RICHARD REEDER, OF BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA.
STORM-CURTAIN FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 702,480, dated June 17, 1902.
Application filed December 7,1901. Serial No. 85,035. (No model.)
- of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storm-Curtains and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in storm-curtains for use on buggies and other vehicles having a top. This curtain is attached to the front of the vehicle,as will be more particularly explained hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a rear view of the curtain as it will appear when in position on the vehicle. Fig. 2'is a modified View of a means of attaching the curtain to the roof of the vehicle. Fig. 3 isa side view of a spring device for locking the pivoted brace portion when extended. Fig. 4: is an enlarged view of thejoining-sleeve' used in the brace C. Fig. 5 is a view of the plan I prefer to use in attaching the curtain to the carriage-roof.
In the drawings, A represents the stormcurtain.
a a are windows.
a is an arm opening in the curtain. the opening in the same for the lines.
a is
p B B are cross braces or straps, having hooks Z) at either end to attach curtain to the 'uprights of the buggy-top.
O O are iron braces placed vertically on the curtain and securely fastened to the same by any suitable means. These braces are made in two parts and are united near the center by the sleeve 0. In these sleeves are slots 0 in which to operate the set-screw c.
C is the pivoted portion of the brace C, being pivoted to the lower part at 0 In Fig. 1 this extension part will be seen when connected with the upper part of the brace C and will also be seen disconnected. When it is connected and the sleeve 0 is drawn down and the extension part Cjis made to enter the same, then to furtherstrengthen the brace Iprovide a spring B, fastened to the extension part 0 at B. At the upper end of the spring B is a prong made at right angles with shaped part c on the other side.
the spring to enter a hole in the part 0' and into the brace C. This spring serves as a locking device to hold the brace rigid when in position.
The lower ends of the braces O terminate in a forked device for attaching the curtain to the upper edge of the dashboard. This is effected by the fork slipping down over the board, the part c on one side and the spring- The mode of attachment at the top will be by the device shown in Fig. 5, as that shown in Fig. 2 is a modification of the attaching device as shown in Fig. 5. In the latter the upper end of the brace c terminates in a bent portion 'of the carriage-top. This spring has two parts (1 and d, and between these two parts the upper end of the brace (having a head 0 is made to enter and is there held by this spring. This I show asa modification of the attaching device as seen in Fig. 5.
When the curtain is ,in place on the carriage, the lines pass through the opening a and when the driver has need to use his whip he can thrust his arm through the opening 61. Both of these openings will be closed by a flap. The openings 0; a willhave the usual glasscovering to see through, and these lights will be securely fastened to the curtain and held in position by means of any suitable means.
The storm-curtain such as I have described can be speedily and conveniently put in position from the inside of the carriage orbuggy, thus having an advantage over other ourtains.
One advantage in making the braces C in section is that the curtainwhen not in use may be folded up into a small and convenient package and be stored away under the seat. r 7
Having thus shown and fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s-
board; and the braces B terminating in hooks b to attach the curtain to the uprights of the buggy-top; all combined and arranged, substantially as described and shown.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
RICHARD REEDER.
