Abstract
A dust reduction device for a vehicle includes an inlet aperture for receiving airflow created as a result of forward movement of the vehicle. The dust reduction device provides a primary airflow path leading from the inlet aperture to a vehicle opening, and a secondary airflow path leading from the inlet aperture to a ventilation exit. During forward movement of the vehicle, the primary airflow path is substantially blocked by airflow from the secondary airflow path such that airflow from the primary airflow path is provided to the vehicle opening and into the vehicle thereby minimising dust ingress in the vehicle.
Claims17
A dust reduction device for a vehicle including:
- an inlet aperture for receiving airflow created as a result of forward movement of the vehicle;
- a primary airflow path leading from said inlet aperture to a vehicle opening;
- and
- a secondary airflow path leading from said inlet aperture to a ventilation exit,
- wherein, during said forward movement of said vehicle, said primary airflow path is substantially blocked by airflow from said secondary airflow path such that airflow from said primary airflow path flows into said vehicle opening and into said vehicle thereby minimising dust ingress in said vehicle.
