Problems solved by technology

However, coated bumpers have generally more sensitive exterior surfaces that are particularly susceptible to scratches or coating damage
As an example, such scratches or coating damage can occur on the rear bumper when loading and unloading the cargo space of a motor vehicle (especially the luggage compartment) and / or when pets climb in and out

Embodiment Construction

[0036] The present disclosure provides a bumper protection device that is simple in design, self-deploying, and cost-effective, allowing retrofitting to different types of motor vehicles.

[0037] A bumper protection device for the bumper of a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger motor vehicle, is proposed. A bumper protection device includes at least one rail and a protective strip. The guide rail is fastened and / or fastenable within the cargo space of the motor vehicle, in particular the luggage compartment, and extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle. In one example, the protective strip moves along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle within the guide rail. The cargo space can be closed off with a pivotable liftgate. Although the term "liftgate" is used herein, it should be understood that the disclosure extends to the luggage compartment and tailgate.

[0038] In the open position of the liftgate, the protective strap may be pro...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a bumper protection device and a motor vehicle including the same. A method of use is also disclosed. An example bumper protection device includes, among other things, a protective strip moveable between a retracted position and an extended position, a spring biasing the protective strip to the extended position, and a closure arranged such that movement of the closure to a closed position urges the protective strip to the retracted position, and such that movement of the closure to an open position permits movement of the protective strip to the extended position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a bumper protection device and a motor vehicle including the bumper protection device. A method of use is also disclosed. Background technique [0002] In order to achieve an improved appearance, the bumpers of motor vehicles, especially passenger motor vehicles, are often painted in the same color as the motor vehicle. As a result, the overall visual impression of the vehicle is unified and thus enhanced. However, coated bumpers have generally more sensitive exterior surfaces that are particularly susceptible to scratches or coating damage. As an example, such scratches or coating damage can occur on the rear bumper when loading and unloading the cargo space (particularly the luggage compartment) of a motor vehicle and / or when pets climb in and out. [0003] There are many stowage systems with bumper protection structures in the prior art. In DE 10012767 A1 a system comprises an extendable cargo bed which can slid...
