Safe protection equipment for all vehicles and drivers

Abstract

Safe protection equipment for all vehicles will significantly reduce the collision force by elasticity of material and strength of object with elliptical arch or dome shape, high stiff and tensile strength in that the stretchy materials will be compressed to absorb the energy and reduce the colliding force that is passed to and spread over to the object with strong strength when the vehicle hit an obstacle or two vehicles collide with each other. The reduced colliding force that is spread over a big area instead of focusing on a small spot will be passed to the frame or body of the vehicle with much less damage to the body of the vehicle and the passengers in the vehicle significantly.

This equipment will protect both vehicles and drivers without changing the current air-bag protection system. It will significantly reduce the damage for serious collision accidents.

This safe equipment can be installed on front, rear, side or corner of the vehicle to replace the bumper or cover of the vehicle door or body. Some vehicles might need to change the cover or frame design to attach the equipment properly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] This equipment can be applied to all type of vehicles, e.g., cars, vans and trucks. The outer layer (1) has similar shape to the internal layer (2) and the space between two layers has the longest distance in the middle of the elliptical arch or top of the elliptical dome. The material of outer layer (1) is the regular steel or aluminum alloy currently used for the cover of the car door or body. The internal layer (2) has the shape of elliptical arch or dome. The material of internal layer (2) has high stiffness and tensile strength and is hard to be deformed. The outer and internal layer is strongly glued or wielded or put together by screws near the side. The space between outer layer (1) and internal layer (2) is filled by a mat of stretchy material (3), or a mattress of springs (4), or a rubber mat (5) with rubber pillars (6). The equipment can be installed on front, rear, side or corner of the vehicle to replace the bumper or cover of the car door or body. Some vehicles might need to change or enhance the frame design to attach the equipment properly.

[0022] When the vehicle hit an obstacle or two vehicles collide with each other in straight line or the side of the car door is hit, the outer layer (1) will be deformed to absorb the energy. The outer layer (1) will push the mat of stretchy material (3), or the mattress of springs (4), or the rubber pillars (6) and rubber mat (5), which will be deformed and compressed to absorb the energy and reduce the colliding force. The reduced colliding force is passed to and spread over the whole internal layer (2) instead of focusing on a small spot because the internal layer (2) is hard to be deformed. Eventually the internal layer (2) will pass the reduced colliding force more smoothly to where the internal layer stays. If the colliding is very heavy, it will also trigger the vehicle to pop up the airbag. In any case, the damage of the vehicle and the driver from the collision accidents will be reduced significantly, comparing with the current vehicle in a collision that energy is only absorbed by the deformation of the bumper or cover of the body or door without the safe equipment.
