Support for a mudguard
The invention relates to an improved support for a mudguard. The support at hand comprises an L-shaped arm ( 1 ) to which an arcuate support ( 2 ) is fastened and the mudguard is connected to the arcuate support ( 2 ); a removable fastening means is provided and makes it possible to fasten the arcuate support ( 2 ) to the arm ( 1 ) in a position chosen from among a plurality of different positions of the support ( 2 ).
1. An improved support for a mudguard, of the type comprising an L-shaped arm ( 1 ) whereto the frame of a farm vehicle is connected at a first end ( 1 a ) thereof and an internal zone of an arcuate support ( 2 ), whereto the mudguard is connected, is fastened at a second end ( 1 b ) thereof, characterized in that it comprises removable fastening means suitable for fastening the arcuate support ( 2 ) to the arm ( 1 ) in a position chosen from among a plurality of different positions on the internal zone of the support ( 2 ), and wherein said removable fastening means comprises: a plate ( 1 c ), tightly fastened to the second end ( 1 b ) of the arm ( 1 ) perpendicularly to the straight section of the arm so as to be arranged vertically, said plate ( 1 c ) being equipped with at least one pair of through holes ( 3 ); a plurality of through holes ( 4 ) arranged horizontally and afforded in different angled positions of the arcuate support ( 2 ); and at least two bolts ( 5 ) that pass through an equal number of said through holes ( 4 ) so as to fasten the arcuate support ( 2 ) to the holes ( 3 ) afforded on the plate ( 1 c ).
2. The support according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises two reinforcing plates ( 6 ) that face each other and are in a vertical position and securely connected to the arcuate support ( 2 ) so as to cover the plurality of through holes ( 4 ); on each one of the reinforcing plates, through holes are afforded coaxial with the plurality of through holes ( 4 ) afforded on the arcuate support ( 2 ).
3. The support according to claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises rectilinear lengths ( 7 ) that are welded inferiorly to the arcuate support ( 2 ) so as to form a polygonal reinforcement structure; at the weld points the lengths ( 7 ) have concavities ( 7 a ) that are filled with the filler material for welding.
4. The support according to claim 1 , characterized in that the width of the arcuate support supporting the mudguard which is intended to overlie the wheel, has a shape that is concentric with the wheel and overlies the wheel with an angle of a magnitude of at least 90°.
