  • Orientable support for the mudguard of a steered wheel of an operating machinery, such as a tractor
    Patent number: 7481442
    Abstract: Mudguard support for self-propelled operating machinery mounted on wheels, comprising a first element (2) intended to be fixed on the hub (11) of a steered wheel of the machinery, and a second element (3) which is articulated to the preceding along a substantially vertical axis (4), and is set to support the mudguard of said wheel, where between said first (2) and second (3) elements a repositioning system is interposed adapted to constantly force the mentioned elements towards a neutral configuration wherein the mudguard is found in the normal covering position of the wheel, and where a counter means is foreseen adapted to hold said second element at the time of particularly sharp turns in the direction wherein the position plane of the wheel diverges from the axis of the machinery in the movement direction, a further counter means being foreseen adapted to hold said second element at the time of particularly sharp turns in the direction wherein the position plane of the wheel converges towards the axis of t
