Description
6~4 "RETRACTABLE MUD GUARD FOR CYCLES"
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in extendable and retractable mud guards for cycles and al-though it is designed primarily for use with the rear wheel of a bicycle, nevertheless it will be appreciated that it can readily be adapted for use with unguarded wheels of tricycles other or/types of cycle vehicle. Although the drawings and descrip-tion refer to the rear wheel of a bicycle, nevertheless it is to be understood that all other forms of cycle vehicles are - included in the invention.
Conventionally, rear wheels of bicycles are not pro-vided with mud guards so that when being used in inclement weather, the wheel picks up moisture, mud, etc. and sprays it onto the back of the cyclist.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention overcomes this fault with the majority of bicycles by providing a lightweight retractable mud guard assembly normally securable under the saddle of the cycle and which can be extended to cover the upper portion of the rear tire when cycling in inclement weather thereby protecting the cyclist from the aforementioned mud, moisture and the like.
In accordance with the invention there is provided in cycle which includes a rear axle, a rear wheel journalled for rotation thereon, a pair of upper wheel forks extending upwardly from the axle and a saddle secured to the upper ends of the . . .
; : ~: .. .; . :
~ \
36Ç~4 wheel forks; a retractable mud guard assembly for shielding the upper part of a wheel of said cycle, said mud guard as-sembly comprising in combination a strip of flexible synthe-tic plastic, means to secure same to the cycle in alignment with the wheel to be shielded, means to extend and retract said strip from an extended shielding position to a stored rolled position and vice versa, at least one strut component detachably secured by the lower end thereof to adjacent the axle of the wheel to be shielded, said strut being movable 10 from a stored position to an extended position and vice versa and means on the distal end of said strip to detachably secure said distal end to the other end of said strut when said strut is in the extended position.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a device of the character herewithin described which is stored in an inconspicuous manner when not in use yet which can rea-dily be extended for use when desired.
Another advantage of the invention is to provide a device of the character herewithin described which is readily 20 attachable to existing bicycles and the like merely by attach-ing various clips and brackets to the existing structure.
Still another advantage of the invention is to pro-vide a device of the character herewithin described which, in its preferred embodiment,includes a retractable strip which is inherently in roll form and is provided with memory so that when the roll is unrolled and then released, it immediately rolls 86~4 to the rolled configuration for storage purposes.
A still further advantage of the present invention is to provide a device of the character herewithin described which is simple in construction, economical in manufacture and otherwise well suited to the purpose for which it is designed.
With the foregoing in view, and other advantages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, the invention is herein described by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, which includes a description of the pre-ferred typical embodiment of the principles of the present in-vention, in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Proceeding therefore to describe the invention in de-tail, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings in which 10 illustrates generally, a bicycle includ~ng the rear saddle bar 11, lower fork assembly 12, upper fork assembly 13, rear wheel axle 14 extending between the junctions of the forks 12 and 13, a rear wheel 15 journalled for rotation upon the axle in the usual manner and a saddle collectively designated 16 engaged within the member 11 in the usual way.
The saddle normally includes a pair of spring bars 17 one upon each side thereof with upturned rear portions 18 to which the detachable and retractable mud guard assembly 19 may , ~8~64 be detachably secured. However it will be appreciated that other means of securing the invention to the bicycle immediate-ly above the rear wheel and in alignment therewith, may be utilized.
In the present invention, the retractable mud guard assembly consists of a flexible strip of synthetic plastic 20 which, in the present embodiment, is provided with snap rings 21 or the like at one end 22 thereof by which it may be readily attached to the portions 18 of the spring bars 17 of the saddle 16.
In the present embodiment, the strip of synthetic plastic is formed in a rolled configuration shown in Figures 1 and 3 with plastic being provided with an inherent memory so that even when extended to the position shown in Figures 2 and 4, when released, it immediately returns to the rolled position illustrated in Figures 1 and 3. This is a well known property of certain plastics and as the details are well known to those skilled in the art, it is not believed necessary to describe same further.
In the present invention, it is desired that the roll-ed plastic roll underneath itself to the position shown in Figure 3 whereupon the outer surface 23 adjacent the attaching end 22, may be provided with a reflector patch 24 shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Means are provided to retain the strip of plastic in the extended position shown in Figures 2 and 4 whereupon the -strip covers the upper portion of the rear wheel 15 and pre-vents mud, moisture, etc. from being sprayed upon the back of the cyclist , said means comprising a pair of struts each collectively designated 25 and moveable from a stored position shown in Figure 3 to an extended position shown in Figure 4 and vice versa, it being understood that the plastic strip is also moveable from the stored position shown in Figures 1 and 3 to the extended position shown in Figures2 and 4 and vice versa.
Each strut comprises an elongated rod 26 having a double angulated distal end 27 with the angulation first being formed at right angles to form the portion 28 and then being angulated again to form the extremity 29 substantially parallel with the main portion 30 of the strut as clearly illustrated in Figures 7 and 12.
Means are provided to detachably secure the struts by the lower end thereof, to adjacent the rear axle 14 and to re-tain the struts in the extended position, said means taking the form of a clip collectively designated 31 and being shown in detail in Figures 7 and 12. It consists of an attaching plate 32 which is apertured as at 33 to engage over the axle 14 and to be clamped in position upon the axle by means of the conven-tional axle nut (not illustrated) with the remainder of the clip extending rearwardly from the axle 14. The clip is then angulated substantially at right angles as shown by reference character 34 whereupon it is angulated again to form the distal ~:
i~G~a end portion 35 which lies substantially spaced from but parallel to the plate 32 and a small aperture 36 is formed through this distal end portion 35 intermediate the ends thereof. The outer portion 37 of the distal end portion 35 is curled over to form an open hook 38 as illustrated.
In use, the angulated end 28 and 29 is engaged through the aperture 36 from the inside thereof so that it takes up the position shown in Figure 8 when in the stored position but may be pivoted to the extended position whereupon the main portion 30 of the strut may be hooked under the hook 38 as illus-trated in Figures 8A and 12.
When the struts are in the stored position, they are engaged within a clip collectively designated 39 and shown in Figures 9 and 10. This clip includes the main circular portion 40 which engages around the the upper end of the rear fork 13 and which is also provided with a strut engaging looped portion 41 having open jaws 42 on one side thereof with curved entrance ends 43 to facilitate the engagement of the strut therein where-upon it is held securely when stored.
Other forms of clips may of course be used but which-ever type of clip is used, the struts are held in the stored position substantially lying along the rear fork members 13.
Means are provided to detachably secure the distal end of the strip 20, to the distal ends of the struts 25 and take the form, in this embodiment, of apertures 44 formed through the plastic strip adjacent the distal end 45 thereof. A flexible -. ., ,: - . .
, .
tip 46, preferably made of rubber, synthetic rubber, or other resilient material, is engaged over the distal ends 47 of the struts, said tips including a main cylindrical portion 48 and a conical distal end portion 49 with an annular groove 50 being formed around the tip adjacent the base of the conical end por-tion 49. The conical end portion 49 is engaged through the aperture 44 as shown in Figure 11 whereupon the edge of the material defining the aperture 44, within the strip 20, snap engages into the annular groove 50.
In use, the struts are disconnected from the clips 39 and swung or pivoted downwardly to engage under the curved hook-ed portion 38 of the brackets 31 whereupon the plastic strip 20 is unrolled against the inherent tendency of returning to the rolled position, until the apertures 44 are uncovered whereupon the tips 46 are engaged through the apertures 44. The strip endeavours to return to its rolled position and therefore applies tension to the struts maintaining them in position under the hooks 38 and preventing any rattling from occurring.
When it is desired to store the assembly, the strip 20 is detached from the tips 46 and allowed to return to the rolled configuration illustrated in Figures 1 and 3 whereupon the struts are unhooked from the hook 38 and swung or pivoted upwardly to engage the portion 41 of the clip 39 thus storing them one upon each side of the rear fork assembly 13. Although two such struts are shown, nevertheless it will be appreciated that, under certain circumstances, one strut may be sufficient but :,. :~
36~4 the preferred embodiment includes two struts, one upon each side.
The preferred method of attaching the strip by the attaching end 22 is shown in Figure 13. The spring bars 18 of the saddle are normally bolted to the rear of the saddle by bolts 18A and nuts 18B.
The nuts 18B are first removed and apertures 44 are engaged over the bolts 18A whereupon the nuts 18B are rein-stalled thus holding the strip in position.
Since various modifications can be made in my inven-tion as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely dif-ferent embodiments of same made within the spirit and scope of the claims without departing from such spirit and scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying speci- :
fication shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Proceeding therefore to describe the invention in de-tail, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings in which 10 illustrates generally, a bicycle includ~ng the rear saddle bar 11, lower fork assembly 12, upper fork assembly 13, rear wheel axle 14 extending between the junctions of the forks 12 and 13, a rear wheel 15 journalled for rotation upon the axle in the usual manner and a saddle collectively designated 16 engaged within the member 11 in the usual way.
The saddle normally includes a pair of spring bars 17 one upon each side thereof with upturned rear portions 18 to which the detachable and retractable mud guard assembly 19 may , ~8~64 be detachably secured. However it will be appreciated that other means of securing the invention to the bicycle immediate-ly above the rear wheel and in alignment therewith, may be utilized.
In the present invention, the retractable mud guard assembly consists of a flexible strip of synthetic plastic 20 which, in the present embodiment, is provided with snap rings 21 or the like at one end 22 thereof by which it may be readily attached to the portions 18 of the spring bars 17 of the saddle 16.
In the present embodiment, the strip of synthetic plastic is formed in a rolled configuration shown in Figures 1 and 3 with plastic being provided with an inherent memory so that even when extended to the position shown in Figures 2 and 4, when released, it immediately returns to the rolled position illustrated in Figures 1 and 3. This is a well known property of certain plastics and as the details are well known to those skilled in the art, it is not believed necessary to describe same further.
In the present invention, it is desired that the roll-ed plastic roll underneath itself to the position shown in Figure 3 whereupon the outer surface 23 adjacent the attaching end 22, may be provided with a reflector patch 24 shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Means are provided to retain the strip of plastic in the extended position shown in Figures 2 and 4 whereupon the -strip covers the upper portion of the rear wheel 15 and pre-vents mud, moisture, etc. from being sprayed upon the back of the cyclist , said means comprising a pair of struts each collectively designated 25 and moveable from a stored position shown in Figure 3 to an extended position shown in Figure 4 and vice versa, it being understood that the plastic strip is also moveable from the stored position shown in Figures 1 and 3 to the extended position shown in Figures2 and 4 and vice versa.
Each strut comprises an elongated rod 26 having a double angulated distal end 27 with the angulation first being formed at right angles to form the portion 28 and then being angulated again to form the extremity 29 substantially parallel with the main portion 30 of the strut as clearly illustrated in Figures 7 and 12.
Means are provided to detachably secure the struts by the lower end thereof, to adjacent the rear axle 14 and to re-tain the struts in the extended position, said means taking the form of a clip collectively designated 31 and being shown in detail in Figures 7 and 12. It consists of an attaching plate 32 which is apertured as at 33 to engage over the axle 14 and to be clamped in position upon the axle by means of the conven-tional axle nut (not illustrated) with the remainder of the clip extending rearwardly from the axle 14. The clip is then angulated substantially at right angles as shown by reference character 34 whereupon it is angulated again to form the distal ~:
i~G~a end portion 35 which lies substantially spaced from but parallel to the plate 32 and a small aperture 36 is formed through this distal end portion 35 intermediate the ends thereof. The outer portion 37 of the distal end portion 35 is curled over to form an open hook 38 as illustrated.
In use, the angulated end 28 and 29 is engaged through the aperture 36 from the inside thereof so that it takes up the position shown in Figure 8 when in the stored position but may be pivoted to the extended position whereupon the main portion 30 of the strut may be hooked under the hook 38 as illus-trated in Figures 8A and 12.
When the struts are in the stored position, they are engaged within a clip collectively designated 39 and shown in Figures 9 and 10. This clip includes the main circular portion 40 which engages around the the upper end of the rear fork 13 and which is also provided with a strut engaging looped portion 41 having open jaws 42 on one side thereof with curved entrance ends 43 to facilitate the engagement of the strut therein where-upon it is held securely when stored.
Other forms of clips may of course be used but which-ever type of clip is used, the struts are held in the stored position substantially lying along the rear fork members 13.
Means are provided to detachably secure the distal end of the strip 20, to the distal ends of the struts 25 and take the form, in this embodiment, of apertures 44 formed through the plastic strip adjacent the distal end 45 thereof. A flexible -. ., ,: - . .

tip 46, preferably made of rubber, synthetic rubber, or other resilient material, is engaged over the distal ends 47 of the struts, said tips including a main cylindrical portion 48 and a conical distal end portion 49 with an annular groove 50 being formed around the tip adjacent the base of the conical end por-tion 49. The conical end portion 49 is engaged through the aperture 44 as shown in Figure 11 whereupon the edge of the material defining the aperture 44, within the strip 20, snap engages into the annular groove 50.
In use, the struts are disconnected from the clips 39 and swung or pivoted downwardly to engage under the curved hook-ed portion 38 of the brackets 31 whereupon the plastic strip 20 is unrolled against the inherent tendency of returning to the rolled position, until the apertures 44 are uncovered whereupon the tips 46 are engaged through the apertures 44. The strip endeavours to return to its rolled position and therefore applies tension to the struts maintaining them in position under the hooks 38 and preventing any rattling from occurring.
When it is desired to store the assembly, the strip 20 is detached from the tips 46 and allowed to return to the rolled configuration illustrated in Figures 1 and 3 whereupon the struts are unhooked from the hook 38 and swung or pivoted upwardly to engage the portion 41 of the clip 39 thus storing them one upon each side of the rear fork assembly 13. Although two such struts are shown, nevertheless it will be appreciated that, under certain circumstances, one strut may be sufficient but :,. :~
36~4 the preferred embodiment includes two struts, one upon each side.
The preferred method of attaching the strip by the attaching end 22 is shown in Figure 13. The spring bars 18 of the saddle are normally bolted to the rear of the saddle by bolts 18A and nuts 18B.
The nuts 18B are first removed and apertures 44 are engaged over the bolts 18A whereupon the nuts 18B are rein-stalled thus holding the strip in position.
