ATTACHMENT FOR AUTOMOBILES.
Specification of Letters Patent. `Patented Sept. 10, 1918.
Application led September 12, 1917. Serial No. 190,968.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I,- Lours H. ANDEnsoN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Carroll, in the county of Carroll and State of Iowa, have invented an Improvement in Attachments for Automobiles, of which the following is a specification.
MyA invention is an improvement in attachments for automobiles, and has for its object to provide mechanism in connection with the windows of automobile tops, for holding the transparent sheet firmly in place, and by means of which the transparent sheet may be easily attached to the frame or detached therefrom, and wherein the frame is rigid to prevent bending of the transparent sheet.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a front View of the attachment. Fig. 2 is a rear view.'
Figs. 3 and 4" are sections on the lines 3--3 and 4--4, respectively, of Fig. -1, each view looking in the direction of the arrows adjacent to the line. The present embodiment of the invention is shown in connection with the curtain 1 of an automobile top, the said curtain having an opening for receiving the transparent `sheet 2, which is held in place by means of a frame composed of wire and sheet metal.
The wire is bent to form a substantially rectangular frame 3 having an area slightly less than that of the transparent sheet 2 which is of celluloid or the like,.and thel 85 sheet metal portion of the frame is composed of two sides and two ends, four corner pieces being providedfor connecting the sides and ends. The strips 4 forming the Hsides and the ends are similarly bent, each having one 40 side edge bent over upon itself,`as'indicated at 5 to form a groove for receiving the adjacent edge of the transparent sheet 2, and the other side edge is bent around the wire frame 3, as indicated at 6, and thenI down upon the body 4 of the strip, as indicated at 7, to hold the wire frame in place. The material of the curtain lvis held between these bent over portions 6 and 7, being passed around the wire frame between the same and the body 4 of the strip, and between the 50 same and the portion 6-7 'of the stri Thus the frame and the transparent eet are firmly held in the opening of the curtain.
Each of the corner pieces comprises a body. portion 8 having `one side edge bent over 55 upon itself to engage between the portions 5 of the' adjacent side and end .strips and the transparent sheet, as indicated at 9, and the other side edge'is held between the bodies i of the strips and the material of the curtain', as shown. at 10 in Fig. 4:. Each of the-corner pieces is formed from an angular strip cut to shape, and thecorner pieces connect the sides and ends on the outer face of the curtain, the frame 3 being on the inner 65 side of the curtain.
Thus the transparent sheet is firmly held in place, while it may be easily removed, should this be necessary for any purpose, by removing the corner pieces and bending up the portions 5 of one side and one end strip.
With the improved holding` means for the transparent sheet it is not necessary to make slits or holes in the curtain, from which tears will start. 1 75 I claim: In combination Awith a curtain having an opening for a transparent sheet, of means for connecting the sheet to the curtain, said means comprising side and end strips, and a 80 substantially rectangular wire frame of less size than the sheet, said frame being on the inner side of the curtain, and the curtain at the edges of the opening being bent around v over the frame, said side and end strips each comprising a body portion lying between the 'sheet and the frame and curtain and having one side edge bent over upon the sheet and the other side edge bent around the frame over the curtain edge, one free-edge of each of said bent over portions holding the curtain and the edge of the same at the opening against the bo'dv of the strip.
