STORM-FRONT FOR BUGGIES.
i Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 21, 1907.
Application filed October l5, 1906. Serial No. 339.043.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it'lmown that I, Moss WHITE BEAnDs- LEY, acitizen of the United States ofAmerica,
*and a resident of Fremont, county of Sandusky, State of Ohio, have invented certainl new and useful Improvements in Storm- Fronts for Buggies, of which the following is a full and clear specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in whichy Figure 1 is a perspective view of a buggy body and top provided with my improved storm-hood or front showing the hood in position for use g Fig. 2 a perspective view of the frame of the front; Fig. 3 a vertical sectional view showing the hood in the same position as it appears in Fig. l; and
The object of this invention is to provide a storm hood attachment for buggies which shall be simple and durable and which shall be adapted to fold back into the buggy automatically when released from the dash and without rolling or folding the fabric of which the storm hood is constructed, as more fully hereinafter set forth.
Referring to the drawings by letters, a designates a spring roller of the well-known spring shade roller type which is journaled in bearings at the rear of the buggy top near its upper end, and b two or more webbings or bands adapted to wind upon the roller when the roller is free to turn. The bands extend forwardly and are attached at their ends to the top cross-bar c of the storm-hood frame, this frame consisting of a pair ofapproximately triangular open frames d shaped to the opening between the front edges of the buggy top and the buggy body. The'se two frames d are connected by the above mentioned cross bar c and also a lower cross bar e. This frame is covered by suitable waterproof fabric, so that when it is pulled down to the .position shown in Fig. l it will practically cover the open front of the buggy.
The cross bar e is provided with one or more clasps f for engagement with the upper edge of the dashboard, these clasps being adapted to detachably engage the top edge of -the dash-board and thereby prevent the spring return mechanism from prematurely raising the hood. When it is desired to turn the hood back out of the way the occupant of the buggy simply removes the clasps from the p dashboard and the springs draw the frame upwardly and inwardly. A pair of rods g are arranged in front of the front face of the hood and parallel to it and these rods work through eyes 7L depending from the front bow ofthe buggy top. These eyes and rods form guides on which the rods are slid back and forth. A stop 'i projects inwardly from the lower part of the frame so as to prevent the Yframe being depressed too far this stop being located so that it strikes against the top edge of the dashboard, and to provide line openings the lower bar e is provided with upward extending loops or bends y'.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l.' In combination with a buggy, of a storm front adapted to telescope or slide back into the top without folding or rolling, means for locking the storm front down to the dashboard, means for automatically retracting the storm-front when released from the dashboard, said means consisting of a pair of webbings attached to the upper end ofthe stormfront and a spring actuated roller mounted in the rear upper part of the buggy top.
2. In combination with a buggy provided with guide eyes depending from its top, a storm-hood or front having curved rods mounted in front of it, which rods work through said eyes, the storm-hood or front being suspended from said eyes, and spring means for returning the storm-hood up and back into the buggy top.
3. In combination with a buggy provided i with guide eyes depending from its top, of a storm-hood having curved rods in front of it, which guide rods work through said depending eyes and suspend the storm-hood therefrom, whereby said storm-hood may be swung back into the buggy-top.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses this 12th day of October, 1906.
