereto attached without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In carrying my invention into practice, and for the purpose of illustration, I provide a signalling device I, which may be operated by suitable means 2. The signalling device is mounted adjacent the top of a bracket 3 for swinging movement under control of: the operating means 2. Any other suitable object, such as a mirror, may be supported on my bracket.
The bracket is shown in detail in Figure 2 and is adapted for fastening to one of the door hinges of the motor vehicle, indicated at 5. The hinge may be of conventional form and includes two hinge straps t and l fastened to the door and the door frame respectively and provided with alined bearings 8 and 9 journalled on the hinge pin ill provided with a head H.
The bracket comprises two Vertical plates l2 and [3 arranged at right angles to one another, the plate l3 being intended to lie against the face of the body of the vehicle and being preferably curved to correspond to the contour of the vehicle body. Two horizontal plates l4 and 55 l5, substantially rectangular in form, project 1937, Serial No. 139,524
from the vertical plates into the angle formed by them, the horizontal plates being parallel and spaced from one another by a distance somewhat in excess of the height of the hinge as shown in the drawing.
These plates are formed, in the corners opposite the angle of the Vertical plates, with alined holes l6 adapted for alinement with the hinge pin, and the bracket is positioned by first removing the hinge pin, and then alining the bracket holes with the hinge bearings, reinserting the pin through the alined holes and bearings from the top, with the pin head resting on the upper horizontal plate, and then clamping the bracket in place by means of a screw ll threaded through the hole in the lower plate and bearing against the bottom face of the lowermost hinge bearing.
When thus positioned, the vertical plate l3 rests substantially against the body of the vehicle and a tongue l8 projects from the upper plate M into a space H) conventionally provided for between the hinge straps. An upright member 20 projects from the bracket, substantially in alinement with the vertical plate [2, and preferably curves away from the vehicle body, as shown, to give sufficient space for the operation of the signalling device i supported in the upper end of the upright member.
I claim:
1. A bracket for securing an object to a hinge projecting from a support, comprising a pair of vertical plates arranged at a right angle to one another, a pair of horizontal plates supported in the angle in spaced relation to one another so as to straddle the hinge, means for clamping the horizontal plates to the hinge and an upright member projecting from one of the vertical plates and having means for supporting the object in the upper end thereof, the vertical plates connecting the horizontal plates together and one of the vertical plates being shaped and positioned to lie against the hinge support to prevent the bracket from swinging in one direction about the hinge.
2. A bracket for securing an object to a hinge projecting from a support, comprising a pair of vertical plates arranged at an angle relative to one another, a pair of horizontal plates supported in the angle in spaced relation to each other so as to straddle a hinge, means for clamping the horizontal plates to the hinge, and a member projecting from one of the plates adapted to have an object supported thereon, the vertical plates connecting the horizontal plates together and one of the vertical plates being shaped and positioned to lie against the hinge support to prevent the bracket from swinging in one direction about the hinge.
3. A bracket for securing an object to a hinge, comprising a pair of vertical plates arranged at an angle relative to one another, a pair of horizontal plates supported in the angle in spaced relation to each other so as to straddle a hinge, means for clamping the horizontal plates to the hinge, and a member projecting from one of the plates adapted to have an object supported thereon, one of the plates having a tongue projecting between the hinge straps for holding the bracket against turning movement.
4. In combination, a hinge having a pair of straps pivotally secured together with a space arranged therebetween, a bracket disposed to one side of one of the straps and having a tongue projecting into the space on the other side of said strap to hold the bracket against turning movement, and means clamping the bracket to the pivot means of the hinge.
5. In combination, a hinge having a pair of straps pivotally secured together with a space arranged therebetween, one of the straps being securable to a frame and the other to a door, 10
tween the straps, and means clamping the brack- 15 et to the pivot means of the hinge.
