Fender to cover the wheel of the vehicle - Stänkskärm 5 för täckande av ett fordonshjul

The invention relates to a mudguard covering a wheel of a vehicle, inside which there is a longitudinally extending chamber 10 with inlet openings in the inner wall facing the wheel of the vehicle for water splashed by the wheel of the vehicle and at least one outlet for water at the bottom.

It is an object of the invention to provide such a mudguard which is simple to manufacture and which directs the water splashed by the vehicle downwards without it being able to drip a considerable part.

To solve this function, the mudguard is characterized in that its inner wall has water guide surfaces facing the wheel of the vehicle, facing each other in the direction of the inlet openings and integrating with each other, which are the interfaces of toothed ribs transverse to the longitudinal direction of the chamber 25.

The very simple, streamlined possibility of manufacturing a fender is characterized in that the chamber 30 is integral with the fender, in particular made of polyethylene or polypropylene.

If the rigidity of the mudguard chamber is not sufficient, it is recommended that the chamber be fitted with stiffeners and / or support movements. Stiffening and / or support spacers can be provided by means of sheet metal parts on the inside of the fender and can be fastened from the outside with 2 97713 wool screws. However, the parts acting as stiffeners and / or support spacers can also be made in one piece as part of the mudguard and / or in the inner wall of the chamber and also in some cases with irradiation parts such as screws or nuts, but they are fixed to the opposite wall.

To direct water all the way down, the chamber preferably extends all the way to the dirt guide 10 connected to the bottom of the fender. In this case, the dirt removal guide is preferably made in one piece with the fender, whereby the cross-section of the dirt removal guide corresponds to the cross-section of the fender.

The water inlet openings are preferably slots extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the chamber.

In this case, the rows running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the chamber always have several slits and, in order to stiffen the chamber, they move row by row towards each other.

The chamber is particularly effective in receiving water splashing from the vehicle Λ wheel if its inner wall has additional inlets in at least one edge region in the overhang zone, which are assigned to the vehicle wheel 5 facing towards each other are slots extending in the longitudinal direction of the chamber and / or have turned in the direction of the water splashed by the wheel of the vehicle.

Inside it there is a chamber 6 extending in its longitudinal direction, in the inner wall 8 facing the wheel of the vehicle there are inlet openings 10 for water splashed by the wheel of the vehicle and at its lower part an outlet opening 12 for water 5. The chamber 6 is made in one piece with the octagener 2 by means of a polyethylene rotary molding method. The fender 2 forms its outer wall.

The chamber 6 extends over a dirt removal guide 14 connected under the fender 2, which in turn is made integrally with the Leena fender and has a cross-section corresponding to that of the fender 2. The resilience of the dirt removal guide 14 with respect to the mudguard 2 is provided in the edge regions 15 made approximately radially in the slots 16 between the mudguard 2 and the edge removal guide 14 of the mudguard 2 and 1.

The inlet openings 10 are made through slots extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the chamber 6.
