description of the invention,

Application filed April 22, 1924. Serial No. 708,272.
concern:
I, ARTHUR J. lilo-Grinn- United States, residing Oklaklahoma, have invented Improvement in Auto and I do hereby declare a full, clear, and exact such as will in the art to which it same. simple and useful improvements in auto fender brace lugs and pertains more particularly to tension rod braces.
The primary object of securely fasten the brace the invention is to to the fender with out mutilating the latter with rivet or bolt holes.
Another Ol)]QCt of the invention is to provide a lug that requires neither drills nor special tools for attaching the same tothe fender and one which can be attached in a few minutes time.
A further ob ect of the invention is to provide a device that is interchangeable between the front and the rear fenders and one that utilizes the full rod.
strength of the fender Other objects will appear and be better understood from that embodiment of my invention of which the following 1S a speciiication,
reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part thereof in which Fig. 3 is a plan, side and end elevation of the lug.
Referring to the lug is designated by several views, the de drawing in detail, the the numeral at in the vice consisting substantial y of a hollow cylinder, one end 8 being cut at right angles to the axis of the said hollow cylinder and the other end 9 being cut slanting and having the extreme end 7 turned upward sharply to form a grippmg member, the said member engaging the under side of the inner edge of the fender, while with the fender rod 11 passing over the fender, between the two the latter is held in a vise-like grip as shown at 10. The rods 11 are provided with a hook 12 which engages the outer edge of the fender, said rods ll pass transversely of either the forward or rearward end of the vehicle, and are provided with a turnbuckle 13 of the usual type, by means of which the proper adjustment and tension may be secured in rods 11, and the latter may have that portion of their outer ends immediately above the fender flattened as shown in Fig. 2 or given any other shape so as to conform to the contour of the fender. My improved lug r slidably engages rod 11, on its upper surface at 5 and its lower surface at 6, as shown in section in Fig. 2.
In attaching the fender brace by means of my improved lug l, the following simple steps are all that is necessary: Slip the hooks 12 of rods 11 over the fenders, slide lug 4: on rods 11 until it engages the under edge of the fender at 10, strike the lug i a light blow with a hammer so that gripping member 7 securely engages the under side of the fender at 10, tighten the turnbuckle 13 with a screwdriver, tire tool or other convenient implement, thus gripping the fender as in a vise and at the same time gripping the rod 11 at 6 against any slipping, thereby making a rigid, rattle-proof connection that will not come loose. All of this can be done without defacing the fender, there are no special tools required, there are no rivet or bolt holes to drill and the work can be done in a few minutes time by the most unskilled person. In like manner should it be necessary to remove the brace for any reason, simply unscrew the turnbuckle 13 and tap the lug l with a hammer or other tool.
Attention is called to the fact that with my improved lug l the full strength of rod 11 is utilized as the latter is not weakened by drilling for bolt or rivet holes in order to atttach the said lug l, and for this reason a lighter and better appearing rod may be used. Furthermore there are no bolts or nuts to work loose, drop out and cause the fender to rattle.
Having thus fully what I claim is:
In combination with a pair of rods extending transversely of either the forward or the rearward end of the vehicle and forming a longitudinally adjustable support comprising rods having hooked ends adapted to engage the outer edges of the fenders, said rods being adjustably connected by a turnbuckle, a hollow cylindrical lug slidably engaging the said rods at the inner edges of the fenders, means provided on said lug for gripping said inner edges of fenders, means for gripping said rods so as to eliminate all bolts and rivets.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
ARTHUR J. MCCLELLAN D.
