Regards; Registration - retaining clip for dirt trap. General:

Mud flaps prevent when the road surface is wet or dirty that strong whirling up of water or dirt and thus bring increased safety for the following traffic, ie., the windshield of the following road user is nowhere near as dirty as it is from someone driving ahead Car without a mud flap would be the case.

All mud flaps are currently screwed to the fender by means of screws, namely to the lap of the wheel arch or by means of an auxiliary holding device on the fender or wheel arch using flat or retaining plates. (Figure a)

For the patent application, the retaining clip that can be seen in the design drawings is attached to the dirt trap by means of a Clamp with clamping screw, (Figure c) of a clamping wedge, preferably by means of an eccentric (Figure b) on the fender holds on.

This clip for mud flaps is supposed to be due to the low assembly price (Easily self-assembly also possible) increase the incentive to buy and attach the mud flaps. This would be a bring increased safety in road traffic with them.

The retaining clip for the dirt trap consists of:

1.) The clamp body with two inserted about three mm from the Contact surface protruding steel tips in the form of screws or steel pins.

2.) The eccentric bolt, (see construction drawing - eccentric) which serves as an abutment for the clamp body. In the tense state, this presses the mud flap onto the overlap of the Fender. (Figure d)

The construction of the eccentric has the advantage that the full clamping force can only be achieved with a 1A turn will.

The eccentric bolt is turned in the direction of the eccentric by means of a ring, jaw, preferably an Allen key, and locked in place by means of a stop, grid, preferably the two support points of the eccentric. The latter has the advantage that you can turn the eccentric in both directions for fastening. (Figure e )

The engagement in the clamped state is clearly marked, as you always have to go over the longer corner dimension to clamp or loosen. (Figure f + g)

At the same time, the tips in the pressure surface of the clamp body are pressed by the pressure of the eccentric through the mud flap onto the flap plate of the fender ( Figure h) and thus prevent it from twisting and slipping.

The mud flap is attached to the fender with 1 to 3 clamps and can be installed and removed at any time without damaging the fender.
It is not necessary to dismantle the car's wheels for this.
