Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rectifying device includes: at least one front rectifying member that is disposed adjacent to projecting components on a rear side of a vehicle with respect to the projecting components to extend substantially along a vehicle width direction and project downward; and a rear rectifying member that is disposed at a center in the vehicle width direction on the rear side of the vehicle with respect to the front rectifying member to extend substantially along the vehicle width direction and project downward. The projecting components are disposed to at least partly project from an underside part of a vehicle body and provided as a pair apart from each other in the vehicle width direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A rectifying device, comprising: at least one front rectifying member adjacent to projecting components on a rear side of a vehicle, wherein the at least one front rectifying member extends substantially along a vehicle width direction and projects downward, wherein the projecting components at least partly project from an underside part of a vehicle body, and wherein the projecting components comprise a first projecting component and a second projecting component as a pair, wherein the first projecting component is at a determined distance from the second projecting component in the vehicle width direction; and a rear rectifying member at a center of the rear side of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction, with respect to the at least one front rectifying member, wherein the rear rectifying member extends substantially along the vehicle width direction and projects downward, wherein the rear rectifying member is adjacent to a first portion where turbulence that is separated from an underside of the vehicle body at the front rectifying member is reattached to the vehicle body or is adjacent to a second portion in front of the first portion, wherein the at least one front rectifying member comprises a plurality of front rectifying members provided as a left-and-right pair with an interval between the plurality of front rectifying members, wherein the interval between the plurality of front rectifying members is at the center in the vehicle width direction, and wherein the rear rectifying member is behind the interval. 2. The rectifying device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first projecting component and the second projecting component is a lower link of a rear suspension device that supports rear wheels. 3. The rectifying device according to claim 2 , wherein a lower edge of the at least one front rectifying member is inclined such that the lower edge is substantially parallel to a lower end of the lower link in a front view of the vehicle. 4. The rectifying device according to claim 2 , wherein a side edge of the at least one front rectifying member is substantially at a first position in the vehicle width direction, wherein the first position corresponds to a first end of the lower link. 5. The rectifying device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first projecting component and the second projecting component is a lower link of a rear suspension device that supports rear wheels. 6. The rectifying device according to claim 5 , wherein a lower edge of the at least one front rectifying member is inclined such that the lower edge is substantially parallel to a lower end of the lower link in a front view of the vehicle. 7. The rectifying device according to claim 5 , wherein a side edge of the at least one front rectifying member is substantially at a first position in the vehicle width direction, wherein the first position corresponds to a first end of the lower link.
