The truck bug deflector is a structure that is adapted for use with vehicles. The truck bug deflector comprises a primary shield and an auxiliary shield. The truck bug deflector is a structure that is attached to the front of a vehicle to protect the vehicle from damage caused by insects and debris that would otherwise hit the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. The primary shield is adapted to be mounted on the grill guard of a vehicle and is designed to deflect insects and debris both away from the vehicle and away from the windshield of the vehicle. The auxiliary shield is adapted to be mounted to the grill guard of the vehicle and is designed to protect the lower portions of the vehicle from insects and debris.

An ornamental grille arranged for attachment to a peripheral frame of a motor vehicle radiator grille includes a grille structure having respective grille elements. Domes are formed on points of intersection of the grille elements of the grille structure.

A safety guard for a vehicle, such as a school or transit bus, includes a skirt extending below a side body portion of the vehicle and between front and rear wheels along a side of the vehicle. The skirt functions to push individuals and other animate objects out of the path of the wheels for safety purposes, while being mounted for separate linear and arcuate movements relative to the body of the vehicle to protect the guard from damage upon abutting an inanimate object during operation of the vehicle.

A magnetic vehicle tire protector, for picking up magnetically attractable road hazard elements, by including a substantially parallelepiped magnetic body attached to a vehicle underside in front of each tire. A bottom side of each magnetic body has a width at least approximately equal to a width of a treaded surface of the tire. A substantially parallelepiped bracket, disposed on a top side of each magnetic body, has parallel internal and external sections and a parallelepiped center section therebetween at a 45-degree angle relative the internal section. The internal section is more proximal the top side than the internal section. The center and external sections extend outwardly from the internal section and the top side. Fasteners on the internal section permanently affix the bracket to the top side. Round apertures on the external section receive fastening elements to affix the respective bracket and magnetic body to the vehicle underside.

A fluid connector for connecting fluid conduit to a component in the presence of an electrolyte solution includes a connector body and sacrificial anode. The connector body defines an internal recess. The sacrificial anode can be press-fitted into the internal recess and circumscribed by the connector body. The sacrificial anode, which is constructed of a material that is configured to be consumed over a life of the component to prevent or delay corrosion of the connector body due to contact with the electrolyte solution, may be constructed of aluminum, magnesium, zinc, or other active metals. A fluid system for use in the presence of the electrolyte solution includes the component, fluid conduit, a pump, and the fluid connector. A vehicle includes the fluid system and a vehicle body. The component may be a steering gear assembly in some embodiments.
