Abstract:
An air channeler device for use with a body having a forward and rearward end that locates within an air stream for reducing wind resistance of the body, the device comprising:an air inlet for positioning within an air stream surrounding the body so that air is received in the inlet as the air stream moves about the body; an air discharge for positioning at a generally central location of the rearward end of the body and having a width that is substantially less than the width of the rearward end of the body so that the air discharge is spaced inward from the edges of the rearward end; and an air conduit that couples to the body and has a generally tubular passageway that is in communication between the air inlet and the air discharge for directing air from the air inlet through the conduit to the discharge, the air conduit being formed in at least two sections that are releasably joined together so that the at least two sections can be engaged and disengaged from one another.
