ELECTRIC. HEAD LIG HT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 653,982, dated July 17, 1900.
llpplicetion filed Ap 23. 1900- To all whmn it may concern/.--
Be it known that 1, JAMES W. G. BECKER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Kan sas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Headlights; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention.
My invention relates to headlight-s for electrically-propelled railway-cars, and has for its object improved, efficient, and inexpensive means whereby such headlights can be mounted upon the bumpers of such cars, in. front of the dashboards thereof, and whereby the conducting-wires will be protected from the elements.
The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts shown in the accompanying drawings,forming a part hereof, and
. which will be hereinafter fully described,and
pointed out in the claims at the end of this specification.
In the said drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portionof the dashboard and bumper of anelectrically-propelled railwaycar with my improved headlight mounted thereon. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical section through thecenter line of the headlight. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the stand detached from the headlight and bumper. Fig. i is a modification of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a modification of Fig. 3.
A represents the dashboard, and B the bumper, of the car.
0 represents the headlightcase, within" which is a parabolic reflector D having a flange a, by which it is secured to the case by screws 1). To the front of the case is hinged at c a glass-holder (1, containing the usual glass dish e and being held closed by a fastening consisting of the parts f, g, and h in a manner which will be understood without further. description. A verticallymovable socket holder E, having a central bore 1 is held by means of a set-screw j in a sleeve F, projectin g downwardly from the bottom of and preferably formed integral with the case. The upper end of this holder carries a lamp-socket G, having an incandescent lamp H secured therein and which by means of the said movenlarged at s to receive the same.
Serial No. 14,021. (No model.)
able socket-holder can be raised or lowered to bring the lamp to proper relation with the horizontal center line of the reflector, which is cut away at 76 to receive the lamp and its socket.
The case 0 is preferably made of cast metal and is mounted on a stand I, having a baseplate Z, provided with an open space m and uprights n, from which extend flanges 0, by which the case and stand are secured together through the medium of bolts or rivets The bumper is bored at q, and on the up- .per side thereof,within the open space m,there is secured a protector or guard J, having a central bore 1" and which extends up into the lower end of the sleeve F, the latter being Conducting-wires t to lead from underneath the car through the bores r and i to the lamp-socket and are thus protected from the elements. The stand I may have strengthening-webs o and be secured to the bumper by screws or bolts w.
In'Fig. 4 of the drawings I have shown the headlight case and stand cast in a single piece, with a vertical portion 00 serving the function of the sleeve F and protector J and having a central bore y extending from the bottom of the stand into the case, and it is obvious that such construction may be substituted for that shown in Figs 1, 2, and 3 and here- 'inbefore described. It is also obvious that .a headlight-case, a stand therefor adapted to be secured to the bumper, a hollow sleeve communicating with the interior of thecase and extending to the bottom of the stand, a
vertically-movable socket-holder within said sleeve, and means for securing said stand to said bumper, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination with the bumper of an electrically-propelled railway-car having a dashboard extending upwardly therefrom, of a headlight-case, a stand therefor adapted to be secured to the bumper, a hollow sleeve communicating with the interior of the case and extending to the bottom of the stand, a
vertically-movable hollow socket-holder with-V a hollow sleeve communicating with the interior of the case and extending downwardly from the bottom thereof, a vertically-movable socket holder within said sleeve, a lampsocket carried by said socket-holder, a protector or guard secured to the bumper and extending upwardly therefrom into said sleeve,
conducting-wires connected'with. saidsocket and extending through said socket-holder and said protector or guard to a source of electric supply, and means for securing said stand to said bumper, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe my name this 19th day of April, 1900,
JAMES W. G. BECKER.
