ABSTRACT:
An air deflector for trailers having a forwardly facing front wall. The air deflector includes a body adapted to extend between the side edges of the trailer front wall and from the top edge thereof to a selected location on the front wall remote from the top edge. The body projects forwardly from the front wall with the forwardly facing surface of the body being generally convex. At least one air vent is located at the bottom margin of the body and is adapted to admit air between the body and the front wall of the trailer. In certain embodiments a resilient recoil rib is attached to the body, extending generally parallel and adjacent to the rearwardly facing surface of the body and between the top and bottom margins of the body. The recoil rib is adapted to increase the body's ability to resist deformation from force applied to the forwardly facing surface of the body and, upon release of such force, to aid the body to resume its original shape.
