The panels have a rigid structure and an empty area as a window for insertion of a box.

Description

Safety screen for vehicles.

The object of the invention is a new screen of vehicle safety

In the current state of the art already known safety screens for vehicles (preferably used in public use vehicles such as taxis, police vehicles, etc.).

The files P200301731, P200000563, U200300281, U8902652 and U8803628, among many others, are clear examples of screens that are part of the current state of The technique.

Unresolved problems in the screens of known security are its modularity, its versatility and its operability

Current solutions are not removable (what which prevents reuse of the vehicle as a vehicle conventional once installed) are not modular (which, by dimensions, prevents its transport in the vehicle itself even after of complex uninstallation tasks) and, in most the cases do not achieve isolation between the driver and the rest of the occupants, if not between the front and rear areas of the vehicle.

An additional unresolved problem lies in the contour configuration which, being standard and therefore unmodifiable, it turns out that it leaves unprotected areas in relation to the sides, floor and / or roof of the vehicle.

The safety screen for object vehicles of the invention presents modular configuration and:

a) consists of a series of structural lower panels and a series of transparent upper panels, with joining means for mounting / dismantling
ride them together;

b) each of said panels is modular and, by separated, it has a surface dimension less than the dimension surface of the trunk of the vehicle where they are installed;

c) the aforementioned lower panels have a stiffening structure, in relation to which both are arranged the said means of joining between panels as fixing means to the structure of the vehicle and / or the driver's back and, at minus one of them, defines an empty area as a window, to insertion of a cash register;

d) the set of said panels presents in its edges-contour adaptation areas, silhouette conjugated with that of the areas of the vehicle where they impact.

The aforementioned lower panels have a stiffening structure, in relation to which both are arranged the said means of joining between panels as fixing means to the structure of the vehicle itself and / or at the back of the driver.

At least two panels are arranged together by an orthogonal structure, escorting respectively, the rear and lateral areas of the driver, which they isolate from the rest of the vehicle interior.

To better understand the purpose of this invention, a preferred form of practical realization, susceptible to accessory changes that do not distort its foundation.

Figure 1 represents a general scheme in upper floor of the cabin of a vehicle equipped with the security screen object of the invention.

Figure 2 represents a general scheme in rear elevation corresponding to figure 1.

Figure 3 represents a scheme similar to the Figure 2, seen from the opposite side.

Figure 4 is an enlarged detail, according to indication of figure 1.

An example of practical, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention.

The object of the invention is a new screen of vehicle safety

The object of the invention is to isolate the area from driver (Z_ {1}) of the other areas of the vehicle: Both the rest of the front zone (Z_ {2}) as the rear zone (Z_ {3}) of the vehicle are isolated and without direct communication with the area of the conductor (Z_ {1}).

To do this, the security screen has a approximate "L" configuration with a wing isolating the area (Z_ {1}) of the pilot-driver with respect to the zone (Z_ {2}) of the co-pilot and his other wing isolating the zone (Z_ {1}) of the pilot-driver of the passengers of the rear passenger compartment (Z 3) of the vehicle (V).

Each wing consists of at least one panel structural bottom (1) and a transparent top panel (2) with joining means (4) for assembly-disassembly of panels with each other.

The dimensioning of the panels (1), (2) is such that when disassembled fit in the trunk of the vehicle (V) Where they are going to be installed.

According to the invention it consists of a series of lower structural panels (1) and a series of panels upper transparent (2) being completed with joining means (4) to assemble / disassemble each other easily and quickly.

Said panels (1), (2) are of configuration modular and each of them, separately, presents a dimension maximum surface that is always smaller than the dimension surface of the trunk of the vehicle (V) where they are installed; from so that the dismantled screen can be stored in the trunk.

The upper transparent panels (2) are of polycarbonate or any other resistant / transparent material similar and carry in at least their areas of union elements of coupling / anchoring (4b) to other panels (1) or (2).

The lower structural panels (1) are of fiberglass or any other similar resistant / opaque material; reinforced with an internal stiffening structure (3). In bliss stiffening structure the anchoring elements (4a) are arranged conjugates Normally, said internal stiffening structure (3) It is hidden from view either by upholstery, by the backrest itself from the driver's seat or by a closing panel; so that only the anchoring element (4a) emerges outside.

At least one of said structural panels (1) defines an empty area (11) as a window, in which assemble a cash drawer, to carry out operations between driver located in the area (Z_ {1}) and occupants, located in the zones (Z_ {2}) or (Z_ {3}) always by indirect access.

For a non-limiting example of realization, the elements (4a) are threaded stems that emerge from the internal stiffening structure and the elements (4b) are holes; so that for quick coupling between components of the screen is enough to accommodate the rods (4a) in the holes (4b) and compress the panels (2) against the panels (1) using popcorn, nuts or similar (4c) manipulable from the area (Z_ {1}) of the driver.

For layered / orthogonal connection between panels (1), (2) -necessary to make the zones independent (Z_ {1}), (Z_ {2}) with each other - an orthogonal / angled structure is used, for example, a square profile (4d) -see figure 4- positionally orificed in such a way that it is enough to accommodate in these holes threaded stems that emerge from the panels (1) and compress them with nuts or popcorn (4c) analogously to that described for joining between panels (1), (2).

It is indistinct and accessory for the purposes of invention that threaded rods (4a) emerge from the profile / square (4d) and are housed in holes (4b) provided in the panels (2).

Although the first solution described is more appropriate for the bottom panels (1) and the second solution described is more appropriate for the upper panels (2), any others are included in the object of the invention alternative conjugate and / or interchangeable solutions that do not alter, change or modify the proposed essentiality.

Both the lower structural panels (1), as the upper transparent panels (2), as a whole, they present in their borders-contour some areas of adaptation (Za) to the profile / silhouette of the vehicle in areas where the screen falls. Logically, these areas of adaptation of contour-edges vary depending on the model of concrete vehicle where the screen is applied, without altering it The essence of the invention

Similarly, both structural panels bottom (1) as the top transparent panels (2) can carry complementary joining means (5) to anchor to the vehicle structure (V). For example, and in particular, said means (5) fix panels (1), (2) to, at least, ceiling, floor and vehicle dashboard (V).
