DETACHABLE AND REATTACHABLE PIVOTED ENGINE HOOD PANEL Original Filed Aug. 18, 1952 AT TY DETACHABLE AND REA'ITACHABLE PIV OTED ENGINE HOOD PANEL Phillip F. Steiner, Lincolnwood, Ill., assignor to International Harvester Company, a corporation of New Jersey sclaims. (Griso-69) This invention relates to engine enclosures and more A particularly concerns a pivotally mounted quickly attachable and detachable hood portion of such an enclosure. This application is a continuation of my application Serial No."30.4,93 0,` ledAugust 18, 1952, now abandoned.
The principal object of this invention is the provision of asimpliiied economically produced and assembled hood andattaching means therefor particularly adapted for use uponinternal combustion engine power units. .l A further object is the provision of a novel engine hood-supporting structure bridging the space between the radiator and cowl of an engine enclosure and having hookforming inverted channel means cooperable with a ledge therebelow for detachable connection with an upstanding flange along an edge of a hood panel.
Astill'further object is the provision of an improved engine hood panel khaving an upstanding flange along an edge thereof as a 'component of a quick-attachable pivot connection for mounting the panel over an engine.
` The above and other desirable objects inherent in and encompassed'by the invention are elucidated in the ensuing specication, the appended claims, and the annexed drawings, wherein:
Figure l is a side elevational View of an internal combuston engine power unit having an engine enclosure embodying a hood and hood support constructed according to'this invention;
Figure 2iis a transverse sectional View taken through the hood-supporting bridge structure and the hood at a plane indicated by the line 2-2 of Figure l;
:l Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view taken similar to Figure 2, illustrating details vof the bridge structure and hood panels pivotally mounted thereon in their lowered engine-enclosing position; and
` Figure 4 is arview corresponding to Figure 3 but showing'only one of the hood panels in an elevated position, and illustrating by dot-ted lines a fully elevated position wherein the panel is unhooked from the bridge structure and 'detachable therefrom. y A
With continued reference to the drawings the power unit- 11' illustrated in Figure l comprises an engine E mounted upon ay base 12. An engine radiator shell 13 -is mounted upon the left or front end of the base, whereas a cowl is mounted on `the opposite end thereof. The radiator shell 13 and -the cowl 14 are part of the enclosure for the engine E and constitute spaced-apart hood supporting structures, `having upper portions 15 and 16 at higher elevation than the engine. A supporting bridge structure 17 comprises an elongated lower plate 18 resting upon 'and extending between the upper portion 15 and -16 of the support structures 13 and 14. Upper plate 19 is mounted upon the plate 18 to which it is secured by a plurality of spot welds 21 of which three are illustrated in Figure 3. Cap screws 22, Figure 2, are used for at- -taching'the rear end of the bridge structure 17 to the cowl `14 Iand similar cap screws (not shown) are used Hook means in the form of inverted channels 23 and 23 are kformed adjacent opposite longitudinal edges 24 and 24' of the upper plate 19. The inverted channel 23 has a riser portion 25, a declining portion 26 and a crest portion 27 between the portions 25 and 26. Corresponding portions are respectively designated 25', 26' and 27 for the inverted channel 23. The plate edges 24 and 2 4 are above and in spaced contiguity with upper faces 28 and 28 of panel supporting ledges 29 and 29 adjacent longitudinal edges 31 and 31 of the lower plate 18.. 'Ihus the edges 24 and 24 cooperate with the faces 28 and 28 -in forming narrow openings 32 and 32 to provide access to the inverted channels 23 and 23.l A hood panell 33 of sheet metal has a substantially horizontal portion 34 and a downwardly extending side panel portion 35. An inner edge portion 36 of the panel 33 Vhas an upturned flange 37 extending the full length of such edge of the panel and coextensive with the declining rportion 26 of the inverted channel `23. When the panel portion 34 is in the substantially horizontal position illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 the ange 37 extends vertically and is of a width vertically to press against the under side of the crest portion 27 while the edge portion-36 bears against the ledge face 28. l
Releasable means iu the form of hold-down latch de- 1 vices 38 are employed for holding the portion 34 of the panel 33 in the horizontal position. The declining portion 26 of the inverted channel 23 is abuttable by the hood panel flange 37 to prevent the hold-down device 38 detaching the panel from the bridge structure tl7.
Referring to the rear hold-down latching device 38 i associated with the panel 33, that is, the device illustrated radiator shell 13.
at the right in Figures land 2, this device can be seen to comprise a bracket 39 secured to the cowl 14 and provided with an upper ilange 41 anda lower flange 42. These flanges are apertured at 43 and 44 to slidably receive a latch rod 45 having a head 46 on its lower end. A latch member 47 xed upon the rod 45 serves as an abutment for a helical compression spring 48 surrounding the rod and expansively reacting between member 47 and the bracket ange 41 to yieldably urge such member and the rod 45 downwardly. A complemental latch member 49 is secured to the inner side of the hood portion 35 in position to register vertically with the member 47 when the hood is lowered whereby the spring 48 is eifective for-,pressing the member 47 downwardly against the member 49 to hold the hood in a downwardly closed position illustrated in Figures 2 and 3.
The details of the hold-down latch device 38 at the front end of the panel 33 Vare identical with those of the device 38 just described. The front device is attached lto the radiator shell 13 in the position illustrated by the dotted lines of Figure l. A rearward device 38 shown at the left of Figure 2 is associated with a hood panel 33 similar to the panel 33. This device is also ,attached to the cowl 14. A fourth hold-down latch device (not shown) is associated with the forward end vof the panel 33 and attached to the radiator shell similar to the forward device 38' associated with panel 33.
Assuming that -it is desired to raise the hood panel 33, manual'pressure is applied upwardly to the latch heads 46, Figure l, thereby forcing the latch members V47 upwardly to release the members 49 whereupon the hood panel can be swung upwardly to a raised position asillustrated by the dotted line of Figure 2 and the solid line of Figure 4. In this position the flange 37 serves as a prop against the inverted channel 23 to maintain the panel 33 in the upwardly pivoted position. Thus the ilange 37 constitutes a pivoted anchorage and prop means. Should it be desired to completely detach the panel 33 vit will be further elevated or pivoted upwar'dly about 'the line of contact at the edge portion 36 with the associated ledge face 28 to attain the posiv tion illustrated by dotted lines of Figure 4 to place the flange 37 in a substantially horizontal position wherein it is withdrawable horizontally from 4the channel opening 32. It is thus convenient for a serviceman to completely remove the hood panel for obtaining access tothe engine.
When it is desired to replace (or initially install) the panel 33 it is held in the position illustrated by the dotted line of Figure 4 incident to inserting the flange v37 through the opening 32 into the inverted channel 23 whereupon the panel is pivoted downwardly as it slides and rocks against the ledge Aface 2S. When the panel is fully lowered the latches 38 associated therewith can be reconnected for firmly holding the panel in place.
Manipulatons as those described in connection with raising, removing and yreplacing the panel 33 are performable with respect to the panel 33.
Although the hood panels herein illustrated are detachably associated with the supporting bridge structure 17 therefor the springs 48 of the hold-down latch devices 38 are effective to prevent rattling of these panels during operation of the engine. The profiles of the panels 33 and 33 as illustrated in Figure 2 conform to engaged profiles 51 and 52, Figure l, upon the radiator shell 13 and the cowl 14. When the panels are held against the profiles 51 and 52 the upper edges o-f the flanges 37 and 37 press against the underside of the inverted channel crests 27 and 27 while the edge portions 36 and 36 press firmly against the ledge faces 28 and 28. The panels are thus locked by these firmly engaged surfaces (and by the hold-down latch devices 38 against vibration relative to the radiator shell and cowl during vibration of the engine attendant to its operation.
Hav-ing thus described a single preferred form of the invention with the view of clearly aud conciselyillustrating the same, I claim:
