STORM-APRON FO R VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 718,413, dated January 13, 1903.
Application filed May 16. 1901. Serial No. 60,445, (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, ALLEN D. BAYLES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kan sas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Storm- Aprons for Wheeled Vehicles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to adjustable stormaprons for wheeledvehicles, and has for its object the provision of a storm-apron of this class adjustable to accommodate any vehicle having a dash and of simple, strong, durable,
and cheap construction.
To this end the invention consists in certain novel and peculiar features of construction and combinations'of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed, and in order that it may be fully understood reference is to be had to the accompanying drawingsfin which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the body and top of a buggy provided with a stormapron embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal section of the dash and of the elastic portion of the apron. Fig. 3 is a view on a still greater scale, showing the connection between the clamp-hooks and the spring which gives elasticity and adj ustability to the apron.
In the said drawings, 1 designates the body of a buggy, and 2 the top, the latter having outwardly-projecting buttons 3. p
The storm-apron, as usual, consists of the front portion 4, to extend upwardly from the dash into the top, the side portions 5, and the vertical front portion 6, which embraces the outer side of the dash. The lower end of portion 6 is gathered and formed into a tube' 7, the latter also being an integral part of said portion, so that its length may be varied. Secured loosely by and located within said gathered tube 7 is a contractile spring 8, preferably of steel and japanned or otherwise coated for its better preservation, the ends of said spring being screwed to the threaded shanks 10 of a pair of inwardly-disposed hookclamps 9, or in lieu of said threaded connection the parts may be otherwise attached to each other. The spring'S is of such proportion that it ordinarily holds the hook-clamps apart the proper distance for engagement with the narrowest dash and may be stretched sufficiently to accommodate thewidest. It is essential that the hooked ends of the clamps 9 be larger than the gathered tube 7 in order that the contraction of the spring 8 may not draw them into said tube and out of reach. It will therefore be understood that an apron of a single size or gage is applicable to all styles of vehicles.
In practice the hooks are clamped to th end posts of the dash, as shown in Fig. 2, the opposite end of the apron being attached by means of tongues or strips 11, buttoned to buttons 3, (one only of which appears,) the portion 4 protecting the occupants when driving in the face of the rain and the side portions when driving at an angletheretoin the usual manner. 7
From the above description it will be apparent that I have produced an adjustable storm-apron for wheeled vehicles which embodies the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of invention and which is susceptible of change in some particulars without departing from its spirit and scope.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A storm-apron for buggies and like vehic'les, having its front portion gathered and formed into a transverse tube, a contractile spring fitting loosely in said tube, and a pair of clamp-hooks having their shanks secured to the ends of said spring and their hooked portions larger than said tube, the whole for use substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
