Abstract: A trailer fairing bracket for mounting an aerodynamic side fairing to a cargo trailer includes a support strut having a main body. An outwardly extending clamping wedge portion extends generally perpendicular to the main body. The main body is configured to support a trailer side fairing. The main body includes an elongated center portion having first and second ends, a central axis extending between the first and second ends, a lower skirt-mounting portion proximate the first end and extending perpendicular to the central axis, and an upper skirt-mounting portion disposed at the second end extending perpendicular to the central axis. The support strut is of a single molded piece construction. A pair of side clamping members cooperate with the clamping wedge portion of the support strut for securing the support strut to a cargo trailer.

Abstract: An aerodynamic mud flap includes a body having a first lateral side, an opposite second lateral side, an upper end, an opposite lower end, a front face, and an opposite rear face. The body extends in a horizontal, vertical, and transverse directions. The body has a generally planar upper portion extending vertically from the upper end to a horizontal transition line, and an arcuate lower portion extending vertically from the transition line to the lower end. The lower portion is curved along the vertical direction such that the lower end of the body is offset from the upper end in the transverse direction and is disposed rearward of the upper end. A plurality of octagonal openings in the body extend from the front face to the rear face to allow for air flow through the mud flap from the front side to the rear side.

Abstract: A clamp assembly is provided for securing a panel or fairing to an I-beam, and comprises a pair of side blocks and a clamping block, together with a single bolt to secure them in place. Each of the side blocks as an inclined wedge surface, and the T-shaped clamping block has similarly sloped wedge surfaces along the sides of the leg of the T. When a bolt this passed through side legs of the side blocks, and through or under the clamping block, a sliding and wedging action between the inclined and sloped wedge surfaces occurs. Moreover, a clamping action between the top surface of the clamping block and the lower surface of the lower flanges of the I-beam is also induced.
