Description of the Related Art In a large-sized vehicle, the space under the vehicle left between the vehicle body and the road surface is such that when the large-sized vehicle and an ordinary passenger vehicle accidentally collide with each other, the engine section of the passenger vehicle is a large-sized vehicle. There is a danger that the lower edge of the body of a large vehicle may directly hit the occupant of the passenger car by being fitted into the space under the vehicle. A large vehicle is usually provided with a bumper device at the rear or side entrance of the space under the vehicle, but it is a large vehicle, especially a large vehicle such as a large trailer where the distance between the rear wheel and the rear end of the vehicle body is large. In order to prevent the bumper from touching the road surface when there is unevenness on the road surface or at the boundary between the slope and the flat ground, it is necessary to reduce the height of the bumper from the road surface. Has a limit. Also, especially in large vehicles,
When a person or a bicycle contacts the side of the vehicle, it is flipped by the front wheels to move the person or the bicycle toward the space under the vehicle instead of being hit by the rear wheels, causing more damage. I often receive it. Between the front wheels and the rear wheels, even in the case of a large vehicle, the vehicle body is guided at both ends by the front wheels and the rear wheels, so that the vehicle body is not curved at the road surface or at the boundary between the slope and the flat ground. Although the rear end does not come much closer to the road surface, the under-vehicle space intrusion prevention barrier that has been generally provided heretofore in this part still has its lower end lower than that of the road surface so as to avoid inadvertent contact with the road surface. It is provided only up to a position large enough to allow the invasion of the body, and there are no accidents where a person's body intrudes through this gap and is hit by the rear wheels.

From the viewpoint, the undercarriage space for large vehicles is inevitable for large vehicles, or the height dimension of the lower end of the bumper is extremely dangerous for ordinary passenger cars and passersby. Alternatively, without reducing the height of the lower end of the bumper, a passenger car is directly hit by the body of a large vehicle or a passerby is caught between the front and rear wheels by the body of a large vehicle when the engine part of the normal passenger car is thrust into the space under the car. An object of the present invention is to provide a device capable of preventing the risk of being damaged.
