JPH03224820A - Windshield glass safety device for automobile - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To absorb the shock generated when a human head is crashed into a windshield glass by supporting a plate protector on the front part of a ceiling of a car so as to move freely, unlocking a lock of the protector at the time of the collision of the car, and by pressing the protector to the rear surface of the windshield glass through spring force. CONSTITUTION:A left and right protectors 1 formed out of cushion material for absorbing shock as well as a framework material for absorbing the shock sandwiched with one another, are covered with a skin, and are connected together by fittings 5 for connection at two points in fore and rear parts, which is mounted on the front part of a ceiling of an automobile so as to vibrate freely. The protector 1 is energized in a release direction or downward by the spring force of a spring 4, and is held by a fixing fitting 2 that engages with a hook 2a in a stored condition. When the collision of a car is detected by a switch 6, the holding of the hook 2a by the fixing fitting 2 is released, and the protector 1 is pressed to the rear surface of a windshield glass 9, so as to absorb the shock when a human head is crashed thereinto thereafter.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The number of car accidents has increased rapidly recently, and many accidents have occurred where people hit their heads hard against the windshield, resulting in serious injuries or even death. If a vehicle is involved in a head-on collision or is involved in an accident, both the driver and the passenger may hit their heads against the windshield, causing serious injury.The safety device is not activated from above in the event of a collision. Since the mountain protector is made of soft materials except for the frame material, it acts as a cushion to protect the head and protect the driver and passenger.

Example: Attach 6 switches to the front bumper or the front part of the car body (the installation location may differ depending on the car model) - For example, when the vehicle speed is 15 km/h
When the protector collides with an object and a force is applied, the (2) safety device metal fittings attached to the ceiling (the installation location and method may differ depending on the car model) is activated, and the inner protector is fixed and wrapped tightly. 14) The spring will be released and pressed firmly against the windshield. The body is then thrown forward due to a collision, but this is a safety device that significantly reduces the impact on the individual body instead of directly hitting hard glass like in the past.

(1) The protector is a single plate, but depending on the car model, it may be folded in two.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Safety device (1) A protector (pad) part is usually set on the ceiling, and a switch (6) is attached to the front part of the car body, and in the event of a collision, a head-on collision with a wall or utility pole, or a head-on collision between cars, or other safety devices. Fixing metal fittings (
2) is removed and the protector (1) is quickly pressed against the windshield by the repulsive force of the spring (4), and the cushion shock absorber of the protector prevents the human body from coming into direct contact with the windshield. It is a device that is sandwiched in between and serves to absorb shock. (3) is a mounting metal fitting (5) is a connecting metal fitting.
