Abstract
A splashguard for vehicles comprising a top section for securement to the vehicle, a central hinging area, and in preferred construction, a bottom flap section. The hinging area is made up of a number of elongate and parallel hinge members, the top and bottom sections and the intermediate hinge members are secured together by extensible members passing through these components, which enable relative movement between the various components of the device.
Claims9
A mud- and splashguard for vehicles comprising a top section having provision for securement to a vehicle, the top section having a straight lower edge surface,
- and at least one elongate hinge member in parallel contact with the lower edge surface,
- and at least two individual elastically extensible helical springs passing transversely through the elongate hinge member and through the lower edge surface of the top section and holding the elongate hinge member in parallel contacting relationship with the lower edge surface, upper and lower ends of the individual elastically extensible members being independently secured to the top section and to the hinge member respectively, by bolts passing through holes provided therein which are threadedly received within ends of the helical springs, the helical springs enabling relative movement between the hinge member and the top section.
A splashguard for vehicles comprising
- a top section having provision for securement to a vehicle and having a straight lower edge surface,
- a bottom flap section having a straight upper edge surface,
- at least one elongate hinge member in parallel contact with and between the upper and lower edge surface,
- and at least two individual elastically extensible helical springs passing transversely through the hinge member and through said upper and lower edge surfaces,
- upper and lower ends of the individual elastically extensible helical springs being independently secured to the top section and to the bottom flap section respectively by bolts passing through holes provided therein and which are threadedly received within ends of the helical springs.
A vehicle mud- and splashguard assembly kit including
- a top section having provision for securement to a vehicle and having a straight lower edge surface,
- and a bottom flap section having a straight upper edge surface, and at least one elongate hinge member adapted to be positioned in parallel contact with and between the upper and lower edge surface,
- and a pair of elastically extensible helical springs adapted to pass transversely through the elongate hinge section and through the lower edge and upper edge surfaces to hold the elongate hinge member in parallel contacting relationship between the lower edge and the upper edge surface, upper and lower ends of the elastically extensible helical springs being adapted for independent securement to the upper edge surface and to the lower edge surface respectively by bolts passing through holes provided therein which are threadedly received within ends of the helical springs, the helical springs upon assembly of the splashguard enabling relative movement between the top section and the bottom flap section.
