Abstract: A splash flap, particularly for trucks, of the kind including one or more splash flap parts for mounting internally in a curved mudguard (2), and a splash flap (6)for mounting on a mudguard part (4) depending from a lower rearmost edge part of the mudguard (2). The splash flap parts (6 and 18) include at least one spray reducing and liquid impeding means for decelerating and retaining water sprayed up from the wheels and for counteracting formation of a water mist from the splash flap and conducting retained water down from the splash flap. The splash flap parts (6 and 18) include mutually complementing coupling parts such that the at least one spray reducing and/or decelerating means of respective splash flap parts (6 and 18) is operatively coupled together without visible joints to form a unbroken interacting splash flap surface.

Abstract: For covering hitch balls on the hitch systems of cars a loose covering hood is usually placed over the hitch ball which may easily be lost if it is loose, or create a noise if it is suspended in a chain, when the ball is being used. To avoid these problems, two semi-spherical shells are pivotally fastened to the hitch rod right below the hitch ball, such that they are pivotal from a covering position closed about the hitch ball to opposite projecting positions, in which the hitch ball is uncovered. On already existing hitch systems the shells are easily mountable by a simple clamp fitting, which is even well suited to be fixed on a conical hitch ball rod.
