My liilventiori' was im'p v n v o v protect from reflections of. g o l ing; he d ghtsrand M i glare shield The object of tolprovide my inventionis I adevice, of the character'deSCribed'which will be: durable, strong, cheap, easily attached and detached,;,easilyplacedout of. focus when not desiredto beused; for protection; which will: b ove dof' gr t and, easily, manufactured,
and, which f will adequately protectthefdriver of carsfrom the glaringlights of, approaching vehicles.
o Other objects and the novel features of the invention will further appear fromthe specification, appended claims, and illustrated in the accompanying one sheet drawing, of;
which, a v e l Figure l is a perspective view of the difo hferentparts of the device; Figure 2is a'frag- 05 mentary plan view showing; the adj nsting deviceand means of foldingand-securely hold- 'ing when not in use; Fignre3 is a perspec- :tive view showing the device attached to a car; Figure t is a fragmentary plan view 7 showing the application of a plurality of folds :to. the devlce.
' Likecharacters of reference designate like parts-inallthefigures TheQgeneral use attained by the automoused onthem makezthe necessity of some kind of. a proper protection imperative. Many devices have been attemptedinvarious forms for, use onltheplights of the automobile. -But 5 sufliciently'intogeneraluseto] givefany thing like anjadequate protection for night users 'of cars and the danger of life, limbandprop erty. keeps growing greater with the steadily lncreasingnumber of cars putiin use. I v t Ihave'concluded that some means which -would give the-person driving" protection againstthe dangers from blindingcaused by approaching cars would be the surest protect1on., e I p t It will-be apparent to: thosefamiliar with the art to which myinventiOn pertains that I rays of light can be elfectually dissipated. or broken up 'byfihe meshed-screen. offwire or other suitable material My invention lies V will cause an utility,- cheaply o folds as shown :today, and the bright and glaring lights I p I the end of rod'13 with noneseemto have beeninvented, or become and the placing in providing. f such screen of the first. fold of the fine meshed. screen "wire on an angle v,ofapproximately with.
relation to the'windshield in. front .of the. driver, and; of ofna second,oor a plurality of additional. folds,.at an angle of approximatelybO". This additional breaking up of the light rays coming from approaching car lights, andv the eye of the driver. looking,
through such a screen will be vfully protected and the danger to'life, limb,
from the glare, and property will be prevented. V
The device is composedof a frame, the top portion of the first fold of which is designated at 1, the outer end of the first foldand the beginning of thesecond foldwhere the second fold isdoubled back partially upon the first fold: is shown at2, the outer end of the frame and of thesecond fold is shownat 3, 4, and the inner end of the frame of fold 1 is shown at 7;, a finevmeshed wire screen covers fold 1 as shown at 3 and also fold 2 as shown at 1%;. theremay, if desired, be a plurality of at 44, 45, in Fig. 4; the frame is attached tofa vertical arm 16 by means of eyes 5 and 6 on the upper and lower parts of the'frame of fold 1; near the inner end frame 7 are two perforations, 8, 9, through which'are secured ends of rope or cable 21 and 23. In the lower edge and near the center of fold l'is an outstanding eyelet 1O adapted to connect and fit a similar eyelet 12 on I grooves and corrugations 14,,and on its outer end an eyelet 15, adapted to fit over outstanding hook" member 11 near outer ends of fold 1, and to keep it in inoperative position when the device is not in use. In operative position one of the grooves 14, as desired, is placed over the top edge of'th'e windshield-4:2 holding the device in "an outstanding operative position with relation to saidwindshield and the line of vision of the driver as shown in Fig. 2.v The device works slidably with eyelets 5 and 6 onsvertical rod 16, at the endsof said rod are bent in portions 17 and 18 and held in place on the front of the car by holding members 19, 20.. The device is operated upwardly and downwardly on saidrod'by'cables or the a; folding or bendingback there- K like, 21, 22, 23, on that sheaves 24, 25,26.
The lower sheave 24 is attached to the car by bracket 27 through holes 29 and'by'up-ji i l. A device of the character described,
standing shoulders 28 and pinion pin 28. The upper one 26 is attached to the upper part of the front of the car 41 by bracket 30 through holes 31 and by upstanding lugs 32 and pinion pin 32 and preferably under sunshade il The middle one 25 is attachedto the inside front of the car by bracket 33 by holding means (not shown) and pinion pin 34 and out oftheway-of the steering wheel-i3.
The middle sheavealso has on its outside face and near its periphery a handle 35, the turning of which causes the cables 21,22, 23, to turn on the sheaves andto raise the device upwardly or downwardly on the rod 16 in adjustable position with relation to the vision ofthe driver, or out of the line of such vision to be held until needed again.
In front of the windshield 42 and on the outside of the car is a bracket'36 fastened to the car by'holding members (not shown) through perforations 3? at the center of the bracket 36 is an upstanding lug having two upstanding divisions 38, 39, with a 'V-shaped cut 40 between them.
The device can be raised from an inoperative position where it isheld inplace on carrying bracket 36 in groove 40, with rod 13 resting below and in front of windshield 42 and parallel thereto with its outer eyelet l5 snugly fitting on hook 11 as shown by dottedv lines in Fig. 2, to an operative position in line with the vision-of the operator of the automobile as'shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and if a plurality of folds are used then as shown in Fig. 4, by the turningof handle 35 and raising of cables 21 and 23 and rolling cable 22 around sheave 25 and passing cable 23 through sheave 26, and cable 21 through sheave 24E. The device may be lowered by turningthe handle 35 reversely and reversing the direction of the-movement of the cables. H I
