The invention refers to mud flaps for

Although much of the dirt or the like thrown off the wheels of a motor vehicle is off the fenders, respectively, the built-in edge, trapped v / ird, occurs when driving to the rear, respectively. dirt thrown aside very quick soiling of the sides of the vehicle on.

Another UbSl is visual obstruction and pollution following vehicles.

It is well known that the majority of motor vehicles are equipped with additional, Mud flaps attached behind the wheels made of a flat, rectangular, mostly flexible material and shield the wheels until just above the bed. Mainly at high speeds, the Head wind on the mud flaps creates a strong air congestion. This air cushion causes the wheels of a motor vehicle Smallest water or dirt particles thrown off on the air cushion before they reach the dirt trap separation surface are diverted and swirled, so that a separation of the dirt by the dirt trap is not achieved - or only incompletely will. The micro-water or the whirled up by the air cushion. Gchnutzichlen kick, yourself with side-protected mud flaps, over them and Depending on the size and wind conditions, there will be longer time I weave capable.

The load on the protective wheels of the following vehicles through the finely atomized Sci.r.utz (dirty water) is so big, that even the best windshield wipers and washing systems are overwhelmed.

The resulting obstructed view, which is caused by Dunk and exposure to light additionally through a reflection of the atomized particles are amplified, represents an increased risk of accidents.

I purpose of the present invention, this unpleasant loading) skid phenomena remedy and to provide means which prevents] ■ such pollution, BEZW. considerably reduces. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a double-acting separation device. · ■

Some exemplary embodiments are illustrated in the drawing. !

As can be seen from Figure 1, the device consists essentially of two components. A front and main dirt trap ·. The pre-dirt trap is designed in such a way that the water and dirt particles loaded air flow on several flutes arranged at an angle to the flow direction (made of optionally flexible material) rebounds, with the water and dirt particles removed without significant obstruction of the air flow, respectively. in more compact Form, collected by the downstream main dirt trap and diverted downwards.

The main dirt trap optionally consists of a rectangular piece flexible material and is on the side edges, to protect against trespassing dirt and to stabilize, designed with an angled double dirt trap edge *

Optionally, on the lower part of the main dirt trap as shown in the illustration 2 an attached scraper device is attached. This consists of a number of surfaces arranged at an angle to the direction of flow, through which the water and dirt Particle-laden air flow is passed through from top to bottom, so that the dirt accumulates and discharged in a compact form will.

According to Figures 3 and 4, the pre-dirt trap can optionally be selected consist of a perforated or mesh-like wiper device.

To achieve esnes optimal separation effect, respectively. one Concentration of the fine floating water and dirt particles can also bezw within the fender pre-separator. Earth scraper devices attached.

Claims (1)

Protection claims 1 · Mud flaps for motor vehicles, characterized in that that on the main dirt traps a scraper device is preferably made of flexible Kunststeffen so that the loaded with finely distributed water and dirt particles Air flow without significant obstruction of the air flow, is passed through so that a concentration, respectively. a compact protection attack is achieved, which is provided by döm Main dirt trap is caught and drained downwards. Mud flaps for motor vehicles according to Claim 1, characterized in that that on the main dirt trap, the side edges are crimped so that a double-acting dirt trap edge arises that a sideways crossing of the dirt or the like, even with sloping]? Suspension and heavy load, prevented. 5 »Mud flaps for motor vehicles according to claim 1, characterized characterized in that the pre-separator used according to the invention BEZW. Scraper devices, optionally a perforated, mesh sieve, or bully-like shape. 4. Mud flaps for motor vehicles according to claim 1, characterized in that the pre-separator used according to the invention beaw. Scraper devices can also be attached inside the fenders, so that an optimal separation effect, respectively a concentration of fine suspended water and dirt particles is achieved.
