The object of my present invention is to prevent bulging of the guard band under the ;circumstances noted, by providing a guard band that is composed of two relatively movable sections which are of such lengths respectively that their adjacent ends overlap, and providing resilient means extending between the sections to take up any slack that may occur in either section of the guard band,
thereby maintaining the flexible f retaining strip at all times in the supporting groove provided therefor in the outer face of the rubber bumper.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 isa plan view of an amusement car of the type noted and showing mechanism made in accordance with the present inven- 'tion as applied to the rubber bumper thereof;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the car shown in Fig. 1
. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3, of Fig. 2; 7 e I Fig. 4: is an inside elevation of the protective band shown in Fig. 3, the rubber bumper being removed; A
Fig. 5 isa sectional view taken on the line 5-5, Fig. 3; and
Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 6-6, Fig. 4. I
Referring to the drawings, 1 is an amusement car having a rubber bumper 2 encircling the car and attached thereto in the manner illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings. A groove 3 is provided in the outer face of the rubber bumper 2 and extending longitudinally thereof. The groove 3 is adapted to receive leather or other flexible stripsl and 5 which are secured to the inner faces of the forward and rear guard band sections 6 and 7 respectively. I l
The aforementioned flexible strips 4 and 5 are of such relative lengths and their combined lengths are such, with; respect to the circumferential measurement of the base of the groove 3, that a-space is provided intermediate theopposing'ends of the strips 4 and-5 i-n thegroove 3, on each side of the car, thereby allowingfor relative movement between the opposing ends of the strips 4: and 5, in order that any slack occurring in the band sections 6' and 7' maybe taken up, and also providing a' recess for the reception of the take-up means.
The take-up means in the present instance comprises coiledsprings, or similarly resilient elements, 8, 8. The forward ends of springs 8 are attached to hooks 9respec'tively riveted to the guard band section 6, while the rear ends of springs 8 are attached to one end of a steel block'lO, which is slidably mounted in andwith respect to; the groove .3 in the I rubber bumper .The said rear ends of the springs 8, 8 are disposed in slots 15, 15 formed in the said end of the block 10 and a pin 11 passes through the block, the slots and the ends ofthe springs 8 disposed in the slots to secure the ends of the springs to the block.
The blocks 10 are rigidly attached to the opposite ends of the guard band section 7 each by a studbolt 12 that is riveted in the band section 7 and which passes through an elongated slot l l formed inthe adjacent overlapping end of the band section 6. A spacer element 13 is mounted on the stud 12 and is adapted to slide in the slot 14, formed in guard band section 6, said guard band section 6 being slidably interposed between the aforementioned block 10 and the guard band section 7 said spacers 13 being adapted to maintain the blocks and ends of the guard band 7 in such spaced relation as to permit free longitudinal movement of the ends of the guard band 6 therebetween.
Slots In Car Bumpers Decals
The construction of the bumper is such that there is a constant tightening or foreshortening force exerted on the guard band sections 6 and 7, thereby preventing any slack or bulging from developing in the guard band. The springs 8 are adapted to effect a relative longitudinal movement between the overlapping ends of the guard band sections Grand 7, so that when the car contacts with a fixed abutment or some other movable body, causing a compression of the rubber bumper 2, the leather strips 4 and 5 011 the band sections 6 and 7 will bemaintained within the supporting groove 3 in the bumper 2, so that the guard band will at no time be dislodged from the rubber bumper 2.
The blocks 10 are respectively provided with circular cavities 20, in axial alignment with the openings 21 through which the bolts 12 pass, for the reception of circular nuts 22 having hexagonal heads 23, by means of which the ends of the guard band section 7, the spacers 18 and the blocks 10 are held. rigidly in proper relation to each other to permit the ends of the band section 6 to slide between the blocks 10 and the adjacent ends of the band section 7 7 While I have shown the embodiment of my invention for the purpose of description, it is apparent that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention.

4. In a device of the type described, the
I combination of a rubber bumper, a guard band carried by the bumper, and tension means secured to said band at spaced points therein, adapted to prevent slack in the band.
5. In a device of the type described, the combination of a rubber bumper, a guard band for said bumper comprising a plurality of sections, and tension means operatively connecting adjacent ends of the band sections to prevent slack in said guard band.
6. In a device of the type described, the combination of a rubber bumper having a longitudinal groove formed therein, a guard band, a supporting strip attached to said guard band and located in the said groove, and tension means tending to shorten said band to retain said supporting strip in said groove.
7 In a device of the type described, the combination of a rubber bumper having a longitudinal groove therein, a guard band comprising a plurality of sections, supporting strips attached to said guardband sections and adapted to be maintained in aforementioned groove, and tension means operatively connecting adjacent ends of said band sections to prevent slack in said guard band whereby the supporting strips are maintained in the groove.
.8. In a device of the type described, the combination of a rubber bumper, a guard band comprising a plurality of sections having their ends overlapping, and springs con-' necting the ends of adjacent band sections and adapted to afford a relative longitudinal in 'said groove, intermediate the ends of the strips and adapted to afford a relative longitudinal movement between the overlapping ends of the said sections of the guard'band.
' 10. In a device ofthe type'described, :the combination of a rubber bumper, a'guard band section having slots formed respectivelyv in the opposite ends thereof, a second guard band section disposed with its ends'over-lapping the ends ofthe first said section, a block the first said section therebetween, and means passing through theslots in the ends'of the first said section to secure the blocks to the ends of the second said section.

A-Body Jack IdentificationThis page is a guide to identifying Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth jacks and jack hooks. This will help you identify the proper jack parts for your particular car or parts you may have laying around. Note that this page only covers up through 1971 models. After that, Chrysler went to a universal jack type that had a hook that fit into a slot in the bumper. I am not an expert, I have gathered this information from several sources and some of it may not be correct, please feel free to send corrections. I'm also looking for pictures to fill the holes in the list. Note: Although 1972 and up cars use a hook and slot setup on the jack, There was a recall hook on Ebay that was listed as being for 1972 Fury with front bumper guards. Click here to see it. I don't know if there were other ones for other models. This will be a growing page as I gather more information and photos. If you have anything to contribute, feel free to contact me at
Please Note: The photos shown below are for identification only. I do not sell jacks or jack parts. Some jack hooks are available as reproductions, others can only be found used. Ebay is a good source. - A-Body Jack Identificaiton - Compact Cars - Darts, Valiants, Barracuda ('69-down), etc.
