Fastening support for mudguard and mudguard arrangement

摘要

A mudguard fastening support is intended to connect the mudguard to a hub of a turning wheel. In a normal turning position, the mudguard turns with the wheel. The mudguard fastening support has a flexible structure in such a manner that a stop element prevents the mudguard from turning along with the wheel at an angle that is larger than a specific turning angle. With the flexible structure the mudguard is returned to turn with the wheel at an angle that is smaller than said specific turning angle. The mudguard fastening support has a turning sleeve to be fixed to the mudguard and a support element to be fixed to the hub of the wheel. The turning sleeve and support element have form surfaces facing each other, one of which forms a support surface and the other forms a mating surface. The support surface has a tip part with a rounded peak toward the mating surface. The mating surface has an operating position recess which is furthest away from the support surface and to which in a normal operating situation the tip part is to be arranged, and adjacent to the operating position recess, a bevelled surface.

1. A mudguard fastening support that is intended to connect the mudguard to a hub of a turning wheel, whereby at an angle that is smaller than a specific turning angle, the mudguard turns with the wheel, the mudguard fastening support having a flexible structure, a stop element preventing the mudguard from turning along with the wheel at an angle that is larger than the specific turning angle, and with the flexible structure the mudguard is returned to turn with the wheel at the angle that is smaller than said specific turning angle, the mudguard fastening support also having a turning sleeve to be fixed to the mudguard and a support element to be fixed to the hub of the turning wheel, the turning sleeve and support element having form surfaces facing each other, one of which forms a support surface and the other a mating surface, whereby the support surface has toward the mating surface a tip part having angular sides transitioning into a rounded peak, the tip part being of a uniform structure with the support element or the turning sleeve, and the mating surface has an operating position recess, which is furthest away from the support surface and to which at the angle that is smaller than the specific turning angle the tip part is arranged to be settled, and a bevelled surface adjacent to the operating position recess,
wherein the support element has a cylindrical support pin and the turning sleeve has a cylindrical inner surface for settling against the support pin, and wherein the turning sleeve includes a flange portion extending away from the mating surface towards the support element such that the flange portion covers the mating surface and the support surface when the cylindrical support pin is received in the turning sleeve.
