摘要: A wedge-shaped hollow canopy (1) is mounted as an aerodynamic deflector and sun shield over the cab roof of a commercial vehicle to control air flow (4) loads variable height. The hinged (3) at its front edge supported any desired angle (5) by pair hydraulic struts (2), controlled ground level pumps (6). space under usable accommodation, since projects into shell.
