AUGUST L. HANSEN, OF ST. MATTHEWS, KENTUCKY, ASSIGNOR TO A. L. HANSEN & BROTHER, A FIRM COMPOSED OF AUGUST L. HANSEN AND FRED HANSEN, F ST.
MATTHEWS, KENTUCKY.
AUTOMOBILE HOOD RACK.
In painting motor cars it is desirable to remove and paint the hoods thereof separately to avoid accidentally smearing other parts of the car; and it is the object of my invent-ion to provide a simple and inexpensive rack for supporting such hoods during the process of painting, so that when finished they can be readily returned to position on the cars and the objection referred to thus avoided, all as will hereinafter more fully appear.
In the accompanying drawing, forming part hereof, Figure 1 is a perspective of an automobile hood raclr embodying my inl5 vention, a hood positioned thereon for painting being shown in dotted lines; and Fig. 2 is a detail of part of my improvement.
In said drawing, the portions marked 5 indicate a standard or post, the lower end i0 of which may be supported by braces 6, 7, 8, and 9, or in any appropriate manner. At the upper end of said standard I provide a cross-member, 10, having hooks, 11, at its ends, and substantially midway of said standard Iadjustably secure eXtensible braces, 12, which are slotted, at 13, one overlapping the other, and are maintained in fixed position by a wing-nut, 14, or otherwise, so that said members may be extended 3U or retracted, for a purpose which will appear. Also, on said standard 5 I mount a supporting device comprising a slotted member, 15, and a cross-member, 16, said slotted member being held in position by a wingnut, 17, or otherwise, passing through the slot, 18, thereof, so that said member 15 may be adjusted. in angular or parallel relation to standard 5.
It will thus be seen that I provide an extremely simple rack structure for the purpose, and the same is employed in the following manner. The hood, 20, indicated 1n dotted lines and which may be of any conventional character, is hung lengthwise on cross-member 10 in such position that the upper Ventilating slots, 21, will be engaged by the hooks 11 and the hood sustained by said cross-member 10. It is desirable to suspend said hood in normal position, that is, with its side wings in approximately the relation to its top as they occupy when the hood is on the car. This I accomplish by the braces 12, which may be adjusted laterally in relation to standard 5 to any desired extent, so that the respective ends thereof will contact with said wings and prevent the same from swinging inwardly. As a further means for sustaining said hood the supporting device 15 is so adjusted as to bring the cross-member 16 thereof against the lower end of the hood so that the same will rest against said member, or by reason of the adjustability of the device 15 the same may be extended and positioned so that the lower edge of hood 2O may be supported thereon or upon its cross member 16, when desired` The hood is thus securely supported upon the rack in such manner that its outer top and sides or wings will be free from any obstruction or contacting part-s so that paint may be freely and smoothly applied thereto, and when sulficiently dried and in finished condition said hood may be readily lifted from the rack and transferred to the car.
My improved raclr, as will be apparent, occupies but limited space, and when not in use or prepared for shipment said rack can be disassembled or collapsed, as the pivotal supporting braces 12 and supporting device 15 may be adjusted in paralled relation to standard 5, while the base for the standard, comprising the braces 6, 7, 8, and 9, or equivalenL thereof, together with the upper cross-member, may be removed, so that the entire rack may be packed in knock-down condition to be again readily set up or assembled. IlVhile said raclr is illustrated as a wooden structure, I do not desire to be so limited, as it will be understood that all or parts thereof may be made of other material.
In practice I have demonstrated that my improved rack is of stable character for its purpose, and that in mounting a hood upon the cross-member 10 by means of the hooks 11, and positioning the same by cross-members 12, and sustaining its lower end by the supporting device 15, said rack with its load is evenly balanced without tendency of top pling under ordinary usage, and as the structure is comparatively light the same with or without its load may be readily transferred from place to place.
I claim as my invention:
1. An automobile hood rack comprising a standard, a supporting device mounted thereon, an eXtensible and retractable brace mounted upon said standard, and 'a crossmelnber vat the upper end of said standard for sustaining a hood.
2. An automobile hood rack comprising a standard, a cross-member thereon upon which an automobile hood may be supported during the painting thereof, and an adjust.- uble supporting` device mounted on said standard for sustaining the lower portion of l@ an automobile hood.
3. An automobile hood rack comprising a standard, an adjustable supporting device mounted thereon, extensible and retraotable brace members mounted upon said standard, a Cross-member at the upper end of said standard, and hooks on said crossvmember for engagingand sustaining a hood.
In testimony whereof affix my signature.
AUGUST L. HANSEN.
