Abstract
A protective screen, to act as a filter for the air stream passed through a heat exchanger in a vehicle, especially a heavy goods vehicle, comprises a cover which is pervious to air and which is arranged to be disposed facing the heat exchanger and in the path of the air stream towards the latter. The cover has a first side edge adapted to be fixed to the vehicle by detachable fastening means, and a second side edge on the side opposite the first side edge. The second side edge is arranged to be fixed to the vehicle by detachable fastening means in the form of springs, which are such as to put the screen under tension.
