Abstract: The invention relates to an insulating curtain consisting of an inflatable element (1) which in an inflated condition is intended to cover a surface area and in a deflated condition to be stored adjacent said area. The inflatable element comprises airtight portions (9,11) and means which are adapted for filling these portions, the inflatable element thereby being fed out from the store (3). The airtight portions comprise at least one central (9) and at least one peripheral (11) airtight portion and the central portion is substantially airtightly compressible between two compression members (2), along at least a portion of its width, whereby the compressed area will define an inflatable part and a substantially deflated part of the inflatable element. Air ducts (6,7) are disposed within the element and are not compressed by the compression means for enabling the air supply to the airtight portions. Feeding the inflatable element from the store (3) is done by supplying air to the central portion (9).

Abstract: An assembly intended to eliminate the turbulence and pressure rise occurring inside a mudguard (1) due to the effect of the airflow, caused by the motion of the vehicle, passing over the inside of the mudguard and meeting the counter-directed airstream caused by rotation of the wheel (2) and the splash formed thereby. By introducing guide means (3,4) between wheel (2) and mudguard (1), these streams of air can be mutually separated and the wheel airstream redirected to coincide with the airflow on the inside of the mudguard without pressure rises and consequent turbulence occurring inside the mudguard. The assembly can have one or more vanes (4) or a body (3) forming a portion of a channel (9a,9) for the airflow along the inside of the mudguard and simultaneously redirecting a portion of the wheel airstream.
