Device for the deflection of the air jet pulse from the air dryer of large truck air brakes

摘要

The air deflection device prevents the development of a cloud of dirt and debris when the air dryer essential to the air brakes of large trucks or other vehicles ejects a high velocity pulse of air from the bottom of the air dryer onto the ground. The air deflection device deflects the pulse of air away from the ground harmlessly toward the engine and transmission of the truck. The air deflection device is designed and configured so as to easily fit and be fastened to the bottom of a truck's air braking system air dryer. The pulse of air from the air dryer is routed through the air deflection device in such a manner as to be harmlessly directed toward the engine and transmission of the large truck.

主权项

1. A device to deflect the air jet pulse from an air dryer of an air braking system, the device comprising:
a flat top surface having an intake port; a flat bottom surface; a channel between the top surface and the bottom surface, the channel having a first end connected to the intake port; a vertical lateral wall between the top surface and the bottom surface, the lateral wall surrounding the channel in its entirety, the lateral wall having an outlet port connected to a second end of the channel; and a means for connecting the device to the air dryer; whereby, the air jet pulse from the air dryer enters the inlet port, travels through the channel and exits the device through the outlet port to be deflected away from the ground.
