PATENT OFFI'CE.
UNITED STATES HENRY WILLIAM HVIID AND JULIUS AUGUST JENSEN, OF COPENHAGEN, DENMARK.
MUD GUARD FOR MOTOR CARS.
Application filed August 1, 1923, Serial No.
Our invention relates to a mud-guard to be placed on the side of the wheels of automobiles, in order to prevent splash or girt from the road being thrown on passers- Our mud-guard belongs to that kind of guards, which is hung on the axle and is provided with an india rubber plate in order to prevent splashing in a lateral direction.
According to our invention a rotating bladed rotor is placed between such a. plate and the wheel of the automobile, which bladed rotor conveys the particles of dirt splashed up away in a direction parallel to the direction of the driving, without their coming outside a box surrounding the bladed rotor.
Our invention is illustrated in the ac.-
companying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a fragment of an automobile inside view, the foreand hind-wheels being provided with the mud-guard;
Fig. 2 the hind-wheel with the guard in section; and
Fig. 3 the fore-wheel with the same, partly in section.
1 is a box or casing with an india rubber plate 2. The box is provided with a suspension piece 3 having a lengthened slot 4,
by means of which the mud guard is suspended in accordance with the wheel diameter on a quadrangular pivot 5, that is placed in prolongation of the foreshaft of the automobile. In the casing 1 is lodged a shaft 6, about which a hub 7 can turn. On the hub 7 are fastened wings 8 made for in stance of india rubber linen. The hub is provided with a small disc 9, about which,
when the mud-guard is placed in position, a string 10 is carried, which at the same time passes round a larger disc 11 attached to the carriage wheel and, being thus fastened on the hub of the carriage-wheel-it turns together with the same.
The box or casing 1 has no cover-plate against the wheel, but it is closed at the ends, at any rate at the hind end, and the india rubber plate, which can be cut 0E straight below, covers at the ends to the same extent as the box.
655,109, and in Denmark February 27, 1922.
The mud-guard for the hind-wheel distinguishes itself from that for the forewheel only by its suspension-means, the suspension piece being divided lnto a carry1ngpiece 12 having a circular hole, in which a round pivot 13 placed in prolongation of the shaft of the hind wheel can rotate, and a number of connecting holes, while the second piece of the suspension-device consists of a connecting piece 14:, sitting on the box 1, which besides is held in position as to the hind wheel by a stay 15 fastened to the usual guard 16 of the car.
The working of the mud-guard will hereafter be easily understood. During the driving the wings 8 are namely put into rotation through the discs 9 and 11 and the string 10. The quickly rotating Wings carry dirt and water from the road, which eventually is splashed up, behind in relation to the driving direction of the automobile, gnd the splashes are then caught up by the The details ofour mud-guard may be varied, without departing from the principle of the invention.
Having thus described our invention, We claim:
In mud-guards for motor-cars the combination, with a plate suspended on the wheel-shaft beside the carriage wheel, and a bladed rotor operated by the wheel, of a casing shut at the ends and carrying the said plate, a shaft placed in the said casing, a turnable hub mounted on the said shaft and forming part of the bladed rotor, said rotor being arranged behind the said plate so that it conveys the particles of dirt splashed u away in a direction parallel to that in which the car is moving, a small disc connected with the said hub, a larger disc attached to the hub of the carriage wheel, a belt connecting the said discs, and an adjustable suspension-piece connected with the said casing and carried by a pivot placed on the wheel-shaft, substantially as set forth.
In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands.
HENRY WILLIAM HVIID. JULIUS AUGUST JENSEN.
