Abstract

A rectifying device includes a rectifying member that is provided on a rear side of a vehicle with respect to a constituent member of a suspension device to extend substantially along a vehicle width direction and project downward. The constituent member of the suspension device is disposed to at least partly project from an underside part of a vehicle body and has a lower end disposed to be inclined in a front view of the vehicle. A lower edge of the rectifying member projects downward beyond the constituent member, and is inclined in a same direction as the lower end of the constituent member in the front view of the vehicle.

Claims (17)

1. A rectifying device, comprising:

a rectifying member on a rear side of a vehicle with respect to a constituent member of a suspension device to extend along a plane parallel to a vertical direction and a vehicle width direction, and the rectifying member projects downward in the vertical direction, the constituent member of the suspension device at least partly projects from an underside part of a vehicle body, the constituent member having a lower end which is inclined in a front view of the vehicle,

wherein a lower edge of the rectifying member projects downward beyond the constituent member, the lower edge is inclined in a same direction as the lower end of the constituent member in the front view of the vehicle and a side edge of the rectifying member on an outer side in the vehicle width direction is adjacent to a side surface part of a rear wheel on an inner side in the vehicle width direction, and

wherein the constituent member of the suspension device is a lower link of a rear suspension device that supports rear wheels.

2. The rectifying device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the lower edge of the rectifying member is inclined to be parallel to the lower end of the lower link in the front view of the vehicle.

3. The rectifying device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the rectifying member is fixed to the vehicle body on the rear side of the vehicle with respect to the suspension device, and

wherein the lower edge of the rectifying member projects downward beyond the lower end of the constituent member when the vehicle has a vehicle height in normal travel.

4. The rectifying device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the rectifying member is fixed to the vehicle body on the rear side of the vehicle with respect to the suspension device, and

wherein the lower edge of the rectifying member projects downward beyond the lower end of the constituent member when the vehicle has a vehicle height in normal travel.

5. A rectifying device, comprising:

a rectifying member on a rear side of a vehicle with respect to a constituent member of a suspension device to extend along a vehicle width direction and project downward, the constituent member of the suspension device at least partly projects from an underside part of a vehicle body, the constituent member having a lower end which is inclined in a front view of the vehicle,

wherein a lower edge of the rectifying member projects downward beyond the constituent member when the vehicle has a vehicle height in normal travel, the lower edge is inclined in a same direction as the lower end of the constituent member in the front view of the vehicle,

wherein the constituent member of the suspension device is a lower link of a rear suspension device that supports rear wheels, and

wherein the rectifying member is fixed to the vehicle body on the rear side of the vehicle with respect to the suspension device.
