Abstract: This invention relates to spray-inhibiting means for use on a road vehicle, said means comprising a screen which is arranged to intercept water thrown rearwardly from a vehicle wheel behind which in use the screen would be mounted. The screen (13 or 14) incorporates a hollow portion (15 or 31 or 38 or 44 or 47) together with means (18a or 33 or 34 or 41 or 43 or 54) for intercepting and collecting water which in use will be thrown against and into the hollow portion, together with baffle means (18 or 32 or 40 or 53) which are disposed within the hollow portion, the latter being also provided with an inlet 23 and an outlet 20.

Abstract: This invention relates to spray-inhibiting means for a road vehicle, said means comprising a screen which in use is adapted to intercept water thrown rearwardly from a vehicle tire. The screen is mounted on the vehicle in use in an operative position in which its lower edge lies closely adjacent to the road surface behind the associated vehicle tire and the means for mounting the screen are arranged to maintain it in its operative position irrespective of the vertical position of the load carrying part of the vehicle (e.g. load supporting platform or body) relative to the road surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to spray-inhibiting screen (such as 15) for use on a road vehicle, which is adapted in use to be mounted rearwardly of and adjacent to a vehicle tire so that in wet conditions the screen will intercept spray and water thrown rearwardly by the tire, there also being provided a conduit (24) for collecting such water intercepted by the screen, and an outlet (25) for discharging the collected water from the vehicle at such a velocity relative to the vehicle velocity that water deposited by the discharging outlet (25) on to the road surface will have no or only a low velocity in a horizontal direction relative to the road surface itself.
