Claim 1
Independent Claim
225 words
In combination a windshield comprising a sheet of transparent material of predetermined shape and size having at least two apertures therethrough in spaced relation and a plurality of fastening means corresponding to the number of said apertures, to be inserted through said apertures, each fastening means comprising extension means of predetermined length, clamp means secured to one end thereof, and windshield securing means to the other end thereof, said windshield securing means comprising a shoulder formation disposed generally at right angles to and proximate one end of, said extension means, and of greater crosssectional area than the cross-sectional area of said extension means proximate said shoulder formation, and against which shoulder formation said shield abuts when said shield is secured to the end of said extension means, and means at the end of said extension means to secure said shield in contact with said shoulder formation and maintain it generally upright a predetermined distance from said clamp means, said extension means and said shoulder formation being integrally formed, said clamp means comprising a single length of material joined at the ends thereof by means secured through aligned apertures disposed proximate said ends to tighten said clamp means about the surface of a handle-bar and to secure it thereto, whereby said extension means is distinct from said means secured through said apertures disposed proximate said ends.
