ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a universal splash guard deflector for use with a vehicle in the vicinity of the vehicles wheels. The deflector in use is positioned behind a vehicle wheel in respect of the vehicles primary direction of travel. The splash guard deflector is comprised of a planar central portion defined by upper and lower edge regions, as well as inside and outside edge regions. The upper edge region is adapted to be secured to a portion of the vehicle.
A splash deflecting element is integrally secured to the planar central portion along a line equidistant to one of the edge regions. A plurality of openings are disposed along the equidistant line to thereby allow for the passage of air due to vehicle movement in the primary direction of travel. The splash deflecting element is configured such that a semi-fluid medium driven by the vehicle wheel will strike the central planar portion and travel along the planar portion towards the edges and thence be redirected by the splash deflecting element in a downward and forward manner to thereby minimize splashing of the medium outside of a vehicle path defined by the vehicles primary direction of travel.
