FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mud flap for trucks showing my new design, it being understood that the pattern of projections is repeated uniformly throughout the entire surface of the two recessed rectangular areas as shown schematically by dot-dash lines.

FIG. 2 is a fragmentary plan view on an enlarged _scale of the lower left corner thereof in the region of the circle 2 of FIG. 1. _

FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view thereof on a substantially enlarged scale taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 1.

FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view thereof on a substantially enlarged scale taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 1.

The surface of the mud flap opposite to that shown _in FIG. 1 is substantially flat and unornamented. _The longitudinal and transverse edge surfaces at the _right side and at the top of the mud flap are mirror _images of the respective left side and bottom edge _surfaces shown in FIG. 1. The border of the mud flap has been shown _as broken in FIGS. 3 and 4 for convenience of _illustration.
