Multilayer anti-spray lining fixed with clearance inside vehicle mudguards or wheel arches, has improved draining and high-speed droplet-capture characteristics, resulting in greater spray interception in wettest high speed conditions

摘要

Individual elements (2) reducing water spray, are thread-, band-, and/or rod-shaped. They form one or more flexible layers (3) spaced away from the flat support section. Preferred features: The layer lies generally parallel to the support (1). Individual elements lie transversely or parallel with respect to its extent. Successive layers of a multilayer are offset with respect to each other and partially cross each other at acute angles. Individual elements are slightly curved over their lengths, and are made of solid material and/or twisted and/or spun material. They are fixed to the support (1). Between end fastenings (4) they are fixed at other location(s) with respect to the support. Further variations based on the foregoing principles are described, including suitable attachment methods and dimensions.
