UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFICE.
LIGHT-DEFLECTOB.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 5, 1921.
Application filed August 31, 1920. Serial No. 407,078.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WILLIAM ELLswon'rn and ROBERT E. MACKELLAR, citizens of the United States, residing at Ashland, in the county of Ashland and tate of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Light-Deflectors, of which the following is a specification.
The object of our invention is to provlde an improved and eflicient light deflector for lamps used on automobiles which may be attached directly to the reflector of lamps now in use and which is of relatively simple constructlon, without the numerous parts which are required by many deflectors and which necessarily increase the expense of their manufacture and add to the difliculty of installation. we attain these and other objects of our invention by the mechanism disclosed in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the invention In use;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of same; and
Fig. 3 is a longltudinal vertical section on line 33 of Fig. 1.
Like numerals designate like parts in each of the several views.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates the conventional lamp casin and 2 the conventional lamp reflector. e provide a suitable lamp 3 and a suitable dimmer lamp 7, both arranged and wired in the conventional manner. Attached directl to reflector 2 by means of hinge 5 is our eflector 4 which normally projects over the lampvas shown in full lines in Fig. 3 and also in ig. 1. Said deflector is cupped to normally cover the major portion of the lamp bulb and throw the light rays downwardly. We provide a suitable expansion spring 6 having one end attached to the lower end of hinge 5 and having the other end attached to the opposite end of said hinge, which in turn is attached to the shank of the deflector 4, as shown in Figs 2 and 3. It is within the contemplation of our invention to attach the spring to the hinge in any suitable manner and to suitably adjust the tension of the hinge to hold the deflector at whatever angle is desired, relative to the main lamp bulb 3, as indicated in Fig. 3. Any suitable conventional fastening means, such as screws, may be used to fasten the sections of the hinge to the reflector and to the light deflector, respectively.
What we claim is:
A light deflector adapted to be attached directly to the reflector of an automobile lamp, comprising a deflector shaped to screen the upper portion of the lamp, a hinge connecting the shank of the deflector with the adjacent portion of the reflector of the lamp above the lamp bulb, and spring means attached to the ends of the aforesaid hinge and holding the deflector at the desired predetermined angle relative to the lamp bulb for which the tension of the spring may be adjusted.
WILLIAM ELLSWORTH. ROBERT E. MACKELLAR.
