Abstract
Description
[0001] The device for locking a vehicle door in the event of danger from an object approaching from behind solves the problem of an accident caused by inattentive opening of the vehicle door despite an object passing by.
[0002] The implementation of the invention is problem-free since all necessary components for construction are state of the art.
[0003] A “retrofit kit for old vehicles” is necessary because the number of accidents, especially involving cyclists who do not keep enough distance when passing a stationary vehicle, is still very high.
[0004] For a cyclist, a suddenly opening car door is an unavoidable risk of accident, especially for children or inexperienced fast cyclists with electric motors.
Claims
[1] Device for locking a motor vehicle door in case of danger from an object approaching from behind, characterized by that sensors prevent opening if the distance is too small. [2] Device for locking a motor vehicle door in the event of danger from an object approaching from behind according to claim 1, characterized by that a visual or acoustic warning signal warns of the danger. [3] Device for locking a motor vehicle door in case of danger from an object approaching from behind according to claims 1 and 2, characterized by that opening will only be possible after the all-clear has been given.
