Patente'd Oct. 19, 1926. 11603,@632 UNITED ST,ATES. PATENT OFFICE. JAMES I-IAROLD CURRIE MURDOCH, OE HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, CANAD.A. AUTOMOBILE HEADLIGHT CONTROL. Application filed March 16, 1926. Serial No. 95,074. This invention relates to improveinents in alitoinobile he,,tdlio;hts and the objects of the invention are to provide a headlight for inotor vehicles generally, operable sin-iultaneously with the turning of tl-ic steering ii,heel tnd separately tiltable from the iiistrun-ioiit board to any required angle. Further objects are to provide ,t turnable and tiltableheadliglit for automobi-les and 10 the like of this description, the meel-ianism for operatii-ig whicli is a simple, d-Lirable and ecoiioinical construction @ind @vhich can be readily fitted to all existing niakes of cars without interferino- in any way with the 15 existing constructi@ on. A furtl-iei- object is to provide a meeliai-iism for automobile headlights for simultaneotisly t-Lirning the heacllights iii the, dii-ection in ivhich the vel-iiele is travelling and 20 meads operable from the instriimei-it board for settinu tl-ie headlights at -@ny req-Liired angl.e AVI-ii7e bein turiied. A still further object is to provide dirigible and tiltable headli,();hts tdaptecl to be 25 ti-irned to correspond to the luovement of the front wheels of the vehicle so that the rays froin the headlight are properly positioned with relati.on to the inoveinent of the vehicle and also to provide means for tilting. 01( Another object is to provide a dirigible 1-ieadlight having simple i-neans operable froiii the driver's seat Nvhereby the same inay be tilted on being moved about a hori.zontal axis so that the light rays inay be directed i ,5 at ,tny suitable anule to illuminate each side of the road and whereby the glare is removed iyitholit dimming the 1-ie.,tdlichts S'L-ill @tnotlier object is to provide q headlio'l-it of highly simplified construction re40 liable in use aiid economical to iu,,tnuf acture. Otlier advantages of the invention will be appareiit dur,@ng the course of the, following clescription. The ii-tvention consists essentially in the 45 combinatioii ivith tiltably n-iounted headliglits provided ivith rotitably mounted supports, of means codnectiiig the supports with the s@Ll,eeri.ng iiiechaiiism and means operL,blc-, from the instruiiient board for tiltino, the 50 lioadliglits and settiiig then-i, wl-ien tilted, to any reqliired angle. Referring nonv to the drtwings in whicb like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts r35 Figure 1 is a side elevaticva of the forward portion of In automobile fraroe fitt(?,(l ivith my in-iproved headlights, Figu re 2 is a top Plan view, Figu re 3 is a front elevation, the body and front wheels of the automobile beiiig 60 shown in dottecl lines, Figu re 4 is an enlarged side vieiv of a tiltably and rotatably inouilted I-ieadlight with the nlechanism for operating the saille, Figu re 5 is a view of the undersid-- of the 65 tiltable headlight with operating rod for iii0vin g it iii a tilted position, , illigu re 6 is a sectional detail of the iiiechanism for tiltiiig the headlight froiii the driver' s seat, 70 Ficu re 7 is a plan vieiv of the iiig'ie iiidicatindisc for setting the headlight whell operat ed. Figu re 8 is a detail vie-", of @t modi@e@[ form of headlioht carrier ivith clirection 75 inclic,,t tor rigidl@'iiiountecl thereon. Re ferring now more 1,)articularly to the drawin g in which ,t preferred example of my invention is shown, the numeral 10 design ates the f r,,tme of ,in autoiilobile, 1 1 50 tlae steering columi-i and 12 the steeriiiw gear arm of well kno-",n coiistrliction to -",hicli is coniiected the steerino, i-iiechallism b37 -@ drag link 13. See-Lired at each end, as at ll-, and to the felider 15 is a channel bar 16 @in @5 which are niounted the hetdl.ight carryi.ngsteins 17 rotat,,tble therein by naeans of suitable disc bearings 18 carried by tl-ie channel bar. The -Lipper ends of the stems 1'( are formed ivli.tl-i a seini-eirelilar or cup-shapel 9@) support, carrying rneiiiber 19 or tlie37 iii,.ly be continued to form a coiiiplete circle as illustrated in the niodified form iii FigLire 8 and in -which are pivotally inounted as Pt 20 the lie@idliglits 21 by meaiis of- pin,,,; adapted to engage witl-i the orifices 23 ill the carrier 19. The loaver elicl of one of thpsuppoiting stenis 17 has rigidly seoured thereto, as at 24, the end of a rod 25 tiie otlier end of which is fixedly secui@ed iii any sliitable m,,iiiner to the steering a,,!lia 12 as at 26. This rod is suitabli, bent to gilte a more satisfactory result in operation. 214 is a signal or direction indi-ea L'or fornied integral with the headliglit casing or I on the carrier therefor, 19, and is arranoed with the front thrown back at top so that when the li@ht is tipped to reiilove glare the front of signal is brought arallel with light p 110 support.
