The arrangement is illustrated in Fig. 1, which shows a complete suction and collecting apparatus fitted to one wheel. In some cases, however, a common suction apparatus and collecting-chamber may be connected to the suction mouths of all the wheels. The dust is drawn through a suction mouth 4, of rectangular, pear-shaped, or U-shaped cross-section, by means of a fan 2 driven from the vehicle wheel or from the motor, or by the current of air produced by the movement of the vehicle, and is passed through the baffled chamber 3 over trays of liquid 8 to an outlet B. Small intermittent discharges also are made automatically through the ball valve 5, which is oscillated by the movement of the vehicle. This valve may be placed at the outlet B. The suction mouths may be closed by shutters 4a to prevent the ingress of mud. In a modified construction, the baffles in the chamber are inclined to deliver the dust to the discharge valve, and the issuing dust from the outlet B is sprayed bv an horizontal rose. Two modified forms of discharge valves are shown, one of which is actuated by the axial movement of a screw rotated by a cable suitably connected to a lever near the driver, while the other is supported on one end of a pivoted link having its other end formed as a nut engaged by a handoperated screw.
