REDUCED AERODYNAMIC DRAG TRUCK GATE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004087449
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A reduced-drag gate includes an interior surface and an exterior surface, both of which are affixed to a frame assembly. A pivot assembly allows the reduced-drag gate to pivot about a fixed pivot point of a truck. One or more closable passages, which connect the interior surface to the exterior surface, allow for the passage of air from the area proximate the interior surface to the area proximate the exterior surface. Each closable passage includes an airflow gate assembly, positioned between the interior surface and the exterior surface, that allows for the opening and closing of the closable passage.
