Claim 0:
1. A skirt assembly adapted for use on a motor vehicle, said skirt assembly comprising:
a. a first panel, said first panel having a first panel proximal end and a first panel distal end spaced apart from the first panel proximal end, and said first panel proximal end being pivotally attached to the motor vehicle;
b. a second panel, said second panel having a second panel proximal end and a second panel distal end spaced apart from the second panel proximal end, and said second panel proximal end being pivotally attached to the first panel distal end;
c. a first rod, said first rod having a first rod lateral end and a first rod medial end spaced apart from the first rod lateral end, and said first rod lateral end being pivotally attached to the first panel between the first panel proximal end and the first panel distal end;
d. a second rod, said second rod having a second rod lateral end and a second rod medial end spaced apart from the second rod lateral end, and said second rod lateral end being pivotally attached to the second panel between the second panel proximal end and the second panel distal end;
e. a first actuator, said first actuator having a first actuator proximal end and a first actuator distal end spaced apart from the first actuator proximal end, and said first actuator proximal end being pivotally attached to the motor vehicle, and said first actuator distal end being pivotally attached to the first panel distal end and the second panel proximal end;
wherein the first actuator is adapted to move between a retracted position and an extended position; and wherein the skirt assembly is adapted to be moved between an open position and a closed position when the first actuator moves between the extended position and the retracted position.
