HOOD FOR AUTOMOBILES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 737,467, dated August 25, 1903.
\ Application filed June 18,1903. Serial No. 161,988. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it rmty concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN PIOHL, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Automobile-Hoods, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is an isometric perspective view of my improved automobile-hood. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of thesame on line 2 2, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. p
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in metallic hoods designed for use in connection with motor-carriages for the purpose of protecting mechanism used in onjunctio'n therewith, the object of the invention being to manufacture such hoods of metal united at the meeting edges in such manner that the union will be very strong and ornamental.
Referring to the drawings, A A are respectively the side and top plates, which may be of any suitable character of material, though sheet metal is preferred.
2 is a door'panel hung on suitable hinges 3, connected with the side plate and locked in position when desired by means of the catch 4, which may be of any suitable construction, or a lock may be substituted, if desired. Around the edges of the door-panel 2 is secured a head 5, which is formed with a longitudinal slot or kerf in the same, permitting the metal of the panel 2 to be inserted therein, as best shown in the sectional View, Fig. 3, after which the bead 5 is pressed upon said panel 2 to more firmly secure said bead in position thereon. Connected with the sloping end portion of the top plate A is another door 2, secured to said plate by hinges 3 and catch 4, which latter door is formed in the same manner as the door-panel 2 of the side wall. In the upper portion of the top plate is a third door-panel 2", which is bound and securedin position,as are panels 2 and 2, but formed without the wings hereinafter referred to.
Struck from the metal of the plates 2 and 2 are wings 6 integral with said plates, but deflected obliquely outwardly therefrom, so as to provide ventilating-openings for well,- understoodv purposes.
In the manufacture of articles from sheet metal by means of dies it will be found that the edges of such parts as the wings 6 are 'burred or roughened, caused by the fact that the metal at the edges hangs'slightly in the forming-dies, leaving thereon edges which are rough and sometimes very sharp. To remove these edges in small articles by means of an acid-bath is a comparatively easy matter; but with articles of the size of the usual automobile-hood the only practicable way is to separately file 0% each edge to smoothness, thus calling for a considerable outlay for labor. To save this expense and'at the same time produce a more ornamental finish of the completed hood, a rod, as '7, provided with a longitudinal kerf in one side thereof, is bent to the required form, corresponding to the contour of the exposed edge of the wings 6, the kerf fitting over the edge thereof, and the metal of said rod (which is somewhat ductile) is then slightly compressed to secure it in position, surrounding the outer edges of said wings. If desired, instead of compressing the metal rod 7 or when the rod is compressed solder may be used to secure said rod in position upon said rings, where it is firmly held against accidental displacement.
Between the side plate A and top plate A is a plate B, obliquely disposed and connected to said side and top plates by means of FIE? slotted rods 0 O, a longitudinal kerf extending into said rods throughout their length, into which is passed the metal of plates B, A, and A, whereby the said plates are held firmly in position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, at the same time covering and protecting the burred or roughened edges thereof. If desired, solder may be used in conjunction with the slotted rods 0 to secure a more firm connection of the parts indicated.
I am aware that minor changes in the construction, arrangement, and combination of the several parts of my device can be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without in the least departing from the nature and principle of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is
1. -In a hood of the character described, a plurality of metallic walls, an interposed plate between the adjacent edges of said walls, and a slotted metallic member embracing the opposite edges of said interposed plate, and the contiguous edge portions of said walls; substantially as described.
2. In a hood of the character described, a metallic side wall and top Wall separated one from the other alonglongitudinal 1ines,a plate between the edges thereof within such longitudinal division, and a slotted metallic bar adapted to embrace the opposite edges of said plate, and the adjacent edges of said walls and connect therewith said interposed plate; substantially as described.
3. In ahood of the character described,walls divided along predetermined lines, plates in- JOHN PIoHL.
