yFormater `Hoon ron cheminee Bonnes v Application ined nprn 23, 1927, serial No. 186,134, and in switzerland April as, 15926.
The invention relates to the superstructure of =`a-motor propelled vehicle/and more especially to the construction of a sheet van body with al waterproof cover.
The main object of the invention is to provide a simple and eflicient construction of the hoops supporting the waterproof sheet. A further object of the invention consists in the provision ofimproved means to guide the hoops along the supporting rails in such a manner that the hoops are running smoothly in their guides with little friction and with no play.
I attain these and other objects of my invention by the means disclosed in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a side view of a motor propelled vehicle fitted with the improved folding hood.
Fig. 2 is a top view of the same, Fig. 3 is a side elevationv of the end part I of a top rib,
,slidably mounted in said frame.
on each side wall r of the body. The rail cl with the pillars Z). form part of a frame for the drop windows (Z, which windows are longitudinal rail 0 a top guiderail cof U- shaped cross section is placed. The upper ends f of the vertical members of said rail e are bent inwardly. Carriages It, each `fitted with two rollers g are mounted to run freely in the channel formed in the top guide rails e. All the carriages h, running on the same rail c, are interconnected by an endless rope lc, which passes over two guide rollers z', rotatably mounted on a side wall e nearA the front and rear ends thereof. A chain may be used instead of the rope. Each carriage Z1. is rotatably mounted in the downwardly projecting end of a hoop Z. For this purpose each carriage li is provided with a bolt m, which is screwed into a sleeve n. The sleeve n engages a bore of the end portion of a hoop Z. The carriages ZL therefor are arranged to run freely on the rails e and no jamming of the same will occur, when the On each carriages Z1. are moved. .The waterproof sheet 0 issupported on the hoops. Z and `is spread or folded according to fthe direction in which the carriages `Zu and, therewith, the hoops Z, are moved. Tho bolt m facilitates the fitting of the charriages it to the hoops Z.
Bv screwing the bolt m more or less into the sleeve the distance of the hoops Z from the 'topl guide rails e may be varied. Therefore the roof can be moved with little friction and at the saine time the hoops Z remain in firm connection with the rails e. Each hoop Z rests on spring p placed around the bolts m, which springs p absorb the shocks and prevent the rattling when the car is running over rough roads. Two rollers r, which are mounted on a bolt f of the rails e. T e bolt g is slidably arranged in a vertical slot s of the carriage Z1,
and rests on two blade springs Z', fitted on the bolts u of the rollers g. The rollers r, which are pressed against the edges f of the rails c by the springs t, assures a quiet, noiseless running of the carriage Z1. on the rails e.
The hoops Z can be moved on the rails c to the rear part of the car together with the folded cover 0 and the carriages Zz. run into the downwardly projecting portion e of the railse. The hoops Z are moved either by the rope or chain drives lc, by means of a crank; or by hand. Each hoop stick Z comprises two hollow rods of elliptical cross section. Into the two rods projects a bar o. The bar o is riveted to the one hollow rod and is' slidable in the other rod. To the bar v vtwo flat springs w are fixed which effect a sliding but tight fit of the rail ein the hollow rod. The use of such adjustable top ribs'Z is suitable, especially for carriage bodies, of Y on said bolt, said hoops having boresin their v ends in which said sleeves are mounted and a rail to form a race for saldcarriage.'
press against'the edges Q. A folding hood for carriage-bodies comprising in combination a cover sheet, hoops supporting said sheet, carriages on said hoops, each carriage being provided with a bolt and a sleeve screwed on said bolt, said hoops having bores in which said sleeve is mounted, springs between said carriages and the ends of said hoops and a rail to guide said carriages.
3. A folding hood for carriage-bodies comprising in combination a cover sheet, hoops supporting said sheet, carriages on said hoops, each carriage being provided with a bolt connecting said carriage to one of said hoops and :L spring,r on said bolt and between the carriage and the end of the hoop to which said carriage is connected and a channel rail to guide said carriages, said carriages having elastically mounted guide rollers operating in the channel of 20 said ruil.
In wltness whereof I alix my signature.
XAVIER SEITZ.
