<p>A splash guard for a vehicle comprises a generally rectangular sheet of material adapted for mounting adjacent its top edge on a vehicle behind a wheel of the vehicle so that one face of the sheet is presented to the wheel. At least one continuous, upstanding transverse rib is formed on the face of the sheet presented to the vehicle wheel. The rib extends diagonally across the sheet and is preferably curved along its length, having a curvature that decreases from the upper end of the transverse rib to the lower end. An upstanding longitudinal rib is also formed on the face of the sheet presented to the wheel and extends along the side of the sheet adjacent the end of the transverse rib which has the greater curvature. The sheet is mounted on a vehicle so that the longitudinal rib is located on the outermost side of the sheet relative to the vehicle.</p> |
