Abstract: A fender for a wheel or a set of wheels for one side of an automotive vehicle, for controlling the wet weather spray and splash generated thereby when travelling on a roadway surface. The fender comprises a formed, rigid sheet mounted over and covering the wheels or set of wheels and downwardly curves at its forward and rearward ends. A removably downwardly depending skirt extends along the edges of the sheet. One or more air intake apertures in a forward, curved end of the sheet directs air from outside the fender to inside the fender and over the wheel or set of wheels covered thereby during forward movement of the vehicle. A spray shield in sheet form is adapted to be disposed above the roadway surface vertically depending form the rear of the rigid sheet and is spaced rearwardly from the vehicle wheel or wheels in a plane extending transversely to the vehicle.

Abstract: A spray shield and system for controlling the spray generated by the wheels of automotive vehicles when travelling on a roadway surface. The shield is adapted to be disposed above the roadway surface vertically depending from the vehicle and spaced rearwardly from a vehicle wheel in a plane extending transversely to the vehicle. The shield is in sheet form and has front and rear surfaces and top and side borders. A plurality of downwardly depending, contiguous flaps extend, when the shield is in position on the vehicle, horizontally between the side borders, the flaps to permit flow of air and spray through the shield and cause downward deflection thereof. A pair of air deflection surfaces, to be vertically oriented during operation, one extending outwardly along each of the side borders and each angled with respect to the front surface of the spray shield are provided to deflect air and spray laterally, from one side of the shield to the other.
