Abstract

Device for adjusting the height as well as the angle of rearward tilt of the windshield of a two-wheeled vehicle, comprising a guide mechanism consisting of generally vertical grooves having a curvature or inclination. Side edges of the windshield engage in these grooves, so that upward or downward movement of the windshield simultaneously produces a change in the angle of tilt, thereby facilitating adjustment of the windshield to the stature and/or position of the rider of the vehicle.

Claims

1. Device for adjusting the windshield of a vehicle comprising left and right rear view mirrors attached to a frame, each of said mirrors having a mirror housing provided with generally vertically extending curved guide groove means engaged by side edges of said windshield, edges of said windshield operatively engaging in said guide groove means for generally vertical up-and-down sliding movement simultaneously producing a change in the angle of tilt of said windshield.

2. Device according to claim 1, wherein said guide grooves have a curvature to permit adjustment of the rearward tilt of said windshield.

3. Device according to claim 1, comprising drive means for electrically adjusting the position of said windshield.
