Abstract:
The invention relates to a deflector device for motor vehicles, the front part of the chassis of which comprises a left-hand (2) and right-hand longitudinal beam, arranged before a front wheel (4) and configured by a deflector that projects from the longitudinal beam in a substantially horizontal manner and backward at an angle to protect said front wheel in the case of a collision. The aim of the invention is to prevent the vehicles from being caught and being pushed off the road in the event of a partially overlapping frontal collision. For this purpose, the deflector (11) comprises a deflection element (15) which can be longitudinally displaced from a rest position to an operational position, said deflection element (15) consisting of a slider (16) guided on or in the deflector and a forward-facing shoulder (17).
Abstract:
A protective panel for a vehicle substantially conforming to a portion of a vehicle. The protective panel having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface, the lower surface having a reduced surface area in order to limit force applied to the protective panel and the vehicle. The panel further having an edge portion disposed along a perimeter, between the upper and lower surface, for deflecting obstacles, and one or more mounting points for removably attaching the protection panel to a portion of the exterior of a vehicle.
Abstract:
A safety guard (5) for a vehicle (2), such as a school or transit bus, tractor trailer or the like-type vehicle, includes a frontal guard piece (92) positioned at an angle in front of a wheel (12, 26) of the vehicle that will function to push individuals and other animate objects lying in the path of the vehicle out of the path of the wheels (12, 26) for safety purposes, while being mounted for telescoping movement to protect the safety guard (5) from damage upon abutting an inanimate object during operation of the vehicle (2).
Abstract:
Plastic structures for automotive applications are disclosed. The structures are preferably produced by blow molding and comprise at least one hollow structure (100) containing a cavity (204), generally containing a vehicle component therein, formed within the confines of the wall structure, such as a battery holder (208).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftableitungskomponente (100) für ein Kraftfahrzeug zum Schutz vor einem Aufschlag einer Bordsteinkante auf eine Unterseite des Kraftfahrzeugs, wobei die Kraftableitungskomponente (100) an der Unterseite des Kraftfahrzeugs in vertikaler Richtung des Kraftfahrzeugs an einem Kraftfahrzeuglängsträger (102) anordenbar und in Kraftfahrzeuglängsrichtung durch eine mit der Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeugs verbundene Abstützung (104) verbindbar ist, wobei die Kraftableitungskomponente (100) dazu ausgebildet ist, im Falle einer ruckartigen Bewegung der Bordsteinkante in Richtung der Unterseite des Kraftfahrzeugs eine Aufprallfläche (112) bereitzustellen und auf die Aufprallfläche (112) wirkende Kräfte vollständig aufzunehmen.
Abstract:
A frame for mounting an implement to a vehicle having wheels includes elongated frame members for supporting the implement and drive members that are mounted on the elongated frame members. The drive members contact the wheels of the vehicle and receive a driving force from the wheels. The frame is mounted to the vehicle only on the vehicle wheels, and is able to pivot to follow the steering motion of the vehicle wheels.
Abstract:
A multiple use vehicle accessory is provided that has first and second members that are longer in the longitudinal direction than in the lateral direction. A cross member is longer in the lateral direction than in the longitudinal direction. The first member, second member, and cross member are capable of being configured in a first orientation with respect to a vehicle so as to be positioned as a brush guard. Also, the first member, second member and third member are capable of being configured in a second orientation with respect to the vehicle so as to be positioned as a luggage rack. The first member, second member, and cross member are configured to allow the vehicle to traverse so as to contact the cross member.
Abstract:
El dispositivo para apartar la nieve es un dispositivo destinado a retirar la nieve delante de cada una de las ruedas de cualquier vehículo, tanto de uso particular como industrial y puede utilizarse tanto con las cadenas convencionales de los vehículos para la nieve como sin ellas. Asimismo mejora la estabilidad de los vehículos en otras situaciones meteorológicas difíciles como barro, arena, gravilla y otros obstáculos. En caso de que un vehículo circula por una superficie altamente deslizante el presente dispositivo para apartar la nieve puede ser utilizado para aumentar la estabilidad del mismo incluso frenarlo si fuera necesario. El dispositivo para apartar la nieve se baja hasta el nivel del suelo o se retira debajo del guardabarros según su necesidad.
Abstract:
Eine Abweisvorrichtung für Kraftfahrzeuge, deren Vorderwagen einen linken (2) und einen rechten Längsträger aufweist, ist vor einem Vorderrad (4) angeordnet und von einem im Wesentlichen horizontal und schräg rückwärts vom Längsträger abstehenden Abweiser gebildet, der das Vorderrad im Kollisionsfall schützt. Um bei einer teilüberdeckten Frontalkollision ein Verhaken und ein Von-der-Straße-gedrängt-werden zu verhindern, ist an dem Abweiser (11) ein Abweisschuh (15) in dessen Längsrichtung aus einer Ruhestellung in eine Wirkstellung verschiebbar geführt, wobei der Abweisschuh (15) aus einem am oder im Abweiser geführten Schieber (16) und aus einem nach vorne gerichteten Absatz (17) besteht.
