SIDE SPLASH GUARD FOR TRAILER TRUCKS AND WHEELS OF A ROAD VEHICLE

摘要

A side splash guard for the wheels of a road vehicle to prevent transverse splashing from the wheels from contacting vehicles in adjacent lanes and interferring with their vision. The splash guards are normally incased in housings on the side of the vehicle and consist of rigid panels which are lowered from the housing to a position closely adjacent the side of the wheels while the vehicle is moving along the highway. When tight turns are required the panels are raised upwardly into the housing so as to clear the wheels during tight turns.
