PATENT OFFICE.
NORMAN T. HARRINGTON, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGN OR TO OLDS MOTOR WORKS, MICHIGAN.
OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, A CORPORATION OF BODY FoR MOTOR-VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 780,746, dated January 24, 1905.
Application filed August 16, 1904. Serial No. 220,945.
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, NORMAN T. HARRING- TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bodies for Motor-Vehicles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to motor-vehicles, and has particular reference to the construction of the body and the arrangement of the same upon the supporting-frame. I
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the body and frame of the motor-vehicle, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the frame.
A is the body-supporting frame, which is preferably of rectangular form, comprising the longitudinal sidebars a and the forward and rear end bars I) and c.
B represents spring arms extending forward and rearward of the body and attached to the side bars of the frame A at points intermediate their, ends. The free ends of the spring-arms are supported upon the forward and rear axles c and d.
The body comprises a seat E, which is hinged at its forward edge to the seat-frame F, so as to be capable of folding downward adjacent to the front panel Or of said frame.
H is the dashboard, and I is a footboard, which is provided with two hinged panels J and K. The panel J is adapted to turn upward adjacent to the dash H, while the panel K can be swung adjacent to the panel G.
The arrangement of mechanism supported by the vehicle-frame is such that the engine L has its cylinder and valve mechanism arranged beneath the footboard. Thus by turning up the panels K and J access may be had to the mechanism beneath. The panel G of the seat-frame is also preferably hinged at its lower edge,so as to be capable of folding downward to permit of access to the parts beneath the seat-frame, and for further access thereto the seat E may be turned down adjacent to said panel.
What I claim as my invention is 1. In a motor-vehicle the combination with body and supporting-frame therefor, of crossa hinged panel of the footboard of the body.
2. In a motorvehicle,a body comprising a seat, a dash and a footboard the latter having a panel thereof. hinged to turn up adjacent to said seat.
3. In a motor-vehicle, a body comprising a seat, a dash and a footboard the latter having oppositely-disposed hinged portions the rear portion thereofarranged to fold adjacent to said seat and the front portion arranged to fold adjacent to said dash.
4:. In a motorrvehicle, a body comprisinga seat, a dash and afootboard,-the latter having oppositely-disposed hinged portions the rear portion being horizontal and adapted to fold adjacent to said seat, and a forward portion inclining and adapted to fold adjacent tosaid dash.
5. In a motor-vehicle, a body comprising a seat-frame provided with afront panel, a dash and a footboard having a section hinged to fold upward adjacent to said panel, and a seat hinged to fold downward adjacent to said panel.
6. In a motor-vehicle, a body comprising a seat-frame provided with a front panel, a dash, a footboard having two hinged sections adapted to fold upward respectively adjacent to,
said panel and dash, and a seat hinged to said frame adapted to'fold downward adjacent to said panel. 7
7. In a motor-vehicle, a body comprising a seat-frame provided with afront panel hinged adjacent its lower end to swing downwardly adjacent the footboard, said footboard having oppositely-disposed hinged sections adapted to fold upward respectively adjacent to said panel and the dashboard, and a seat'hinged to said seat-frame adapted to fold downward adjacent the panel of said frame.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
NORMAN T. HARRINGTON.
