ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to spray-inhibiting means for use on a road vehicle, said means comprising a screen which is arranged to intercept water thrown rearwardly from a vehicle wheel behind which in use the screen would be mounted. The screen (13 or 14) incorporates a hollow portion (15 or 31 or 38 or 44 or 47) together with means (18a or 33 or 34 or 41 or 43 or 54) for intercepting and collecting water which in use will be thrown against and into the hollow portion, together with baffle means (18 or 32 or 40 or 53) which are disposed within the hollow portion, the latter being also provided with an inlet 23 and an outlet 20. The baffle means and the inlet and outlet are so constructed that when in use the associated vehicle is traveling along a road surface in wet conditions spray will be thrown rearwardly from a vehicle wheel so as to enter the interior of said hollow portion which will act to extract water from the spray and discharge it horizontally rearwardly from the outlet so that the water moves forwardly, relative to the road surface, at a velocity less than that of the moving vehicle to thereby reduce spray formed by the discharged water as it engages the road surface.
