  • Patent number: 5120073
    Abstract: This fender system comprises three seprate fender elements (28,34,42) positioned to block mainly the tangential spray (22) that would hit the rider. There are two wheel mounted fenders (24,26) and an optional seat mounted one (28), all of which are easily removable. Each is constructed of an essentially flat strip, preferably of clear plastic, the seat one being flexible. They are positioned and oriented so as to block substantially all of the spray that would hit the rider and yet be of the smallest possible dimensions. Each wheel mounted fender element is supported preferably by a single ell-shaped support arm (40) with an attachment whose design depends on the bike design but which allows the fender to be quicklly removed in dry weather without tools. The preferred mounting method would be a quick-release bracket (58) that could be left in place when the fender was removed. It could be removed with the fender if the bike is equipped with a standard axle quick-release fitting.
