Truck wheel turbulence shield

摘要

A turbulence shield for attachment to a truck wheel having a laterally outer edge about a laterally opening concavity, and having an annular channel which opens radially inwardly at the laterally outer edge, the turbulence shield having a first annularly extending “C” member opening radially inwardly and fitted for nesting receipt within the annular channel; a second annularly extending “C” member opening radially inwardly and nestingly received within the first “C” member's channel, the second annularly extending “C” member having arms; a hoop member nesting within the second “C” member; a circular flexible sheet; and an integral joint interconnecting the sheet's edge and a second “C” member's arm so that, upon nesting the first “C” member within the wheel's annular channel, the sheet covers the wheel's laterally opening concavity.

1. A turbulence shield for attachment to a truck wheel, the truck wheel having a laterally outer edge extending about a laterally opening concavity, and the truck wheel having an annular channel opening radially inwardly and positioned at the laterally outer edge, the turbulence shield comprising:
(a) a first annularly extending “C” member having a radially inwardly opening channel, said member being fitted for nesting receipt within the truck wheel's annular channel; (b) a second annularly extending “C” member having a radially inwardly opening channel, said member being nestingly received within the first annularly extending “C” member's channel, the second annularly extending “C” member comprising a pair of radially inwardly extending arms; (c) an annularly extending bar nestingly received within the second annularly extending “C” member's channel; (d) a flexible sheet having a radially outer edge; and (e) first fastening means interconnecting the flexible sheet's radially outer edge and one of the arms among the second “C” channel member's pair of radially extending arms, said interconnection positioning the flexible sheet for, upon the nesting receipt of the first annularly extending “C” member within the truck wheel's annular channel, covering the truck wheel's laterally opening concavity.
