The invention relates to a safety cabin for a mobile home or motor home comprising a part of the safety cabin arrangeable behind the driver compartment, with walls of the safety cabin comprising at least one layer of a fibre-reinforced plastic woven fabric and/or non-woven fabric. One layer comprises plies following one another along a transverse direction here. Plies directly following one another comprise different fibre orientations here. The layer in the lateral external walls in a front region of the cabin, in relation to an intended main travel direction, preferably comprises at least three to nine plies. In a rear region of the cabin, in relation to an intended main travel direction, the layer in the lateral external walls preferably comprises one to five plies. Additionally, an intermediate wall is present at a transition from the front region of the cabin to the rear region of the cabin arranged transversely to a longitudinal direction of the cabin, with the intermediate wall comprising a layer including three to nine plies. Similarly, the invention relates to a manufacturing method for the safety cabin according to the invention.

A car window and door guard has an upper or window portion configured to be mounted over the window frame surrounding the window of a car door, and a lower or door portion or cover configured to be lie over the door panel. The window portion has a front panel and a rear panel to form a sleeve. The window portion is generally see-through or transparent. The door includes an upper strip or section and a series of window tabs. Each window tab has a generally flat or planar portion extending from an elongated upper channel portion. The channel portion captures the door window slot or surround to prevent the window tab from being moved upward during the raising of the window. The door portion also has a lower section extending downwardly from the upper section that drapes over the car's door panel to protect the door panel.

An apparatus and methods for a driver barrier to isolate public transit vehicle operators, such as bus drivers or coach operators, from passenger seating areas. The driver side barrier includes a driver side barrier mounted behind a driver cockpit and a door coupled with the driver side barrier. In a closed configuration, the driver side barrier and door provide a barrier between the driver cockpit and a passenger seating area of the vehicle. The door may be rotated forward to provide a protective shield around the driver cockpit while allowing passengers to enter and exit the passenger seating area. In some embodiments, the door may be extended across an aisle of the passenger seating area to a curbside barrier, thereby partitioning the driver cockpit and passenger seating areas. When not in use, the door may be stowed behind the driver cockpit.

A seat includes a seatback and an armrest supported by the seatback. The armrest is rotatable relative to the seatback to a deployed position. A swing bar is supported by the armrest and is rotatable relative to the armrest to a downward position. The swing bar in the downward position is elongated downwardly from the armrest. A drive belt is indexed with the armrest and the swing bar to rotate the swing bar to the downward position when the armrests rotates to the deployed position.

The present invention may provide a barrier system for preventing transmission of disease (i.e., airborne or droplet-based disease) between two occupants of a vehicle, the barrier system comprising a frame adjustable in size and shape to fit the cabin of a plurality of different passenger vehicles, a shield operable to fit over the frame and being impervious to droplets expelled from the nose or mouth of a person, and a securing member operable to hold the barrier system in place.

An assembly of a dash for a vehicle includes a first plate and a second plate movable along an axis away from the first plate. The second plate moves from an undeployed position to a deployed position. The assembly includes spring between the first plate and the second plate that biases the second plate toward the deployed position. The assembly includes a post extending along the axis from the second plate through the first plate. The assembly includes a pin releasably engaging the post with the first plate in the undeployed position. The assembly includes a release supported by the first plate and connected to the pin. The pin is disengageable from the post transverse to the axis by the release.
