Abstract
The disclosure provided herein is directed to a wind deflector that provides a lift and subsequent deflection of naturally occurring wind. The wind deflector has a shield assembly that is connected to a mount assembly. The mount assembly is configured to be biased to a closed position that holds the shield assembly at a desired angle of deflection and to break away when physical force is applied against the bias of the mount assembly.
Claims16
A wind deflector comprising:
- a shield assembly connected to a mount assembly;
- and
- wherein the mount assembly is configured to maintain the shield assembly substantially statically at a desired angle of deflection in relation to a surface when the mounting assembly is in a closed position such that a lift is provided to wind encountered by the shield assembly.
A wind deflector comprising:
- a shield assembly connected to a mount assembly;
- a skirt assembly connected to the mount assembly;
- the mount assembly having a hinge with a first plate and a second plate;
- a shield of the shield assembly connected to the first plate;
- a mount member of the mounting assembly connected to the second plate;
- a stop that extends from the first plate, wherein the stop is configured to prevent the hinge from closing beyond a desired angle of deflection;
- wherein the shield assembly is configured to maintain the shield assembly substantially statically at a desired angle of deflection in relation to a surface when the mounting assembly is in a closed position and to break away when physical force is applied to the shield assembly against a bias of the mount assembly.
