Abstract: A spray suppressant brush apparatus is mounted to a vehicle fender adjacent to the ground-engaging tires. The apparatus comprises a dual channel mounting member. The first channel is preferably U-shaped and slidably receives the base of a spray suppressant brush. The second channel is preferably C-shaped and slidably receives a rolled outboard edge of the vehicle fender. The C-shaped channel has a first arm and a second, thickened arm which substantially surrounds the rolled edge of the vehicle fender. The thickened arm has a lever flange which extends along the top edge of the fender a short distance. Outward force exerted on the spray suppressant brush is resisted by the thickened arm and the lever flange thereof.

Abstract: A vehicle quarter fender (10) is adapted to mount to a vehicle frame (12) through a mounting rod (14) secured to the frame (12) and comprises an arcuate panel (16), a rigidifying bracket (18) and a mounting tube (20). The rigidifying bracket (18) is formed integral with the panel (16), extends along the full width of the panel (16), along a bottom side (44) thereof, and provides the panel (16) with stability along longitudinal, transverse and diagonal axes of the same. The mounting tube (20) is formed integral with a top inside portion (48) of the panel (16) and is adapted to slidably and securely engage the mounting rod (14) to mount the fender (10) to the frame (12).

Abstract: A vehicle quarter fender (10) is adapted to mount to a vehicle frame (12) through a mounting rod (14) rigidly secured to the frame (12). The fender (10) comprises an arcuate panel (16), a rigidifying plate (18) and a mounting tube (19) formed integral with the plate (18). The rigidifying plate (18) is mounted to the panel (16), along substantially the full width of a bottom surface (62) thereof, such that the tube (19) is co-extensive with and extends inwardly and laterally of an inside portion (56) of the panel (16). The plate (18) provides the fender (10) with stability along longitudinal, transverse, and diagonal axes of the fender (10). The mounting tube (19) is adapted to slidably and securely engage the mounting rod (14) to mount the fender (10) to the frame (12).

Abstract: A mudflap assembly (10) mounts a mudflap (14) onto a vehicle frame. The mudflap assembly (10) includes a downwardly extending mudflap. The mudflap (14) is suspended from a support bar (16) and provides spray suppression. A bracket member (18) secures the mudflap (14) to the support bar (16). The bracket member (18) has an end flap (22) which extends downwardly from the bracket member (18) to conceal an outer end of the support bar (16) from view. The bracket member (18) can also include a crimped portion (23) at an inner end thereof for limiting vertical movement of the bracket member (18) relative to the support bar (16).

Abstract: A quarter fender 12 is mounted to a vehicle frame 14 by a mounting assembly 10. The fender 12 includes a pair of downwardly depending flanges 22 extending along longitudinal sides 20 thereof. A mounting rod 16 is secured to and positioned transversely of the longitudinal axis of the frame 14. The mounting assembly 10 comprises an L-shaped saddle 42 securely engaging an inside top portion 76 and the inside flange 22 of the fender 12; an L-shaped bracket 44 securely engaging substantially the full width of a bottom portion 78 and the inside flange 22 of the fender 12; a seat 50 secured to the saddle 42 and positioned along a transverse axis of the fender 12; and amounting tube 46 secured within the seat and an inner end 75 of which slidably and securely engages the mounting rod 16.
