Abstract
A flow deflecting device includes a flow deflecting body configured to be deployed and retracted; a rotational mechanism, whereby the flow deflecting body is rotatable in an engaged state at the rotational mechanism; and a limiting mechanism, whereby rotation of the flow deflecting body is limitable in an engaged state at the limiting mechanism. In a case in which the flow deflecting body in a deployed position is acted upon by a first external force, engagement with the rotational mechanism is released, and the flow deflecting body is rotated in the retraction direction in the engaged state at the limiting mechanism. In a case in which the flow deflecting body in a retracted position is acted upon by a second external force, engagement with the limiting mechanism is released, and the flow deflecting body is rotated in the retraction direction in the engaged state at the rotational mechanism.
