GAR WINDOW GUARD.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CAR-WINDOW GUARD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 10, 1905.
Application filed June 1, 1904- Serial No. 210,694.
To a, whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALBERT D. CooKE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Car-Window Guards or Shields, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of a guard or shield ap plicable to the side or body of a car, whereby should a window be opened drafts or blasts of air are prevented from reaching the passenger or occupant of the seat of the car adjacent to said window, said guard or shield being constructed of a frame composed of a novel sheet and novel means for supporting it on a member on the car.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a car-window guard or shield embodying my invention, including adjacent portions of the car. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of the guard or shield and the supporting-bracket therefor, on an enlarged scale, detached from each other. Fig. 3 represents a vertical section on line a a, Fig. 2, including the supporting member of the shield. Fig. 4 represents a horizontal section on line y y, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 represents a front view of a portion of the shield on the side opposite to that shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 6 represents a vertical section of a portion on line 2 2, Fig. 5. Fig. 7 represents an elevation of another form of the invention. Fig. 8 represents a horizontal section on line a a, Fig. 7. Fig. 9 represents a horizontal section on line b I), Fig. 7, on an enlarged scale.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a longitudinal]y-adjustable bracket, which consists of the back plate B, the front plate (1, the horizontal lugs D, which extend laterally from the top and bottom of the back plate B, the headed pins E, which extend forwardly from the back plate B, and the longitudinally-extending slot F in the front plate C, the upper wall of which has teeth or serrations G- thereon, with any of which the pins E may engage, whereby when the bracket is lengthened or shortened, and accordingly adjusted to the width of the panel with which it is to be connected, it may be held in the adjustment.
At the end of the plate C is the rearwardlyextending flange H, and at the end of the plate B is the rearwardly-extending flange J, in which latter is fitted the screw K, the inner end of which is swiveled on the follower L,
which occupies a position at the rear of the plate B and is movable in a direction to and from the flanges H J.
It will be seen that by raising the plate C or lowering the plate B the pins E leave the serrations or teeth 6, when the two plates can be moved in longitudinal direction to the right and left, respectively, as the case may be, so as to approximately adjust the space between the flange H and follower L to the width of the panel of a car to which the bracket is to be secured. The pins are now properly seated in the corresponding teeth, and the bracket is fitted on the panel. The screw K is now properly turned, whereby the follower L is pressed tightly against the contiguous side of the panel, and the bracket is thus firmly held in its adjusted position, it being also noticed that the bracket is practically located between adjacent seats, where it is adapted to support the screen M back of one seat and in front of the adjacent seat, and thus shield the occupant of the latter seat from drafts or blasts of air from the window in front of the same.
M designates a screen formed of the sheet N of fabric or other pliable material, whose corners are buttoned to the ends of the braces P, which consist of bars connected at their inner ends by the pivot Q, to which pivot is also connected the elbow or arm B, one limb S of which is adapted to enter the lugs D of the bracket, and thus sustain the screen in a vertical position, (most clearly shown in Fig. 1,) it being evident that the screen while of light construction is strong and durable and provides a sufficiently large area for the purpose intended.
When service of the device is no longer required, the arm R is raised from the bracket A, and the sheet may then be unbuttoned from the braces P and the latter with the arm R folded. The screw K may also be loosened, whereby the bracket may be removed and placed with the braces and elbow on the sheet and rolled with the same, forming a compact, convenient, and portable bundle for carrying, storing, &c.
When it is desired to have the screen a fixture of the car, ears T are connected with the car and the braces P pivotally connected therewith, as at U. Arms V are applied to opposite sides of the screen and are pivotally connected at one end with the braces P, the other ends being formed with hooks WV, which are adapted to engage with a keeper X in the recess Y in the panel of the car, it being evi dent that when the arms V are cleared of the keepers they may hang from their pivots and folded with the braces P into said recess Y, the sheet M also folding with the same thereinto, where the device may remain when not required for service.
The sheet and braces may be readily drawn out and the arms V connected with the keeper when the shield is in operative position, as shown more particularly in Fig. 7, it possessing all theadvantages of the previous construction in addition to that of remaining a fixture of the car.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a window-guard, a shield of pliable material, crossed braces secured to said shield, and means for connecting said braces at the central places of crossing.
2. In a window-guard, a shield of pliable material, crossed braces secured to said shield and an arm connecting said braces at their central places of crossing, said arm being provided with a supporting device.
3. In a window-guard, a shield of pliable material, crossed braces attached to said shield and an elbow, one limb of which connects said braces at their central places of crossing and the other limb is adapted to be detachably secured to a sustaining device.
4. In a car-window guard, a shield, in combination with a support therefor consisting of laterally-movable plates, a slot in one of said plates, teeth on one of the walls of said slot, a pin on the other plate adapted to engage with either of said teeth, one of said plates having means for receiving a member of said shield, and a tightening device on one ofsaid plates.
5. In a car-window guard, a shield, in combination with a support therefor consisting of laterally-movable plates, a slot in one of said plates, teeth on one of the walls of said slot, a pin on the other plate adapted to engage with either of said teeth, one of said plates having means for receiving a member of said guard, a screw fitted to one of said plates, and a tightening-follower engaged by said screw.-
