Abstract
A winding unit, which winds a skirt for blocking inflow of a headwind generated when a vehicle travels, includes an actuator which generates power, a roller which is coupled to the skirt and winds the skirt, a holder coupled to an end portion of the skirt, and a driving link which connects the holder and the actuator and moves the holder using the power generated by the actuator. The winding unit may be improved so that an air skirt apparatus does not require additional operation space in a width direction.
