Abstract
A device for covering an objected which is transported in an air stream is provided including a cover which at least partially traverses the object. An exhaust aperture is formed in the cover. A pressure differential device is disposed on the cover adjacent the exhaust aperture. The pressure differential device is configured to create a pressure differential between air under the cover and air passing over or around the cover. The pressure differential device is movable between a plurality of positions relative to the cover.
Claims22
A device for covering an object which is transported in an air stream, comprising:
- a cover which at least partially traverses the object;
- an exhaust aperture formed in the cover;
- and
- a pressure differential device disposed on the cover adjacent the exhaust aperture, the pressure differential device being configured to create a pressure differential between air under the cover and air passing over or around the cover, the pressure differential device being movable between a plurality of positions relative to the cover.
A method for transporting an object on a vehicle travelling in an airstream, comprising:
- providing the object to be transported by the vehicle;
- securing a cover to said object, said cover including:
- at least one exhaust aperture;
- and
- at least one pressure differential device disposed adjacent said at least one exhaust aperture;
- adjusting a position of said at least one pressure differential device to a position perpendicular to an airflow;
- transporting the vehicle with said covered object;
- creating said airflow over said cover and said at least one pressure differential device via said transporting;
- and
- creating negative air pressure at said at least one pressure differential device to cause air to exhaust from an interior of said cover.
