Patent number: 10399432Abstract: A deflector attachment is adapted to surround an exhaust outlet provided in a dump body of the machine. The deflector attachment includes a plate member having a curved portion. Exhaust gases exiting the exhaust outlet are adapted to first impact the curved portion. The deflector attachment also includes a pair of side plates spaced apart by the plate member. The deflector attachment further includes an inclined deflecting plate extending between the pair of side plates. The plate member, the pair of side plates, and the inclined deflecting plate define a flow passage for smoothly diverting the exhaust gases exiting the exhaust outlet towards a central portion of the dump body.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventor: Sharath Kesani
