ABSTRACT:
A continuous hinge attached to the windshield of a cycle to permit rotation of the windshield from the upright protective position forward and downward to any selected position permitting partial or complete exposure of the rider to the wind. A pair of elongated plates continuously hinged together along one longitudinal edge conform to the shape of the windshield along the opposite edge. Perpendicular flanges along the conforming edge of the hinge secure the hinge to the windshield which is sandwiched between a backplate and the flanges and is separated therefrom by rubber strips. Rotational position of the windshield is provided by selective matching perforations on end plates secured to the ends of the hinge plates or by a notched slidable curved member from one hinge plate secured by a protruding bolt in the other hinge plate. The continuous hinge may be mounted between sections of a windshield, between a windshield and a fairing, or between a windshield and the fork tubes of a cycle by an instantly removable pin and locking sleeve connection.
