Spray deflectors for vehicles.

摘要

Apparatus for reducing the production of water spray by a wheel (14) of a motor vehicle comprises a deflector plate (40) located in front of the wheel and extending horizontally in a transverse direction over a width greater than that of the tyre carried by the wheel (14) while sloping in the longitudinal direction from a forward end above the top of the wheel (14), downwardly and rearwardly to a location in proximity to the front edge of the wheel (14). The deflector plate (40) serves to separate the flow of air towards the front edge of the wheel (14) from drops of water lifted upwardly by the rear edge of the wheel (14).
