Protective net for vehicles

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a protective net for vehicles, which includes a net part made of steel or stainless steel and a frame. When a driver or a passenger determines that the protective net is needed, the protective net constructed so that the net part made of steel or stainless steel is surrounded with the frame is used in place of a window inserted into a window frame of a vehicle. It is possible to change the protective net such that it has various sizes, according to the structure and shape of windows used in various vehicles. The protective net is manufactured to have a size proper to be inserted into a rubber packing of a window frame, when the window is maximally moved rearwards. After a lock of the window is unlocked to be moved downwards or slide backwards, the protective net is inserted into the rubber packing and is locked by a net locking unit, thus being utilized in place of the window. The protective net reduces the amount of fuel consumed by the vehicles in the summer season, has a ventilation effect, prevents noxious insects from entering the vehicles, has an antitheft function, blocks ultraviolet rays, and provides a comfortable compartment.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a protective net for vehicles, which includes a net part made of steel or stainless steel and a frame. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Generally, windows of various sizes and shapes are installed in vehicles, such as trains or cars, to maintain the safety of passengers, circulate fresh air in the vehicles, and allow the passengers to look out. In order to afford passengers' safety and convenience, various devices and components have been developed and used. [0005] For example, a sun visor, which is installed in a car to shield against ultraviolet rays and glare, has been disclosed. The conventional sun visor is detachably attached to an inner surface of a window of the vehicle. This inventor also made attempts to develop a protective net which saves fuel used in various transportation means, such as trains or cars, having various window frames, has a ventilation effec...

Benefits of technology

[0010] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a protective net for vehicles, which prevents the problems caused by opening windows of various transportation means, such as a car, in the summer season or holiday season. When necessary, the protective net including a net part made of steel or stainless steel and a frame is installed in a window frame of a vehicle, in place of a window, thus reducing the amount of fuel consumed by the vehicle in the summer season, circulating air in the vehicle, preventing noxious insects from entering the vehicle, having an antitheft function, blocking ultraviolet rays, and providing a comfortable compartment.

[0013] According to this invention, when it is necessary to substitute the protective net of this invention for a window in various vehicles, such as a car, the protective net, including a net part made of steel or stainless steel and a frame, is installed in a window frame of the vehicle, in place of the window, thus reducing the amount of fuel consumed by the vehicles in the summer season, having a ventilation effect, preventing noxious insects from entering the vehicles, having an antitheft function, blocking ultraviolet rays, and providing a comfortable compartment.

[0019] According to the embodiment of this invention, when manufacturing the net part having line thickness of 0.5φ, each line of the net does not have a circular cross-section but has a rectangular cross-section. Thus, when manufacturing the net part, it is possible to provide an inclination angle to the net part formed by interconnecting longitudinal and latitudinal lines with each other, thus regulating the amount of exterior air. Meanwhile, when a manufacturer desires to mass produce the protective net using a perforated plate made of steel or stainless steel and having a mesh line thickness from 0.29 to 0.7φ, inclination is provided to holes of the perforated plate, thus regulating the amount of wind when the vehicle is running.

Problems solved by technology

In this case, his or her face may be exposed to a strong wind, and his or her hair may be blown, depending on the driving speed of the vehicle.

However, the strong wind may irritate his or her face and disarrange his or her hair.

Further, when a child or a dog is riding in the vehicle, the child or the dog may fall through the open window of the vehicle.

Furthermore, an object may be thrown through the open window of the vehicle, and gravel thrown up by another vehicle may fly through the open window.

This may cause a serious accident.

Consequently, people may frequently encounter traffic hazards due to the above-mentioned reasons.

Driving while using the air conditioner increases fuel consumption 30% over driving without the air conditioner.

Further, it is undesirable to keep windows of a vehicle open even at night, because resorts and fishing areas are infested with moths or mosquitoes in the summer season.

Further, when a person falls asleep in a sealed space where the air conditioner is turned on, the person may lose his or her life.

Furthermore, when a driver who drives a large cargo truck a long distance in the summer season desires to take a rest, it is undesirable to open the windows of a vehicle, because moths and mosquitoes prevent the driver from taking a rest.
