ABSTRACT:
A wind deflector assembly is mounted on a towing vehicle for deflecting the relative wind upwardly about a larger towed vehicle and comprises a deflector plate positioned at an angle inclined upwardly and rearwardly with respect to the normal forward direction of movement of the towing vehicle, and includes a lower leading edge portion extending approximately into the normal forward direction of movement of the towing vehicle and an upper trailing edge portion extending approximately opposite to the normal forward direction of movement of the towing vehicle. Triangular braces are connected to the deflector plate at positions displaced from the ends of the deflector plate, and a tie rod is connected at its end to the triangular braces to prevent the triangular braces from spreading apart. Support feet and straps are connected to the braces for mounting the assembly on the upper surface of the towing vehicle.
