ABSTRACT:
A mud-flap supporting assembly is provided that allows pivotal movement of a mud flap mounting arm about a vertical axis adjacent to the vehicle to which the arm is mounted, but prevents movement of the arm in a vertical direction. A vertical pin passes through an arm portion and a support portion to define the vertical axis about which the mounting arm is pivoted, and a spring is operatively connected between the arm and arm portion for centering the arm so that it is normally in intermediate position but may pivot against the spring bias about the vertical axis out of the intermediate position yet will be automatically returned by the spring to the intermediate position. The arm may be mounted so that it is horizontally movable with respect to the arm portion; or the arm and arm portion may be fixed together and a pair of pivotal levers mounted to the arm portion which are engaged by the spring.
