STORM-PROTECTOR FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,486, dated September 23, 1884.
Application filed February 23, 1884. (No model.)V
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK l?. STONE, of Chicago, in the -county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storm-Protectors for Covered Carriages or Vehicles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and convenient adjustable storm-protector which shall be connected operatively with the boot or lap-protector, which latter I 'make movable and flexible out of suitable material, so as to be raised and lowered in connection with the hinged window or stormprotector.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a central section of a carriage bodyA and top, showing my invention in the closed position. Fig. 2 is a similar section showing my improvementin the open position. Figs. 3 to 7, inclusive,areviews of different parts detached for better illustration, which will all be understood from the following detail description 5 and Fig. 8 shows a hansom-cab with my improvements applied in connection with a lever, so th at they can be operated by the driver.
A indicates an ordinary covered carriage;
l B,`a swinging storm-protector hinged toV the front bow of the carriage-top, andalso hinged or otherwise flexibly connected to the boot C,
which latter may be made of leather, cloth, rubber, or of narrow slats secured to oil-cloth, leather, or the like, and is fastened suitably to the frontend of the boX, as illustrated.
I provide suitable locking mechanism-such as illustrated, or any other that may be adapted to the purpose-for closing up the boot and storm-protector. (See Fig. 3 of t-he drawings.) This locking mechanism, as illustrated in Fig. 3, consists, simply, in catches or bolts controllable by a handle, D, which serves at the same time to swing outward and inward the stormprotector.
' I also provide suitable means for holding or bracing the storm-protector and boot out in the position shown in Fig. 2.
E in Figs. l and 4 indicates a hook pivoted to the storm-protector and adapted to engage with a catch, F, fastened to the front bow of the carriage-top, as illustrated; but any other suitable means for staying the storm-protector in its outward position may be employed.
Instead of having braces or stays to hold the storm-protector and boot in the outward position, they may in some cases be held in that position by being connected with the dashboard, as illustrated in Fig. 2.
Vhen the storm protector and boot are closed, as shown in Fig. 1, the carriage is entirely protected from the weather, and when it is open, as shown in Fig. 2, the boot is sol 'nected by a rod, M, to a curved arm, N, se-
cured to the storm-protector B. In this figure the full lines and the dotted lines indicate `thc operation by the driver using the lever K.
My storm-protector and boot may be disconnected from each other by unhinging, and, if desired, the former folded up under the top of the carriage, as has been done heretofore, and at the same time the boot may be rolled up or bent forward over the dash-board; but ordinarily it will not be necessary to disconnect the storm-protector and the boot.
I am aware that a storni-protector hinged to a carriage-top is old, and that it is old to connect a flexible boot to a storm-protector; but, so far as I am aware, it is new with me to connect a flexible boot to a storm-protector that is hinged to the carriage, so that the boot and protector may move in and out together.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. The combination of the carriage-top, a storm-protector hinged thereto, and a flexible boot or lap-protector, the two latter being -hinged or otherwise iieXibly connected, so as to move in and out together, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. The combination of the carriage-top, the storm-protector hinged thereto, the boot flexibly connected to the storm-protector, the bolts for locking the protector when closed, and the IOO braces for holding it open, substantially as In testimony whereof I have hereunto sub- 1o described; scribed my name this 6th day of February,
3. The combination of the carriage-top, the A. D. 1884:. hinged storm-protector, the curved arm se- 5 cured thereto, the pivoted lever at the rear v FRANK P. STONE.
