DESIGN FOR SIDE WINDOWS OF COACHES, &c.

Specification forming part of Design No. 8,998, dated February 15,1876; application filed November 19, 1875.

[Term of Patent 7 years] To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN C. GOOLD, of the city and county of Albany, State of New York, haveoriginated and designed a new form of Side Window for Coaches and similar Vehicles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying photographic illustrations, making a part of this specification, in which- Illustration 1 represents a coach with sub stantially the old form of side windows, whether open or closed. Illustration 2 represents a coach with the new design of side window when opened.

The nature of my design will be fully understood by a contrast of the accompanying photographic illust "ations, each with the other, in the appearance of their side windows, as shown.

A represents the body of the coach, which is made with any desired form of outline, fashion, or style which fancy or taste may suggest. B is the usual door. a is the crestpanel of the door. 0 is the back-quarter panel. I) is the front-quarter panel. B, Illustration 1, is the usual door-window. F is the usual back-quarter window. G is the usual front-quarter window.

In this invention the means for changing the appearance of the side windows as they appear in Illustration 1 to that shown in lllustration 2 is not herein claimed by me in this patent, as the means employed are functional in their nature, and are properly subject-matter for a mechanical patent. I will therefore, at this time, describe only those features that are associated to produce the appearance of the design, as shown in Illustration 2.

In this design the doonwindow E is made to appear to be extended past the usual doorposts 0, and continued back from the rear side of said window into the back-quarter panel 0 in an undivided manner, that the usual frame-post of the door B and front post of the back quarter, as is shown in Illustration 1, are not made to appear to separate or divide the usual back-quarter window from the usual window in the door, but produce an appearance of one eontinuously-extended window, occupying a portion of both the saiddoor and back-panel quarter.

In this design the said door-window is also made to appear to be extended forward and past the usual front-door posts 0 into the front-quarter panel in an undivided manner, that the usual appearance of separation of the door-window from the front-quarter window, as found in Illustration 1, is avoided, and an appearance is made of an unbroken or undivided opening, formed by a continuation of the usual door opening or window into the front quarter of the coach, as shown in Illus tration 2. I

When the usual openings or windows E, F, and Gr are made continuous from the front quarter D through the upper section of the door 13, and past the same, into the back quarter 0, so as to appear as one undivided window or opening from 00 to 2, as in Illustration 2-, the upper portion of the coach, which usually appears to be heavy, is made to appear to be light and open from the interior to the air outside.

Though this design is shown to exist in a coach, yet I would not confine myself to that class of vehicles only, as it is well adapted in its features to be applied to vehicles of the clarence, coupe, coachee, or rockaway style, with the same favorable and pleasing appearance of lightness and extensive opening to the interior.

Having described the nature of my design, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a coach or other similar class of vehicle employing a door and a back-quarter panel, the extension or continuation of the window or opening in the door back and into the said back-quarter panel without an appearance of division or separation, substantially in the manner above described.

2. In a coach or other similar class of vehicles employing a door and frontquarter panel, the extension or continuation of the window or opening in the door forward and into said front-quarter panel without an appearance of division or separation, substantially in the manner above described.

3. In a coach or similar vehicle, a single opening or window, comprising the usual door opening or window, front-quarter opening or window, and back-quarter opening or window, with an absence of all appearance of divisions or separations, as above described.

JOHN G. GOOLD.
