AUTOMOBILE-LOCK Application filed January 31, 1919.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ALEXANDER M.
. MCGIFF, a citizen of the United States, and
a residentof the city, county, and State of New York, and HARRY CHINSKY, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city, county, and State of Xew York, have invented certain new and useful 1mprovements in Automobile-Locks, of which the following is a specification."
This invention relates to a lock for automobiles, or self propelled vehicles in general, whereby the propelling mechanism may be locked against movement during absence of the driver.
The invention has for an object to provide a novel and simple locking device capable of easy attachment-to automobiles of ordinary type. i
For further comprehension of the invention and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a part side elevation and part longitudinal section of an automobile having the invention applied thereto;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective View thereof;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of the locking device, this view being taken on the line 33 of Fig. 4;
Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a detail View showing the ratchet wheel on the drive shaft and the keeper engaging therewith; V
Fig. 6 is a similar view with the keeper withdrawn;
Fig. 7is a detail elevation with the casing "partly broken away, of the combination locking mechanism;
' Fig. 8 1s a plan view thereof, partsbeing showrrip horizontal section. The body of an automobile of ordinary construction is shown at 1, the drivers seat at 2, themotor at 3, this latter being connected by the usual transmission gearing 4 and universal joint 5 to the drive shaft 0.

which connects in the usual manner to the rear wheels, one of which is shown at 7.
Our improved locking device comprises a casing 10 secured as by the bolts 11 to the Patented Dec. 9, 1919.
wall 12 extending up from the floor 13 of the automobile. A rack bar 14- extends vertically through this casing, being guided at upper and lower ends in suitable guide brackets 15 and 16. and has formed integral with its lower end a pair of spaced teeth 17 which are adapted to engage a ratchet wheel 18 rigidly fixed to the drive shaft 6. This ratchet wheel is here shown as made up of two halves secured together by the bolts 19.
A pinion 25 meshes with the teeth of the rack bar ll, this pinion being mounted on a stub shaft 26 which extends between and-is ournaled in, the rear wall of the casing 10 and an angle bracket 27 fixed, as by screws 28, to the said rear wall. A lost motion connection is provided between the pinion and shaft as indicated by the key 29 on the shaft projecting into widened groove 29' in the pinion boring. Secured also upon this stub shaft 26 is a bevel pinion 3O meshing with a second bevel pinion 31 on the lower end of a spindle which is journaled at its lower end in the angle bracket 27 and extends up wardly centrally through a cylindrical cas,
ing 33 mounted on top of the casing 10, this casing 33 containing my improved combination lock whereby the spindle, and in consequence the rack bar 14, is locked in position. The upper end of the spindle projects through the top of the casing and is pro vided with a thumb piece 32 for adyustmcnt.
As here shown a hook 34 projects horizontally from the spindle 32 below a circular flange 35 fixed on a sleeve 36 surrounding the spindle and. extending downwardly through the top of the casing 33 and having an extcrionknob 37 for adjustment. The end of the hook 3% projects across the face of a pawl 38 pivoted as at 39 on the flange 35 and pressed back or out, against a stop 40 by a spring 41. 'ihe periphery of the flange 35.
is formed with a number of unevjen teeth 42. A disk 45 is pivoted upon a stud 46 on the bottom of the casing 33, this disk lying in acommon horizontal plane with the flange with its periphery close to that of the latter parts adaptedto permit of forwejrd movement of the flange by a step by step movement as the disk is successively moved to predetermined positions, means whereby the disk may be set in the said predetermined positions, and a member fixed to said spindle and coiiperating with said flange where- 1S prevented.
In testimony whereof,
we have signed 10 our names to this specification.
