The invention relates to protection devices providing operational safety for vehicles, mainly of agricultural purpose. The technical result consists of enhancing the efficiency of safety device through the improvement of operational reliability in frontal and lateral collisions and simplicity of restoring its structural integrity after collision. The vehicle protection device includes a base, and a barrier located in front of the base and fastened thereto by means of at least two struts having one end attached to the barrier and the other end to the base. Each of the struts is made of at least two separate rod-shaped elements featuring holes along their longitudinal axes, and containing detachable joints at their ends; said elements are configured to enable them to stay connected with each other by means of a flexible element passing through the holes of all rod-shaped elements of the struts. The struts are also configured to make their mutual disconnection possible under axial or lateral load. Moreover, said flexible element is configured to interact with a base-mounted mechanism for activating the sensor of the vehicle stopping system.

The vehicle dent protection system attaches to and protects a vehicle from dents while said vehicle is parked. A plurality of instantiations of the vehicle dent protection system are attached to the vehicle such that the plurality of instantiations form a protected space around the vehicle. The vehicle dent protection system is a sacrificial structure that receives and dissipates an impact before the impact can damage the vehicle. The vehicle dent protection system includes a plurality of telescopic structures, a plurality of pivot structures, a sacrificial module, and a frame mount. The plurality of pivot structures interconnect the plurality of telescopic structures such that the plurality of telescopic structures can rotate. The plurality of telescopic structures attach the sacrificial module to the frame mount such that the position of the sacrificial structure relative to the frame mount is adjustable.

A safety guard for a vehicle, such as a school or transit bus, includes a skirt extending below a side body portion of the vehicle and between front and rear wheels along a side of the vehicle. The skirt functions to push individuals and other animate objects out of the path of the wheels for safety purposes, while being mounted for separate linear and arcuate movements relative to the body of the vehicle to protect the guard from damage upon abutting an inanimate object during operation of the vehicle.

An accessory assembly for a bumper region of a vehicle includes a support disposed in the bumper region, and an accessory mounted to the support. The accessory is accessible from the bumper region. The accessory assembly includes a cover attached to the accessory to conceal the accessory in a use position, and the cover is detachable from the accessory to provide access to the accessory in a removed position. A vehicle bumper accessory assembly includes a bumper defining an accessory region, and the support disposed in the accessory region of the bumper. The vehicle bumper accessory assembly includes the accessory that is accessible outside of the bumper. The vehicle bumper accessory assembly includes the cover attached to the accessory to conceal the accessory when the accessory is not in use, and the cover is detachable from the accessory to provide access to use the accessory.

A payload perimeter protecting bumper and method of stopping an approaching vehicle from coming too close to a parked vehicle which includes a male receiver insert structure, which is configured to be inserted into and coupled to a hitch receiver on a truck, an intermediate portion disposed between male receiver insert structure and bumper member, which provides for the pivoting ability. The bumper member has an elongated pivotable structural member. The system is configured so that if you were to be trapped, you could unlock the pivot limiting pin and pivot upward the elongated pivotable structural member, thereby creating more space to move to exit the parking spot. In some embodiments, the elongated pivotable structural member could have a remote controlled linear actuator, with a length that could be automated.

A bumper assembly having a transverse bumper body and at least one wing extension that is configured for pivotal movement relative to a side end of the transverse bumper body. Each wing extension has inner and outer surfaces and is moveable from a rest position to an impact position in response to an impact force acting within a horizontal plane. In the rest position, the outer surface of each wing extension is parallel or substantially parallel to the transverse axis, and in the impact position, the outer surface of the wing extension is positioned at an acute angle relative to the transverse axis. Each wing extension is configured to return to its rest position in response to removal of the impact force.
