27: Claims. (oi. gee-334) This invention relates to means for supporting shields on passenger-carrying bodies, such as thebodies of automobilesjand more particularly tomeans'adapted for use in supporting a shield, such as a wing ShieldQadjacent' a'window in a door pivoted at its forward edge."
"In order to provide suitable protection ata window, 'a wing shield must" have its inner edge close to the forward edge of the window openmg: Also the wing shield must'be so supported that it will not interfere with the movement of the door. Such'interference may be avoided by supporting the wing shields in s'uch manner' as to swing with the doors with which they are associated.
Heretofore it has been proposed to attach the wing shields to the doors'by screws entering the doorsat their outer surfaces. This would, however, mar the surfaces of the doors and, if for any reason the wing "shields were removed, the doors would present a marred appearance. Also, other difficulties might arise.
An important object of this invention is to provide simple and efficient means for supporting a shield, such as an air deflector on an automobile body, to swing with a door and attachable to the car without marring the door or other parts of the body or without deformation of the exterior door structure, the shield supporting means being disposed spaced outwardly and 'forwardly of the opening of the window, the front edge of the shield being substantially in register with the front post of the door, or disposed spaced forwardly of the front edge of the glass window, thereby to leave the'glass window unobstructed for clearvision, and to enable the glass of the window to be completely accessible for cleaning on its'outer face.
' Accordingto some'forms of carrying out the invention, the shields may be attached to the door hinges so as to swing withthe partsof the hingesse'cured directly to the doors. This may be done by providing attaching devices with openings to receive pintles or pins forming parts of the hinges and having means to secure the attaching devices in fixed relation to the hinge leaves which are attached to the doors, According to other forms of the" invention, the wing shields may be attached, without use of such pins or pintles,vto the usual hinge leaves secured to the edges of the doors and in still other cases the usual hinge leaves attachedto the doors may be replacedby special forms especially adapted for the purpose. The invention also contemplates the use of attaching devices'which may hinges. Other features and advantages wlll appear upon considerationof the following description be secured to the edges of the doors adjacent the and the drawings in which:

";Referring to the drawings i5 designates a shield, hereshown as a wing'shield in the form of a glass plate having at its upper and loweredg'es notches 16'into which project parts of clamping members or'brack'ets "1'1 and"18, respectively. These brackets 17 and 18 are also groovedto receive adjacent portions of the wing-shield and are pressed together by means including an elongated rod19, here shown as hexagonal in cross section and having its lower end reduced and threaded tightly'into a bore 20in bracket 18 and'it's reduced upperend passing through the bracket 1'1 and threaded into a nut 21 bywhich the desired pressure of the brackets l'land 18jontheshield may be producedbr "varied. "Preferably the grooves :of thebrackets 17 and18are lined with cushioning material such as felt or rubber as indicated in Fig.4? To provide what is substantially an extension of the hexagonal rod-191b'elow the bracket 18,a' short rod '22 of substantially the same cross section as rod'19 may besecured in alignment therewith by screwing the reduced andthr'eaded upper end ofthe 'short rod 22 into the lower end of thelb'ore L The shieldand attachments 'just described are particularly adapted for support on hinges 23 by which a door 24 is attached to a body 25 of a closed car. Usually there are three hinges for each door and the upper hinge and middle hinge are arranged as shown in Fig. 1, the upper hinge being slightly below the upper edge of window 26 in the door and the middle hinge being somewhat lower than the lower edge of the window opening. Obviously, the upper edge of the shield should extend slightly above the upper edge of the window and the lower edge of the shield should extend slightly below the lower edge of the window. If the shield were made of sufficient length to extend below the middle hinge, the rod 19 would be of sufficient length to be engaged by clamps projecting from the upper hinge and the middle hinge. It is desirable, however, both for appearance and economy of material, that the shield be just of sufficient height, from its lower to its upper edge to afford proper protection at the window. One way of meeting the requirement for clamping at points farther apart thanthe length of the shield consists in providing said extension 22 of the rod 19.
The connection between the shield 15 and the hinges 23 may include means such as clamps 2'7, each of which includes a clamping memberv 28 and a clamping member 29, the latter being formed with a device or socket portion 30 for attachment with a hinge 23. As shown in Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 6, each device 30 is formed to fit over a hinge member 31 attached to the door. The hinges shown are of a form in general use and each hinge comprises in addition to a door leaf 31, a leaf 32 for attachment to the body 25, .the leaf 32- having at its outer end spaced ears 33 with aligned bores and the leaf 31 being formed at its outer end with a lug 34 fitting between the ears of the leaf 32 and perforated to received a pin passed through the aligned bore in said ears. The leaf 31 is also provided with a portion 35 extended or curved around the outer end of the leaf 32. The attaching device 30 is formed with an inner surface corresponding to the outer surface of the outer end of the leaf 31 and with upper and lower flanges 36 which overlie the upper and lower edges of the hinge and are perforated to receive a hinge pin 37 which may be of greater length than those in ordinary use with such hinge leaves; As indicated in Fig. 5, the clamping effect of the members 28 and 29 may be obtained by a threaded pin secured in the clamp member 29 and projecting through the clamp member 28 to provide a portion on which is mounted a nut 39, conveniently in the form of a wing nut. I
The hinge pins 3'? furnish a strong connection between the devices 30 and the hinges 23 but this connection may not be sufiicient to prevent relative movement between the device 30 and the adjacent hinge leaf about the axis of the hinge pin 37. Prevention of such relative movement may be effected as follows: Set screws 40 may be inserted in threaded openings 41 in the upper and lower flanges 36 and forced into close engagement with the upper and lower edges of the hinge leaf 31. Under some conditions it might be suflicient to use only one screw 40. The same general effect may be obtained by screws 42 and 43 threaded through the device 30 to engage the leaf 31 close to the frame of the door and also at the extended portion 35.
It is of great importance to be able to apply such a shield to a car for demonstration purposes without marring the finish of the car in such a manner as to be conspicuous when the shield is removed. In using the devices just described the only parts likely to be marred are the hinges and to avoid such marring the parts or devices 30 may be constructed so that, when positioned to receive the hinge pins 37, there is a space between each part 30 and hinge leaf 31 to permit the insertion of a thin sheet of suitable material such as felt or rubber to be engaged by the set screws 42 and 43 and pressed against the leaf 31. Similarly, suitable protecting material may be inserted between the set screws 40 and the upper and lower edges of the leaf 31.
According to the form of the invention just described, all that is necessary in order to apply a wing shield to a car is to apply devices 30 to the upper and middle hinges at one side of a car and then attach the wing shield by inserting the hexagonal rod 19 of a wing shield into the upper clamp 27 and the extension 22 into the lower clamp and by tightening the wing nuts 39 after adjusting the shield at the desired elevation.
According to the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Fig. '7, use may be made of a hinge leaf 45 for attachment to the hinge edge of a door and having a clamp member 29a integral therewith. These hinge leaves 45 may be parts of the hinges furnished with the car or may be substituted for the door leaves of the hinges supplied with the car. The rest of the clamp may include an outer clamp member 28, a threaded pin 38 passing through the clamp member and secured in said clamp member 29a, and a wing nut threaded on the outer end of said pin 38.
According to a third form of the inventio illlustrated in Fig. 8, the attachment consists of a clamp member 28 which may be pressed by a wing nut on a pin 38, against a clamp member 29b formed with a part to fit around the curved outer end of a leaf 31 and having flanges 36a above and below the upper and lower edges, respectively, of the hinge leaf 31 adjacent the door 24. The clamp member 29b may be secured to the leaf 31 by one or more screws 46 passing through an inward extension of theclamp member 29b and threaded into the hinge leaf 31, or by means including a screw 40a passing through a flange 36a, or by both.
According to the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Fig. 9 a plate 47 is permanently attached to the hinged edge of a door 24 by screws 48 at any point adjacent a hinge, the plate 47 being here shown as beneath the hinge leaf, and the clamp includes a clamp member 290 adapted to be secured to plate 47 by suitable means such as screws 49.
According to a fifth embodiment of the invention illustrated in Fig. 10, use is made of a hinge leaf 31b attached to a door and provided with an integral extension 50 to which may be secured by screws 51 a clamp member 29d forming part of a clamp which may otherwise be of any suitable form.
As illustrated in Figure 11, a hinge attachment of the general form shown in Figures 1 to 6, inclusive, may be held in place by a hinge pin 37 of the length ordinarily used with the hinge leaves in connection with a member or stud 55 threaded through the lower flange of the attachment to enter the lower end of the hinge bore left vacant due to the raised position of the hinge pin. The member or stud 55 may be held in adjusted position by means of a lock nut 56.
