Background to the creation

It is well known to most motorists that in the meantime, parking maneuvers can cause you to involuntarily get too close to a vehicle that is already parked near the place you are trying to park yourself, so that you will encounter into such a car.

Although parking maneuvers are usually performed at very low speeds, even careful contact with another vehicle can cause damage to the body of the parked vehicle and the bumper of the parking vehicle.

Especially inexperienced drivers will tend to inflict such parking damage. But also an unknown car or poor visibility in a car will often be the direct cause of parking damage.

During a parking maneuver, the parking car is typically made a number of small forward and back movements combined with turns of the front wheel of the car. Typically, due to these back and forth movements, vehicles parked in front of and / or behind the parking car will be damaged, and the front and rear bumper of the parking car may be subject to parking damage during such maneuvers.

Various types of protection of bi carriages are known for the avoidance of dents, etc. US 4,819,015 describes a device for protecting the side of a body. The device comprises a rollable, elongated pad comprising magnets for attachment to the side of a vehicle. The device further comprises a plurality of straps at its two ends for further attachment to the body. Although this device is suitable for protection against the application of dents by others to the side of a car, this device is not suitable for mounting on the front or rear part of a vehicle to protect its own inflicted damage to other vehicles.

Thus, there is a continuing need to provide protection for other cars, especially during parking maneuvers.

It is an object of the present invention to provide such an aid.

This object is achieved with the present invention in its first aspect as set forth in claim 1 and with the present generation in its second aspect as set forth in claim 5. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are set forth in subclaims 2-4 and claim 6.

Thus, the present invention relates in its first aspect to a protective pad for protection against damage to cars, the protective pad comprising an elongated pad of a soft material, the pad comprising at least two straps, one end of which is fixed to the pad and the other end of which is arranged. to be clamped in the trunk of a car.

Finally, in its second aspect, the present invention relates to the use of a protective cushion according to the first aspect of the invention for protection against the application of damage to cars.

Due to its special construction, the production allows an easy and convenient way to avoid inflicting damage on other people's cars, especially during a parking maneuver. Similarly, production also allows for an easy and convenient way to avoid inflicting damage from other people's cars.

Brief description of figure

FIG. 1 shows in perspective an embodiment of a protective cushion according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT In its first aspect, the present invention comprises a protective pad for protection against damage to cars, the protective pad comprising an elongated pad of a soft material, the pad comprising at least two straps, one end of which is fixed to the pad and the other end is arranged to be clamped in the trunk of a car.

In one embodiment of the protective pad, the length of the pad is 60-170 cm, such as 70-160 cm, for example 80-150 cm, such as 90-140, for example 100-130 or 110-120 cm.

In one embodiment of the protective device, the soft material is selected from polymer such as plastic, foam, rubber, e.g. neoprene.

In one embodiment of the protective device, the protective pad comprises a through hole for each strap, each strap being mounted in a through hole in the protective pad.

In its second aspect, the present invention comprises the use of a protective pad according to the first aspect of the invention for protection against the application of damage to cars.

In one embodiment of the application, the use takes place during parking of a car.

Referring now to the figures for illustration of the present invention, FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a protective pad according to the first aspect of the invention.

FIG. 1 shows a protective cushion 200 for protection against damage to cars. The protective cushion comprises an elongated cushion 26 of a soft material, the cushion comprising two straps 28,28 ', one end of which is fixedly mounted on the cushion and the other end of which is arranged to be clamped in the trunk of a car.

The protective pad comprises a through hole 34 for each strap, and each strap is mounted in such a through hole in the protective pad.

The through hole may be linearly extending in one direction so that it extends between two opposing faces of the protective pad. Alternatively, the through hole may be angled, e.g. in a ca. 90 ° angle so that it extends between two adjacent faces of the protective pad.

The protective cushion can easily be stored in the trunk of a car while driving. When approaching a parking situation, one can get out of his car and open the trunk and leave the protective pad hanging out. In advance, the straps are adjusted in terms of length so that the protective cushion will just align with the rear bumper of the car and rest against it.

You can then complete your parking maneuver.

The protective pad illustrated in Figure 1 is particularly suitable for the type of cars in which the rear license plate is not mounted directly on the rear bumper but in a different position which thus does not represent an extreme rear position on the car. Such a location could be on the car's tailgate / tailgate.

The present invention is useful for the protection of others' cars during their own parking maneuvers as well as for the protection of their own parked car against the damage caused by others during parking maneuvers.
