Patented Dec. 26, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of motor vehicle doors whereby increased headroom for the exit and entrance of riders is provided for.
In the modern automobile the top of the vehicle is so extremely low that passengers entering and leaving the vehicle experience considerable difiiculty in making such entrances and exits, it being necessary for them to bend down in order to avoid striking their head coverings and even their heads on the roof of the vehicle at the top of the dOOr. This is particularly annoying to taxicab passengers who usually engage a taxi for a relatively short ride and whose hands ar frequently encumbered by baggage.
Oneof the objects of my invention is to provide a vehicle door construction which will carry a section of the vehicle top above the door mounted on it so that sufiicient headroom is afforded when the door is opened.
Another object of my invention is the provision of means within the vehicle door whereby the top section mounted on the door is automatically lifted and moved out of the way when the door is opened and automatically returned to a securely closed position when the door is closed.
Another object is to provide a leakproof joint between the said movable top section and the adjacent edges of the fixed top of the vehicle.
Another object is to provide a linkage system between the movable top section and the vehicle door whereby greatly increased leverage is provided by relatively simple, strong and efiicient means for smooth and easy operation of the top section lifting and lowering mechanism, and all mounted in the door.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the following description and claims and the accompanying drawings. i For the purpose of this description the accompanying drawings are referred to, in which- Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a .vehicle door showing the top section lifting mechanism with the vehicle door open;
. Fig. 2 is a section at right angles to that of Fig. 1 of the vehicle door showing the top section lifting mechanism and the top section in closed position;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the vehicle showing the door and top section in a closed position.
Referring to the drawing, I is the vehicle door, 2 is the movable top section hinged to the door at 3 by means of a conventional type of curled over hinge having a central rod 4 fixed rigidly to the movable top panel section 2 through hinge members 3a and turning in hinge members 312. The rod 4 at its central point has rigidly aillxed to it a toothed gear 5, and when the gear 5 and the rod 4 are rotated the top panel 2 is either raised or lowered according to the direction of rotation of these parts. Intermeshed with the gear 5 is the toothed spur gear 6 capped with the bevel gear 1. Gears 6 and l are fixed on rod la for rotation and alignment, rod la being mounted to rotate freely. Bevel gear I meshes with bevel gear 8 rigidly fixed to a rod 9 suitably mounted to rotate and to maintain the bevel gears l and 8 in mesh at all times yet free to rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, in whichever direction they may be driven by the gear it which is fixed to the rod 9 and in turn meshed with the rack II whose teeth are impressed or cut out of the thrust rod I2. The rotatable rods 1a and 9 are mounted for free rotation and alignment by the bearings lb and 9a which are suitably afi'ixed to the door by welding or other means.
Thrust rod I2 is slidably held in position by the guides and detents l3 and l3a and is of reduced diameter at its end l4 so as to slide through an opening [5 in the edge I of the door I. The reduced portion [4 of the push rod 12 is in juxtaposition to a wear plate It afiixed to the door frame I! and sunk into the said door frame, is provided at its extremity with an antifriction roller 24, so that when the door I is closed, by swinging on the hinges 28 the end of i2 bears against the wear plate l6. Push rod l2 also has affixed to it a retention collar l8 for limiting the expansion of a compression spring l9 whose opposite end is retained by the alignment detent I311. The movable top panel 2 at its upper edge is beveled inwardly at 20 and this bevel is lined with rubber or like compressible material 2 l. The horizontal edge of the top 22 of the vehicle where it comes in contact with the edge of the movable top panel is formed with an outward bevel 23, so that it will fit the bevel 20 of the movable panel 2. The side edges of the top panel and the complemental edges of the fixed top are preferably formed in substantially the same manner, as indicated at 21, so as to present a smooth water: tight overlapping seal when the door is closed. Any other suitable sealed closure, however, may be used.
The operation of the invention is as follows:
When the rider opens the door of the vehicle the compression spring I9 acting against the collar l8 forces the push rod l2 forward, causing the teeth II to rotate the gear l0 which rotates the bevel gear 8 both being attached to the rod 9,,
