With the above andother-objects' in view the nature of which-will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention conplan view showing the tension-strap and take-up device. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing one end of the tension-strapand one of-the securing-hooks arranged in llne therewith. Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectiontaken on the line 5 5 of Fig. {1. Fig. 6 is a cross-section taken on the line 6 6 of Fig. 4, and Fig. 7 is a sectional plan view of the elastic strap by means of which the lower portion of the front is attached to the dash-.

substantially Ll-shaped, and. the terminals thereof are extended outward Yin opposite a direction, formingpint cs. 15, which are received in eyes 16 at t 'e extremities of, the frame-piece 12.- :The cross-bar 13 is located at a point intermediate the endsfofthe take-" up lever, so that as the take-up lever inward or outward on its pivotal connection with the frame-piece 12 the- strap members 8 and 9 are drawntoward each other orpe'rmitted to move away, from each other with.
the result thatithe points of attachment 10 may be caused to approach each other or allowed to move away fromeachotherqThe [relative location and arrangement-0f the pivot-points 15 andIthecross-bar -13 of the" take-up lever is such I that the lever when swung inward to'take up the tension-strap is locked'and remains so until-manipulated by hand toswing the lever outward again, whereupon the tension on the strap is relieved.
. l7 designates a pair of hooks secured to the upper edge of the front directly in line i with the ends of the tension-strap members 8- and :9 and adapted to hook over the forward portionof the carriage-top frame, as shown in Fig. -1, so thatwhen' the tension-strap is tightened by means of the take-up lever strain will be brought to bear on said hooks, the latter being thereby caused to firmly grip the parts of the carria etop frame with which they connect, the fastening device as a whole. thus serving to secure the top of the storm-front securely across the forward ad j of thevehicle top.
Secured to] the storm-front in the plane of the dashboard is an elastic-strap composed of two'st'rips .18ofifiexible'material, such as" oil-cloth or leather, stitched together at their opposite edges to form a flexible sleeve, in which isarranged an elastic. strap or band 19', the opposite ends of which are firmly secured to end pieces 20 of leather or other suitable material, riveted or otherwise secured, as shown at 21', tothe strap. 18.
The-ends-of the elastic strap. are perma-- nently secured to the storm-front by means of rivets 22 or other suitable fasteners, and such attached ends are protected by pieces 2310f" 'leather or other suitable material stitched. or. conveniently secured in any .manner to the storm-front, as shown in Fig.
being identical With the' construction above described.
I clairn A flexible storm front or: cover for-vehicles provided with a'tension-strap at itsupper edge comprising a flexible sleeve, keepers-secured to said sleeve, straps secured at their outer ends to said sleeve and extending under said keepers, theinner ends of said-straps being connected to a take-up device, said takeup device comprising a frame-piece secured to one end of one ofthe straps, a take-up lever having outwardly-extending pintles pivoted in eyes on said frame-piece and .connected to the other strap, and hooks secured to the top edge portion of the front or cover in line with the ends of the tension-strap to hook over the forward portion of the carriage-top frame, subta'ntiallyas described.
