Abstract

Protective device of vehicles in garages and the like, of the type that configure a padded body intended to receive possible rubbing or impacts of the vehicle in parking maneuvers, characterized in that it is constituted by a stratified body, sandwich type, in which an outer layer of textile nature, based on polyester fibers, is applied, water-repellent layer, constituting the face of the protector, on the back of which a single layer of high-density polyethylene foam is fixed as an absorbing medium. Impact, a second layer of polyethylene foam, now of low density, and acting as an impact dissipater, is established behind said high density expanded polyethylene layer.

Description

Protective device for vehicles in garages and Similar.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to protect the perimeter of a vehicle in normal parking maneuvers of the same made in a garage or other similar place, where lack of space are relatively frequent friction with walls and columns, or impacts of the doors, when opened, on these elements.

The object of the invention is to achieve a highly effective protector, capable of absorbing and dissipating impacts, of repelling water, and of fixing to any surface, regardless of the configuration of the latter.

Background of the invention

It is common for parking spaces are delimited by walls and / or columns on some of its sides. It is also usual that these places are sized insufficiently to comfortably perform the maneuvers of parking, so that there is a constant risk of rubbing and impact on such walls and / or columns, with the consequent deterioration of vehicle paint.

The obvious solution to this problem, with independence of the implantation on the sensor vehicle of proximity, is to cover the surfaces of possible impact with a soft material, acting as a shock absorber between the vehicle and the Paramento in question.

However known protectors until the moment, or they do not satisfactorily fulfill this function buffer, or they are extremely complex and bulky, setting for example air chambers in your interior, which makes them unattractive to the consumer.

Description of the invention

The protector that the invention proposes implies the solution to the problem described above, by constituting a structurally simple element, low cost, and fully Functionally effective.

To do this, more specifically, said protector has a body with a stratified structure, with an outer layer of a textile nature, based on polyester fibers, which is water repellent and provides protection to the entire assembly, also providing it with an optimal aesthetic appearance, an intermediate layer based on high density polyethylene foam that absorbs the impact of the vehicle, and internally a layer of low density polyethylene foam, in turn responsible for dissipating the impact, offering maximum protection to both the vehicle as to the structure of the column or
wall.

This single piece and stratified set incorporates in its inner face a powerful adhesive that allows a strong fixation to the wall in question.

The protector is intended as an element thermoforming, that is to say the different components of it they constitute a single piece body, obtained in a thermal process, indivisible, giving the whole a longer duration throughout weather.

Although the protector thus structured is capable of be curved to fit surfaces that require it, as per example cylindrical columns, participation in the same bevels or weakening lines that facilitate your adaptation to all types of chamfers or edges in columns and walls.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a representation schematic section, an exploded view of the protective device of vehicles constituting the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Sample, also according to a schematic representation, an overview of the protective.

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, several Examples of practical use of the protector.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined, and in special figure 1, can be seen as the device vehicle protector that the invention proposes is constituted through a stratified body in which a layer participates textile (1), of polyester, constitutive of which the face must be outer or face view of the protector, an intermediate layer (2) of high density polyethylene foam, with any thickness that is  deems convenient and that with greater hardness absorbs the impact provided by the vehicle, layer (2) laminated together with another layer (3) of low density polyethylene foam, also of appropriate thickness but preferably thicker than high density layer (2), this layer (3) having the function of dissipate the impact offering maximum protection to both vehicle as to the wall in question, as previously has said.

As seen in Figure 2, the different layers or layers constituting the protector form a single piece and indivisible set, obtained in a thermal process which gives the whole an optimal aesthetic appearance, as it is a molded part, and with a long service life.

As can also be seen in the aforementioned figure 2, the body (4) obtained with the aforementioned layers or strata, incorporates bevels or weakening lines (5), which from a flat arrangement for it, suitable for fixing to the wall, they allow an easy conversion into a straight, acute or obtuse dihedral, into a double dihedral, etc., depending on the specific needs of each case, as shown in figure 3, where the body has been represented (4) adapted to different types of columns, that is to say columns with different sections. Thus, a specific protector is not required for each practical case in turn specific, but the same protector is "universal", applicable to any
circumstance.

Fixing the protector (4) to the column (6) or Paramento in question is carried out by means of a layer of adhesive (7), determining a sufficiently strong fixation even in the worst situations of surface dirt on which the protector should be applied. This layer of adhesive originally fixed to the layer (3) of polythene foam of Low density, will preferably be protected by a sheet of silicone paper or similar, removable at the time of application and fixation of the protector on the wall.

Claims (4)

1. Protective device for vehicles in garages and the like, of the type that make up a padded body intended to receive possible friction or impacts of the vehicle in parking maneuvers, characterized in that it is constituted by a stratified body, sandwich type, in which an outer layer of textile nature participates, based on polyester fibers, water repellent layer, constitutive of the face of the protector, to whose rear face a layer of high density polyethylene foam is attached as a single piece as an absorbing medium of the impact, establishing after said layer of expanded high density polyethylene a second layer of polyethylene foam, now of low density, and acting as an impact dissipator. 2. Protective device for vehicles in garages and the like, according to claim 1, characterized in that the three layers mentioned are fixed together, forming a single piece assembly, by thermoforming. 3. Protective device for vehicles in garages and the like, according to previous claims, characterized in that the stratified body incorporates weakening lines as bevels properly positioned to allow deformability of the protector in order to adapt to chamfers and / or edges of the walls . 4. Protective device for vehicles in garages and the like, according to previous claims, characterized in that the internal face thereof, that corresponding to the exposed face of the low density polyethylene foam layer, incorporates a powerful adhesive for fixing to any surface .
