Patent ID: 6974175

Claim:
A readily removable windshield assembly for a motorcycle or the like, comprising, in combination, a shield element having a portion capable of being seen through, a pair of brackets affixed to said shield, each of said brackets, in position of use, including a first slot near the bottom thereof and facing in a first direction and a second slot having an opening facing in a second direction, said second slot having first and second edges substantially parallel to each other, one of said edges having a slight projection extending toward the other edge, and two pairs of docking points fixed in relation to said motorcycle or the like, each pair comprising a first element sized to fit snugly within said first slot, and a second element including a flanged member having axially inner and outer flanges surrounding a central trough for mating with said second slot, and a stiff but flexible annular portion lying radially inside said trough said first element being positionable within said first slot and said flanged member being insertable snugly into said second slot, so that when said brackets are moved toward a fastened position, said movement causes said stiff but flexible portions of said flanged members to deflect in response to contact of said flanged members with said projections and then move into a strongly retained position of said shield.
