and useful Improvement iniVVind-Shields for.Vehicles; and I'do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the I accomfpanying drawings and the numerals of re erence marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of, this specification, and represent,
Figure -1 a front or Ian view partially in section of a wind shie d construction in accordance with my invention. Fig? 2 a side view on a small scale of the same shown as Fig. 3 an en'- larged; side View .illustrating one of the hinges. Fig. 4 a sectional view showing the upper end of the upper stump, and illustrating means of clamping the upper end of the arm to theoupper sash. Fig. 5 a side view of the upper stump, detached: A This invention relates to an improvement in wind shields forvehicles, and particularly to wind shields for motor vehicles, whichv comprise two glazed frames, the upper frame hinged to the lower frame and the upper .frameadapted to be turned with relation to the lower frame.
In the usual construction of wind shields, the up er frame folds forward, but cannot be hel any position except a vertical or in a folded. posltion. When a shield stands in a vertical position, wind striking it is by the movement of the vehicle drawn down onto the ,driver. One of the objects of this invention is to so arrange the upper portion of the shield that it may be turned and locked in various positions of adjustment, whereby the currents of air are directed up, and hence over the heads of the passengers in the vehicle; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.
As common with wind shields, my im-' proved shield consists of alower sash 2 and anuppJer sash 3, the sashes having tubular meta indings 4 and 5, and the lower sash secured to the vehicle in the usual manner.
The hinges at the opposite sides of theshield consist of a stump 6 which is ada ted 'toen-'- ter'theup or ends of the metal tu cs4 forming the s1 es of the lower sash. These sides formed with shoulders 7 which restupon the.
upper edges of the tubes. These stumps 6 s are formed with projecting arms 8 and with hinge knuckles 9. Connected with the knuckle 9. is a-knuckle- 10.formed on the stump 11 which enters the tube 5 of the frame of the upper sash. This upper stump is formed with a long slot 12 and its inner face with a longitudinal chamber13.
Pivoted to the outer end of. the arm 8 is a link 14; which at the outer end carries 'a thumb 'screw 15 which extends through a clearance slot 16 in the tube 5 and through the slot 12in the stump into the chamber 13, where it is provided with a nut 17'and so that by turmng the screw the link 14 may be clamped to the upper frame. The length of the link 14 and the location of the slots is such that when the upper sash is in the vertical position the screw will stand at the upper end of the slot and so that by turning the screw when in this position the sash Ill be locked vertically. By reversing the screw the nut will be freed so that .it can move downward in the chamber 13 and so that the upper sash may be turned to any desired angle, and when adjusted it-may be held in that position by clamping the end of the arm a ainst the side of the frame. Not only may t 6 upper sash be turned and clamped at any deslred' angle, but may be turned down parallel with the lower sash. as shown in broken lines in Fig. 3. When turned down the end of the arm will stand in the same relative position to the upper sash-as when theupper sash is in the raised position and is locked in that foldedposition in the '5 V 9 same way as-in the open positlon. When the upper sash is locked in the folded position it will be positively held slightly away from the lower sash sothat no stops are required 'to prevent the two sashes from striking.- b0
Thus the upper sash may be turned u or down, or to any intermediate point an be positively locked in such positions.
I claim l. A wind 3 shield comprising an upper and alower s'ash hinges interposed between the sashes, said hinges comprising a lower stump formed with an outwardly projecting arm, an upper stump hinged to the lower stump, said upper stum slotted, a link piyoted to said arm and a apted to be clamped.

said arms and carrying clamping screws at their upper ends which extend through said slots, nuts in the chambers of the stumps with which the screws engage whereby the arms may be clamped to theupper frame, substantially as described. a
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscrib- COWLES TOLMAN. Witnesses:
