  • Patent number: 4591178
    Abstract: The quick attach fender of the present invention comprises a stationary bracket adapted to be mounted to a vehicle frame. The bracket has at least two horizontally extending shafts which extend from the vehicle frame toward the wheel of the vehicle. Detachably mounted to the bracket is a shield assembly comprising a flat sheet member and a shield frame attached to the sheet member. The shield frame has at least two sleeve members sized and positioned to telescopically slide over the shafts of the bracket so as to support the shield in at least partial covering relation over the wheel. Bolts threadably engage the sleeve members and the horizontal shafts to permit selective attachment and detachment of the sleeve members to the shafts. The fender can be quickly removed by loosening the bolts and sliding the sleeves off of the shafts. Similarly, it can be reattached merely by sliding the sleeves onto the shafts and by tightening the bolts.
