SUPPORT FOR VEHICLE-CANOPIES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 14, 1906.
Application filed February l, l906.` Serial No 298.912.
To all 1071/0711, t may concern:
Be it known that I, HERBERTL. JOHNSTON,
a citizen of the United States, residing atV Troy, in the county of Miami and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for Vehicleanopies; and I do declare the following to and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to improvements in supports for vehicle-canopies, and has for its object safe means for preventing the accidental detachment of the parts from their support under the vibrations due to the moving vehicle, 'all as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
Preceding a detail description of the invention reference is made to the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improhved canopy-support, showing the parts interlocked against accidental detachment. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing a slight modiiication.
In a detail description of the invention similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts.
a designates the outer runner, having upon its upper end a notcher d, to which the ends of the canopy-ribs a are attached, said ribs being connected at their outer ends to the the usual manner.
designates the stem, which is integral with the socket and which projects into the runner a. The said stem has a longitudinal opening g, which'eXtends a substantial distance into the stem. This opening runs the full length of the stem and communicates with the interior of the socket m. At the point between the socket m and the stem b there is an annular portion or iiange t, which receives a crown-piece 7c, to which the stretchers c are connected at their inner ends. The annular portion or flange i of the socket supports the runner a. On the interior of the runner a there is placed an elongated socket and plate-spring f, which is securely maintained also l on the interior of the runner and inalinement with the opening in the stem b by means of a plug c, which is forced into the top of the runner and binds the upper end of the spring against the interior of the ruimer. This plug also aords means for attaching. the notcher d by means of a suitable number of pins e. The lower end 7L of the spring f terminates in a shoulder which interlocks with the annular portion or iiange i of the socket, said spring projecting into the socket at the rear end thereof. In the construction shown in Fig. 3 the lower end h of the spring is held in engagement with said annular portion or-iiange c' by the extreme end of the supporting-arm n, which is projected into said socket. The said arm is secured in such position by a set-screw o, and it will be understood that said arm is of a suiiicient length and proper curvature to reach to the usual support in the vicinity of the vehicle-seat. As shown in Fig. 3, the end of the supporting-arm engages the spring at the rear of the socket. The construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is slightly different. The lower end of the spring projects into the socket at one side thereof, and the supporting-arma engages said spring on one side of said arm. The spring is in a similar manner held against the annular portion or flange i. The socket m has an opening m in a side thereof below the annular portion i in order to enable the iinger to engage the spring at the lower end to unlock it from said annular ortion when it becomes necessary to detach the canopy. In the saine manner the finger engages the end of the spring from the rear of the socket, as shown in Fig. 3. The spring f is preferable as a means for holding the runner in engagement with the socket and stem 5 but a latch may serve the same pur ose by pivoting it at-its upper end within t e runner and above the stem, such latch being substantially the shape of the spring f. A
Having described my invention, I claiml. In a support for vehicle-canopies, a runner, a socket having a stem projected into said runner and an annular portion or flange forming a support for the runner, a spring on the interior of the runner having its lower end terminated in a shoulder lying within the below said annular portion or flange,- and a supporting-arm projected into IOO ' the socket f flange, said runner having a longitudinal -opening therein,` aspring on vthe interior -of the runner and in line with the opening in the stem, said spring'havin'g its lower endt'erminated in a'shoulderf toengage the annular portion or flange of the socken-and a'fsupporting-arm projected intothe lsocket-and engaging said springl toh'old the same incon- -tact withsaid` annular portion or flange.
f3. Ina support for vehicle-canopies, a
`socket having aslotte'd stem projected therefrom andan annular portion or flange at the base ofsaid stem, said socket' having-an opening ma side thereof,-a'runner inclosing the stern andsupported upon saidfannular y portion or flange, afspring on\ the interior' ofsaid `runner in line with the slot `inthestem,said
spring having itslo'wer end terminated in a shoulder to inter-lookl with the annular portion or flange of the "socket,y the lower'end of j said spring being accessible throughfthe opening iny the side ofthe socket, and a 'supportssfisa j ing-arm projected into said socket and engaging on one side thereof the end of the l spring to hold it in contact-with the annular portion or flange of the socket. 4. A support for vehicle-canopies consistj ing of-a runner,'a socket having a recessed stern projected into said runner, and an annular portion or flange at the base of said j stem and upon which the runner is supported, va crown-piece attached to said annular portion or flange, means securable `within the runner and adapted to lockV said runner with the socket ,below the Yannular 'portion or flange, rand ya supporting-arm for said socket, the same being projected into the socket and Venga-ging the means for locking the'runner in position.
5. ln-a support for vehicle-canopies, a runner ,f asocket member havingira recessed stem projected into saidf runner, anfv annularflange `Aat the base of said-stem and upon whichthe runner is supported, a crown-piece attached to said flange, 'and means adapted to lockl the runner with the -socket member, the lsaid j means being projected into the socket member, substantially as specified.
