Definitions
- the invention relates to a fender for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- this motorcycles larger design in addition to the actual fender additional attachments and fixed luggage systems, such as side cases or bags, have, which greatly restrict the accessibility of the rear wheel in particular.
- the luggage system In order to be able to remove the rear wheel in these cases, either the luggage system must first be removed at least on one side or the entire, the rear wheel covering fenders are dismantled, such disassembly of the fender is particularly complex and time consuming.
- complexity increases in the event that electronic components such as license plate lighting or vehicle lighting are integrated in the fender and accordingly an additional cable connection must be dismantled.
- To simplify dismantling already hinged fenders or license plate carrier are known, which can be folded up if necessary, and thus provide, inter alia, improved accessibility without having to disassemble the fender in whole or in part.
- Such hinged fenders are typically made of metallic material to have sufficient strength to support a heavy hinge, which is usually formed by a sufficiently strong steel axle. This extends transversely to the vehicle longitudinal axis from one side of the fender to the opposite other side of the fender. As a result, on the one hand its aerodynamic shape but also its design is greatly affected. In addition, a production of these hinged fender arrangements designed in terms of material, cost and weight consuming.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a fender arrangement, which on the one hand allows easy accessibility and mountability of the associated vehicle wheel, but on the other hand, allows a compact and lightweight construction possible.
- Fig. 4 the fender according to FIG. 3 in the open position
- the fender 20 may include a locking device 25 for locking the second fender portion 22 with respect to the first fender portion 21.
- the illustrated locking device 25 comprises two further screws, which connect the second fender section 22 in the operating position with the first fender section 21. In the illustrated operating position, the second fender section 22 also represents a continuous continuation of the first fender section 21.
