  • Portable deflector shields
    Patent number: 4417741
    Abstract: An add-on debris deflector for use on trailers or tractors to meet temporary situations when the trailer or tractor is operated in other than its conventional mode. The deflector is designed for installation on the vehicle without special tools or vehicle modification. It is especially useful on military tractor-trailer systems in which the use of a permanent debris deflector on the trailer might present structural interference between the deflector and a part of the tractor during vehicle turning action.

Each stanchion includes a laterally-extending finger that registers with a slot in the bed wall.
