6 Claims.
This invention relates to doors for automobiles and process of making same and has for its` object toprovide a new and improved device and process of this description. The invention has as a further object to provide a door for automobiles which shall have a space below the window arranged so that an arm rest may be easily and quickly attached thereto after the door has been manufactured, so that the automobile can be sold without the extra charge of the arm rest, but anyone who wants an arm rest afterwards can buy it and put it on. The invention has as a further object to provide a cheap and effective process for manufacturing automobile doors. The invention vhas other objects which are more particularly pointed out in the accompanying description.

Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several figures.
Referring now to the drawings, I have shown an automobile I provided with a door embodying this invention. In this construction the. automobile is provided with the front doors 2 and the rear doors 3. 'Ihe front doors are provided with the front pivoted deflector section Il and '1515 the rear pivoted deflector section 5. The front deflector section is pivoted at 6 and 'l in the window opening, and the rear deflector section is pivoted at 8 and 9. The door below the window is hollowed out so as toform lthe space I0. The 1:5 door is formed out of two stamped metal sections, the outside section II and the inside section I2. The outside section is cut away at the top to form the window opening I3 and the metal around the window opening is forced inwardly go to form the ledge I4. 'Ihe section I2 is also cut away to form the window opening I3 and the metal isbent to form the outwardly projecting ledge I5 for the upper part of the window opening. The portion of the inner section I2 below g5 the window opening is bent inwardly to the position shown in Figs. 3 and 5, and just below the window it has the outwardly bent portion i6, see Fig. 12. At the sides the inner section I2 has the inwardly bent flanges I'l and I8 and at the g@ bottom the inwardly bent flange I9, so as to form the outer frame of the door. The two sections when formed are pressed together, there being between them a section 2i! of non-metallic material, see Fig. 1'7. When the two sections 35 II and I2 are pressed together the parts above and `below the window opening are as illustrated in Fig. 15. y The upper edge 2i of the section vI I is bent around the upstanding edge 22 of the ledge I5 of the section` I 2, as shown in Fig. 12. 40 The projecting portion 23 of the ledge I5, shown unbent inFig. v15, is rbent around over the portion 24 of the ledge I lof the section II, as shown in Fig. 12. Y
Below the window opening the outer section 1 5 II has the inwardly bent portion 25 with the upstanding portion 26, and the portion I6 of the sectionI I2 has the upstanding portion 21, and this upstanding portion 2l is brought to the position shown in the lower part of Fig. l5. This 50 upstanding part 21 is then bent varound the upstanding part 26, as shown in the middle portion of Fig. 12.
Referring to the rear portion of the window opening, sections of which are shown in Figs. 13 55 and 16, the outer section II is bent inwardly at 28 and has the angular portion 29. The inner section I2 has the projecting edges 30 and 3I, while the outer portion has a projecting edge 32. When the parts are brought together they are in the position shown in Fig. 16. The part 36 is then bent over the part 29 and the part 32 over the part 3|, as shown in Fig. 13. At the rear edge of the door below the window opening the inner section I2 has the outwardly V-shaped portion forming the flange I1 with the laterally bent portion 34, and the outer section II has the projection 35 which is bent over the flange 34, as shown in Fig. 14. At the bottom the inner section II is bent to form the flange I9. This flange has a laterally bent portion 36, see
the bottom of Fig. 12, and the outer section II v has the portion 31 which isbent ,therearound It will be seen that this forms a strong durable door with the proper outstanding flanges I1, I 8 and I9 about it. It will further be seen that this door is made out of two stamped pieces with the edges properly bent and clamped together to form a secure, strong and durable structure.
The inner sectiony I2 may be arranged so that an arm rest can be easily attached thereto. When the door is made up and the auto-mobile assembled the inner section I2 is covered with cloth or suitable upholstery. This inner section l2 is provided at suitable distances apart with theopenings 38, see Figs. 6 to 10. These openings have contracted portions at their lower ends, as shown at 39. The openings are normally covered by the cloth or upholstering material 4I), see Fig. l1. The arm rest 4I is provided with the fastening devices 42 which have enlarged headsand a contracted neck 43. Back of these openings the non-metallic section 20 is cut away to form the openings 44, see Fig. 7. When it is desired to attach the arm rest 4 I, it is only necessary tolocate these holes with the ngers and then either cut away the upholstering material 49 at these points, or simply place the fastening devices 42 into the upper enlarged ends 38 of the openings and then move the arm rest downwardly until the contracted necks 43 enter the contracted portions 39 of the openings, as shown in Fig. 8. It will therefore be seen that the arm rest can be easily and quickly inserted in position as an accessory after. the automobile is manufactured, and this may be either at the time of sale or at any other later time.
It will be seen that I have here a door made up of two metallic sections with the edges of the sections bent to form the frame of the door, the two sections being connected together by bending the metal of one section around portions of the other sections.
It will further be seen, that in this door the metal of the two sections forms the window reveal. i
It will further be seen that I have here a door with a wall having concealedmeans for attaching an arm rest thereto.
I have described in detail a particular construction, but it is of course-,evident that the parts may be varied in many particulars without departing from the spirit of the invention as embodied in the claims hereto appended, and I therefore do not limit myself to the particular construction shown. f
I claim:
1. A door for automobiles comprising an outer wall, a window in said wall, said outer wall made of two sections, each having a window opening therein, the part of the inner section below the window being outside of the vertical plane through the Window, a part of said section at the window being bent inwardly and extending across under the window to the other side thereof, the sections being placed. together and attached one tothe other to form the door structure.
