Raymond Augustus McDonald is an accomplished inventor based in Savannah, GA (US). He is known for his innovative contributions to the field of aerodynamic design, particularly in trailer skirt assemblies. His work has led to advancements that enhance the performance and efficiency of transportation vehicles.
Latest Patents
McDonald holds a patent for an Aerodynamic Skirt Assembly. This invention features a resilient or flexible skirt panel assembly with an integral bracing system. The bracing system operates without needing to attach to a trailer base rail. The patent discloses various skirt panel orientations, including straight, straight-angled, and curved designs. Additionally, it introduces angled braces, 'v-braces,' 'v-wings,' and integral rib bracing mechanisms. These components allow the skirt panel and bracing mechanisms to absorb or bend under force while maintaining a 'memory' to return to their original shape once the force is removed. The skirt assembly also includes a hem along the bottom edge, enhancing both performance and longevity. An 'anti-skid' clamping assembly can be utilized to connect the skirt assemblies to the trailer I-beam, base rail, or cross-members.
