Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The aforesaid invention described hereinbelow is aimed mainly for the automotive sector and sectors related thereto, specifically for guarding motor vehicles of all of models existing on the market (i.e. individual family cars); protection against possible impacts which they might sustain on their bodies and/or other elements of the car (roof, hood, trunk, doors, wing spoilers, fins, mudguards, fenders, . . . ; including the windshields and glass on all of the aforementioned parts). [0002] Regarding hail being expressly mentioned in the Title as one of the possible impacts which the vehicle might sustain (or against which it is attempted to guard the vehicle) is due to its being especially conceived for those days on which the weather conditions, by means of rain in conjunction with hail, may sometimes damage, among others, cars, etc.; nevertheless, we reiterate the fact that the invention would not be solely and exclusively designed for protection in these cases. [0003] As mentioned hereinabove, this invention is, in principle, for motor vehicles. Nevertheless, we deem it suitable that it not be confined to these cases so that the object of our invention not be limited solely to such motor vehicles, but rather to any type of vehicle; and much further beyond, to any type of object which may be subjected, whether or not located outdoors, to any type of aggression by an object or thing causing an impact or blow thereto. STATE OF THE ART [0004] It is true that numerous implements and objects for protecting the body of vehicles located outdoors (or not) are on the market, quite particularly for protection against the effects of wear, fading, etc. caused by sunlight, also against the action of other inclement weather such as rain (i.e. awning). . . [0005] Those which are expressly mentioned but are nevertheless are in no way whatsoever incompatible with what is being proposed herein. In fact, they differ greatly from the idea which will be set forth in following hereinbelow. We deem them to be designed against other types of aggression (such as sunlight, rain . . . ), not against impacts. Others, which are more similar to our invention as a result of their being for protection in this case more specifically against impacts, are of other designs, materials, etc. which are either of a different type than what we claim at a further point herein or make them less practical and/or ineffective, as shall be illustrated in following hereinbelow. [0006] Of course, excepted from all of the above are the Utility Models (Spain) U200302734 and U200401155, the priority of which shall be claimed at a further point herein by means of this international application and those on which the same is based. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0007] The invention in question consists of several elements which actually comprise one single whole, which are those described in following hereinbelow. What must be pointed out at this point is that the primary distinguishing aspect of this invention in comparison to others is the easy, practical placement/mounting as well as dismantling, also its folding as well as the small space it takes up for its storage or transport, its effectiveness of course likewise being another aspect. [0008] Special mention must also be made at this point of one same invention being submitted, but with some minor changes in some of the elements thereof, and we place greater emphasis on one of these variations (mesh 1 with inflatable chamber 3) than on the others, setting it apart as of this point as the main modality to be claimed . . . , however, certainly by virtue of the imperative of unity of the invention. In any case, all of these variations clearly have a common denominator, comprising one sole general invention concept with one sole purpose and objective. [0009] The above having been stated, each one of the elements comprising the same are -detailed immediately in following hereinbelow: ONE. Mesh and Inflatable Chamber: FIGS. 1, 5 and 6 *Description: [0010] Mesh 1 [ex. Made of nylon or other materials, as seen fit], reinforced, particularly sturdy yet highly flexible, on the sides and along the full length and width thereof (See FIG. 1) it will have several strips or seams of the same material 2, but more reinforced, which will make these parts of the-mesh sturdier. Its being sturdy yet flexible is for the purpose of serving to deaden possible blows or impacts. [0011] The shape of the mesh will also depend upon the vehicle or object for which it is intended to be used, this being for a better attachment or fit thereto. (See FIGS. 5-6, 10-11 and 13). [0012] Underneath what are referred to as strips or seams 2 will be an inflatable chamber 3 incorporated and adhered thereto, which will be affixed or attached by means of another attachment system 9 (ex. Snaps or slips, Velcro . . . ), the females thereof being in different positions on the mesh 1 and on the strips 2 thereof, the males being on the inflatable chamber 3, these affording the possibility of slightly moving the position of the inflatable chamber 3 as convenient for a better fit to the shape of the vehicle or object, the air chamber 3 forming a complete framework or channeling which will be sturdy and flexible (i.e. made of material similar to that of floats, special gum, rubber . . . ). This inflatable chamber 3 will be a whole, with one single air intake (o more than one, channeled into one single one, as best fitting), on which there will be a valve 8 as an inlet nozzle through which it will be inflated and, as mentioned directly hereinabove, it will run along the entire (or practically the entire) mesh 1 underneath the strips 2 thereof, to which it will be adhered, as previously stated hereinabove (See FIGS. 5 and 6); the central tubular span (which runs from the hood to the trunk, over the roof of the vehicle) will comprise a whole in the form of a spinal or vertebral body, will be relatively thicker than the other tubular spans, this being for the purpose of marking a clear-cut central A-shaped peaked slope. [0013] For practical reasons, these channels formed by the inflatable air chamber 3 may take on different shapes. [0014] As is explained directly hereinabove, the inflatable chamber 3 has one single air inlet by way of a valve 8 (or more than one valve, all channeled into one single valve). Nevertheless, if the practical requirements make it so advisable to achieve an even faster deflation, some or all of the ends of the tubes will be fitted with air outlets by means of hermetic seals 4 (See FIG. 2), that is, prepared in order not to leak air, in order, wherever necessary, to uncover those necessary for achieving a greater, faster flowrate of the outflowing air. These may be, as practically suitable, the same as the aforementioned multiple air inlets, channeled into one single one. [0015] In any case, chamber 3 serves as a body in between the car body or other parts and the mesh 1 (in the event that the object to be protected be, for example, a vehicle . . . ) *Dimensions: [0016] The dimensions of the mesh will depend upon the vehicle or object on which it is intended for use. [0017] The dimensions of the strips or seams shall be of approx. 2-3 cm (although they may also vary, as needed). [0018] The dimensions of the inflatable air chamber 3, may also vary depending on practical needs. Continue reading about Hail-protection netting for vehicles...
