  • Vehicle with pivoting mudguard
    Patent number: 5975548
    Abstract: A vehicle is disclosed having a hub assembly for a steerable wheel mounted for pivoting movement relative to an axle about a first axis. A mudguard is mounted for pivotal movement relative to the axle (or the hub assembly) about a second axis offset from the first axis. A linkage acting on the mudguard, the axle and the hub assembly rotates the mudguard about the second axis in response to and in synchronism with the pivoting of the hub assembly about the first axis so as to cause the position of the mudguard relative to the wheel to vary with the steering angle.
