In operation should a person be struck by the fender the arms will be instantly moved to positions to prevent the person from being thrown ofi while the car is in motion. While I have described the sliding frame beneath the platform of the fender as a means for holding the arms against the tension of the springs of saidarms it will of course be understood that any well known actuating element may be employed in lieu thereof.
I claim. r v
1. A car fender having a movable member at the front thereof, a rotatably mounted retaining member, and means on the movable member for engaging the said retaining member to hold the same normally. against rotation.
2. A fender for vehicles having a transversely extending movable member at its forward edge, revolubly mounted retaining elements having vertically disposed arms at their forward ends, spring means exerting its tension against the elements to cause the same to revolve in one direction, the said arms being located at the forward end of the fender, and means on the movable member for engaging the said elements to hold-the same against rotation against the tension of the spring means and operable upon movement of the said movable member to release the said elements to cause the same to move through the tension of the spring and to cause the arm of the said retaining member Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the to assume a horizontal position at the front of the fender.
' 3. A fender for vehicles having movable spring-controlled retaining arms located at the forward end of the fender, and movable actuating means operable to hold the arms normally in vertical positions and operable when moved in one direction to releasethe arms.
4. In a car fender, the combination with a scoop; of a sliding frame at the side of the scoop, the said frame being provided with a front portion which is normally spaced from the front of thescoop, retaining elements rotatably mounted at the sides of the scoop and provided at their forward ends with normally vertically disposed fingers, fingers on the sliding frame engaging the first fingers to hold the retaining elements normally against rotation, and springs exerting their tension against the retaining elements to rotate them in one the fingers of the sliding frame are released from the fingers of the retaining elements'so as to cause the retaining elements to move to positions where their fingers will be disposed substantially in a plane with each other and horizontally.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
