First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A dump body comprising: a side plate; a flow path which is provided in the side plate and through which an exhaust gas of an engine flows; an exhaust port for discharging exhaust gas from the flow path which is provided in an outer surface of the side plate; and a guide surface which has a first inner end portion and a first outer end portion and is inclined downward toward the first outer end portion, the first inner end portion being connected to an outer surface of the side plate below the exhaust port; whereby liquid dripped from the exhaust port to the first inner end portion of the guide surface flows to the first outer end portion while being guided by the guide surface by an action of gravity. 2. The dump body according to claim 1 , further comprising an opposing surface which has a first front end portion and a first rear end portion and opposes an exhaust port, the first front end portion being connected to an outer surface of the side plate in front of the exhaust port, the first rear end portion being away from the outer surface of the side plate. 3. The dump body according to claim 2 , wherein the first outer end portion of the guide surface and a lower end portion of the opposing surface are connected to each other. 4. The dump body according to claim 1 , further comprising an upper surface which has a second inner end portion and a second outer end portion and is inclined downward toward the second outer end portion, the second inner end portion being connected to an outer surface of the side plate above the exhaust port. 5. The dump body according to claim 1 , further comprising a flow regulation surface which has a second front end portion and a second rear end portion and is inclined to be away from the outer surface of the side plate toward the second rear end portion, the second front end portion being connected to an outer surface of the side plate at rear of the exhaust port. 6. A dump truck comprising: the dump body according to claim 1 ; and a vehicle body supporting the dump body.
