Description

May 18 1926. A 'l F. M.l NASH OPERATING MEGHANISM FOR DIRIGIBLE HEADLIGHT CONSTRUCTION Filed sept. 1 v, 1925 Patented May 18, 1926.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
OPERATING MECHAN ISM FOR DIRIGIBLE-HEADLIGHT CONSTRUCTION.
Application filed September The present invention relates generally to dirigible headlights, and more particularly to improvements in the operating mecha nism therefor.
It is the-prime object of the invention to simplify and improve the operating mechanism shown in Letters Patent No. 1,537,- 488 issued to me on May 12, 1925.
The above obj ect is carried out by an exceedingly reliable construction, one which is inexpensive to manufacture, strong, durable, reliable and eicient in operation, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.
With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the inventionv resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawing- Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional elevation of the operating mechanism,
llig. 2 is a detail view showing a portion of the cable having a turn buckle,
Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the two light standards, and
Fig. 4 is a transverse section through one of the pulleys.
Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that 1 designates a steering post extending through the dash board 2 in any usual or suitable manner. A pulley 3 is clamped about the steering post l and includes two sections having flanges 4 on their ends and apertured ears 5 for receiving bolts 6. A frame F includes an intermediate tubular portion 7, a hood 8 at one end and a housing 9 at the other end. The hood 8 is rovided with a bracket extension 10 to the ash board 2 as at 11. Pulleys 12 are journaled adjacent the ends of the intermediate tubular portion 7 of the frame F.
The light standards are indicated respectively by numerals 13 and 14. The lower end of the standard 13 is journaled in the housing 9. A pulley 15 is clamped about the lower end of the standard 13 for rotation within the housing 9. This pulley 15 is identical in construction with the pulley 3. Rings 17 are mounted on the standards 13 and 14, and are fixed thereto by set screws 18. Lugs 19 rise from the rings for receiving the terminal eyes 2O of an adjustable 1, 1925. Serial No. 53,873.
rod 21 therein having the turn buckle adjustment 22.
This connecting .rod 21 operates the standard 14 in unison with the standard 13. A
tion 7 will alternately wind and unwind on the pulley 3 so as to alternately unwind and wind on the pulley 12, so that as the front wheels of the vehicle, not shown, are steered bythe steering post, the light standards 13 and 14 will be rotated to direct the rays of light from lamps not'shown) on the standards 13 and 14 in ront of the path of movement of the vehicle at all times. i
It is thought that the construction, operation, and advantages of this invention will be clearly understood without a more detailed description thereof.V It is, however, desired to point out that the device is capable of being readily and easily assembled and dis-assembled without interfering with the parts of the steering mechanism ,The various parts are capable of being manufactured comparatively cheap and will yet possess the desired degree etliciency, reliability, durability, and strength. It is preferable to provide a' clamp-like bracket member 27 extending from the frame F and receiving the post 1 in order that it may rotate therein. This member 27 braces the frame.
The present embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in detail merely by way of example since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description. It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed, or sacricing any of its ad vantages.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:
An operating mechanism for dirigible headlights comprising, in combination, a pulley formed in two parts and clamped about a steering post, a second pulley of similar construction clamped about a rotatable light bracket, a frame including an intermediate tubular portion, a hood at one end, and a casing at the other end, said casing receiving the second pulley andthe bottom end of the bracket, means for mounting the hood on a dash board, sheaves journaled in the frame, a cable partially wound about the pulleys and trained over said sheaves, a
.second light bracket, a pair of rings, one
fixed to each light bracket, lugs projecting from said rings, an adjustable connecting rod having a turn buckle therein and eye terminals for receiving the lugs.
In testimony whereof I alx my signature.
FRED M. NASH.
