DISPLAY DEVICE AND VEHICLE

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a display device for the interior of a vehicle and to a vehicle as such.

[0002] It is known to mount a display device for the optical display of information assigned to a seat on the inside of the vehicle roof, for example on the headliner, in a vehicle, and in particular in a general motor vehicle or passenger car. It is also known to integrate such display devices in the rear area of ​​a vehicle into the back of a driver's or passenger's seat, for example in the area of ​​the headrest.

[0003] On the one hand, such known display devices are of a comparatively small spatial extent, which is also due to the fact that masses associated with larger displays, especially in the case of interior roof mounting, cannot be handled reliably.

[0004] EP 2 873 563 A1 describes a system and a method of use in which the position of a vehicle seat is monitored and the position of a vehicle display is automatically adjusted based on the current seating position, thereby reducing eye strain, fatigue, neck and back pain.

[0005] US Patent 6,256,078 B1 relates to a stowage device for an image monitor in a means of transportation, wherein a frame is mounted on a ceiling of the means of transportation on which a liquid crystal panel is stowed so that the surface of the panel faces the ceiling. When the liquid crystal panel is positioned for display, it is rotated by the drive mechanism so that the seated passenger can easily view it. The drive of the liquid crystal panel from the stowed position to the display position is effected by a motor, with the movement from the display position to the stowed position being effected by a spring. If the liquid crystal panel experiences an impact during display, such as from a passenger's head, a detection device can detect a deviation of the panel and transmit the signal to a control circuit.The control circuit then returns the liquid crystal panel to its stowed position by releasing an electromagnetic brake.

[0006] US Patent 2009 / 038422A1 discloses a device for adjusting the angle of a monitor, comprising a guide unit attached to a vehicle roof panel. The guide unit has at least one toothed rail with a horizontal track section and an arcuate track section. The device also includes a rotating shaft mounted on a monitor, which has gear teeth that mesh with the toothed rail.

[0007] The invention is based on the objective of creating a display device for the interior of a vehicle, as well as a vehicle itself, in which reliable and easy handling of even large and heavy display units is possible using simple means.

[0008] The problem underlying the invention is solved according to the invention in a display device by the features of claim 1 and in a vehicle by the features of claim 10. Advantageous further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0009] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a display device for the interior of a vehicle, and in particular a motor vehicle or passenger car, is provided, which is designed with a display unit that is configured for optically displaying information, and with a movement device that is configured to move the display unit, in particular controllably, between a non-use position, parallel to a headliner of the vehicle, and a use position, in particular pivoted away from the headliner of the vehicle, and, in particular controllably, to hold it in the non-use position and / or the use position.

[0010] The movement device (i) with first guide elements which are directly and rotatably mounted on the display unit to define a pivot axis for pivoting the display unit at least between the non-use position and the use position, (ii) with second guide elements which are each mechanically coupled or can be coupled to the display unit via exactly one coupling lever of the display device, and (iii) with guide rails for mounting on the headliner, with a guide track, for receiving the first and second guide elements and for moving them therein along the guide track.

[0011] These measures, and in particular the interaction of the first guide elements and the second guide elements with coupling levers in the guide rails, make it possible to handle previously difficult-to-handle display devices with larger and therefore heavier display units in a simple and reliable manner in the interior of a vehicle, whereby, for example, the inertia of the display device in conjunction with the movement possibilities due to the guide elements in the guide rails, in conjunction with the coupling lever, can be used for a passive and inertia-driven retraction of the display unit out of the passenger compartment.

[0012] In an advantageous embodiment of the display device according to the invention, the coupling levers are isolated or combined as a pair, identical or substantially identical to each other, of the same length, linear or substantially linear, aligned parallel to each other, aligned flush with each other, and / or each formed with a first end and a second end. These measures, individually or in combination, result in a high degree of flexibility through adaptability to the respective geometric conditions in the vehicle interior, also in relation to a specific embodiment of the concrete display unit with regard to geometry and weight.

[0013] According to another advantageous embodiment of the display device according to the invention, a first end of a coupling lever can be rotatably mounted on the display unit, and / or a second end of a coupling lever can be rotatably mounted on an associated second guide element. These measures, through the interaction of the first and second guide elements with the coupling lever, enable a reliable and stable pivoting mechanism for pivoting the display unit between the non-use position and the use position, particularly continuously, via the mobility and engagement in the guide rails.

[0014] Furthermore, it is advantageous if, according to another embodiment of the display device according to the invention, a mounting point for a first end of a coupling lever on the display unit is spatially spaced from a mounting point for an associated first guide element and / or is arranged on or in the region of a longitudinal edge of the display unit. These measures allow for reliable balancing of even larger display units.

[0015] With regard to the design of the first and second guide elements, there are numerous possibilities for adapting them to the conditions of the vehicle interior and / or the display device.

[0016] It is conceivable that, alternatively or in any combination, the first guide elements and / or the second guide elements could be used. among themselves or as a whole identical or substantially identical, arranged as sliders and / or for a sliding movement in a respective guide rail (55) are trained.

[0017] Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the first guide elements are attached to or in the area of ​​a first transverse edge and / or a longitudinal edge of the display unit.

[0018] When the display unit is mounted on the assigned vehicle, its first transverse edge, particularly in conjunction with the pivot axis, can be aligned parallel to a transverse direction of the vehicle. This allows, for example, a convenient, uniform orientation of the display unit suitable for the entire rear passenger area within the vehicle interior.

[0019] In principle, the display unit underlying a display device can be designed geometrically in any way imaginable.

[0020] However, particularly simple conditions arise when, according to another advantageous embodiment of the display device according to the invention, the display unit is designed with a substantially rectangular shape, with transverse edges aligned parallel to a transverse direction of the vehicle when mounted on the associated vehicle, and / or with longitudinal edges aligned parallel to a longitudinal direction of the associated vehicle when mounted on the associated vehicle. This also supports a favorable orientation of the display unit for the rear passenger area.

[0021] There are also many variations possible for the guide rails used.

[0022] It is therefore conceivable that the guide rails underlying a display device as a pair, identical or substantially identical to each other, linear or substantially linear, curved or sectionally curved, aligned parallel to each other, aligned flush with each other, particularly with respect to their respective first and second ends, in the state of the display device mounted on the associated vehicle, attached to or in the area of ​​a roof liner and / or in the state of the display device mounted on the associated vehicle, aligned parallel to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0023] Especially when using display devices that protrude into the passenger compartment of the vehicle's interior when in use, aspects of ease of operation and mobility are of particular importance, especially when using large or heavy display units.

[0024] To achieve this, according to a further aspect of the present invention, certain mechanisms can be incorporated into the display device according to the invention, which effect a higher degree of passive mobility of a display unit.

[0025] According to an advantageous embodiment of the display device according to the invention, it is conceivable to design a predetermined buckling point with a predefined breakaway force as the predetermined buckling force on or in a respective coupling lever such that, when the predetermined buckling force is exceeded, the coupling lever buckles at the predetermined buckling point and thereby transitions from an unbuckled normal form to a buckled safety form. Associated with the buckled safety form of the coupling lever is a corresponding pivoting of the display unit within the vehicle's interior, for example, from a working position of the display unit towards the non-working position and, in particular, parallel to the headliner, thereby releasing the vehicle's interior. The correspondingly necessary breakaway force as the predetermined buckling force is, for example,generated when a delay exceeding a predetermined minimum occurs due to the inertia of the mass of the display unit during movement deceleration.

[0026] Depending on the orientation of the pivot axis and / or the first guide elements defining it in relation to the coupling lever and its mounting points on the display unit and the position of the second guide elements, an inertia-driven deflection of the display unit can be used when deceleration forces exceeding a predetermined minimum level occur.

[0027] Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable to design a slip clutch and / or a brake, in particular each with a backstop, on or in a first guide element or between a first guide element and an associated guide rail and with a predetermined holding force as the target holding force, such that when the target holding force is exceeded, a respective first guide element moves in a respective associated guide rail - following the acting force.This means that in a case where the deceleration exceeds a predetermined minimum level, the maximum holding force or braking force of the clutch or brake is exceeded due to inertia, so that first guide elements are unlocked and move along the guide tracks of the guide rails, thus causing the display unit to move from an operating position to a non-operating position via the mechanical coupling with the passenger compartment, i.e. the interior of the vehicle, thereby releasing the interior of the vehicle.

[0028] The target buckling force and / or the target holding force can have a value corresponding to an acceleration of 5 g or above.

[0029] In principle, it is conceivable to design the guide elements, the coupling lever and the guide rails in such a way that the display unit of the display device according to the invention can be folded out and in and / or positioned by hand via appropriate stop mechanisms.

[0030] However, in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the display device according to the invention, a drive unit is provided which is designed to drive the first guide elements and / or the second guide elements and for separate and / or joint and, in particular, identical movement of the first guide elements and the second guide elements in a respective guide rail.

[0031] Additionally or alternatively, it is conceivable that the drive unit is designed with one or more controllable drives and with mechanically coupled or couplingable drive means assigned to these and to the respective guide elements, in particular in the form of brush cables or helical cables, which are designed for an engagement, in particular a combing, by first and / or second guide elements for their movement.

[0032] In particular, a drive system such as those used in sliding roofs can be used to drive the corresponding roof elements within a suitable frame.

[0033] Different movement modes of the display unit of the display device can be achieved by moving the guide elements independently or together.

[0034] Moving the guide elements together and in the same direction along the guide track, i.e. at the same speed, causes the display unit to shift along the guide track of the guide rails and, for example, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in the interior of the vehicle, without changing the inclination of the display unit.

[0035] In contrast, a relative movement between the first and second guide elements, with a corresponding arrangement of the guide elements and the coupling levers in relation to each other and in relation to the display unit and the guide rails, results in a pivoting movement, with translation of the pivot axis, which is defined, for example, by the first guide elements when the first guide elements are moved, and with a fixed pivot axis when the first guide elements are not moved and only the second guide elements move.

[0036] By appropriately coordinating the movement of the first and second guide elements, it is therefore possible to move the display unit, swivel the display unit or combine these forms of movement in the interior of an underlying vehicle in a controlled or regulated manner.

[0037] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is also created. This vehicle has a body, an interior formed by the body with a headliner, and a display device attached to or in the headliner and designed according to the invention.

[0038] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, two guide rails of the display device are attached to or in the headliner in such a way that they extend flush and parallel to each other with the same length in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, in particular on or - with respect to a transverse direction of the vehicle - in outer areas of the headliner.

[0039] Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, two first guide elements of the display device are received in the guide rails in such a way that a corresponding first transverse edge of the display unit of the display device, on whose area the first guide elements are attached, is arranged parallel to the transverse direction of the vehicle and in relation to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in the direction of a side facing the rear of the vehicle.

[0040] Furthermore, it is additionally or alternatively provided that two second guide elements of the display device are received in the guide rails in such a way that a second transverse edge of the display unit of the display device opposite the first transverse edge is arranged in the direction of a side facing away from the rear of the vehicle. Brief description of the characters

[0041] Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and the figures. Figures 1 to 4 show, in schematic and perspective side views, an embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, which is equipped with an embodiment of the display device according to the invention, wherein the display unit is arranged in various positions in the interior of the vehicle. Figures 5 to 7 show, in isolated schematic and perspective side views, another embodiment of the display device according to the invention in various positions. Figures 8 to 11 show, in schematic and perspective top views, a further embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, which is equipped with an embodiment of the display device according to the invention, wherein the display unit is arranged in various positions in the interior of the vehicle.Figure 12 shows a schematic and perspective side view of another embodiment of the display unit according to the invention with a slip clutch in a service position. Figures 13 to 15 show a schematic side view of the [description of the display unit]. Figure 12 Figures 16 to 18 show a schematic side view of another embodiment of the display unit according to the invention, in which the coupling lever has a predetermined bending point, in various positions within the interior of a vehicle according to the invention, which are assumed when a predetermined minimum deceleration exceeds a certain threshold.

[0042] The following are, with reference to the Figures 1 to 18Exemplary embodiments and the technical background of the invention are described in detail. Identical and equivalent elements and components, as well as those acting in the same or equivalent way, are designated by the same reference numerals. A detailed description of the designated elements and components is not provided in every instance where they occur.

[0043] The features and other properties shown can be isolated from one another and combined in any way without leaving the core of the invention.

[0044] The Figures 1 to 4 Figure 1 shows a schematic and perspective side view of an embodiment of the vehicle 1 according to the invention, which is equipped with an embodiment of the display device 10 according to the invention, wherein the display unit 20 of the display device 10 is arranged in different positions N, G in the interior 3 of the vehicle 1.

[0045] In all characters and also in the Figures 1 to 4 The vehicle 1 according to the invention is schematically represented by components of a body 2 which surround an interior 3 of the vehicle 1 and define a roof 5.

[0046] The respective vehicle 1 extends in a longitudinal direction X parallel to the x-direction, in a transverse direction Y parallel to the y-direction and in a vertical direction Z parallel to the z-direction, which are defined by the respective tripods indicated.

[0047] Each of the depicted display devices 10 is shown in the illustrations of the Figures 1 to 4 formed by the actual display unit 20, for example with a carrier 30 which carries a display element 40, for example a monitor or a screen, as can be seen from the Figures 2 to 4The display unit 20 is essentially rectangular in shape, with longer transverse edges 21 parallel to the transverse direction Y of the vehicle 1 and with shorter longitudinal edges 22 parallel to the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle 1.

[0048] Furthermore, a motion unit 50 is a component of the display device according to the invention. This is used in the Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment shown consists of two guide rails 55, two first guide elements 51, two second guide elements 52 and two coupling levers 53.

[0049] In this embodiment, the guide rails 55 are identical, have a linear shape of equal length, are arranged parallel to each other and flush with the headliner 5, and each form a guide track 56. Curved guide rails 55 are also conceivable in principle. In this embodiment, the guide rails 55 extend Figures 1 to 4in the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle 1. They are located spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction Y on the sides of the headliner 5, i.e. in particular at the transition from the roof to the side of the vehicle.

[0050] The first and second guide elements 51 and 52 are designed as first and second sliders respectively and are configured to be received in a respective guide rail 55 and moved therein or to move therein along the respective guide track 56.

[0051] In the area of ​​a first transverse edge 21 of the display unit 20, the first guide elements 51 are rotatably mounted on the display unit 20 such that a pivot axis or rotation axis 61 of the display unit 20 is defined. The mounting takes place, in particular, on the transverse edge 21 of the display unit 20 that lies on a side associated with the rear of a vehicle 1 and which, when the display unit 20 is mounted on the vehicle 1, faces the rear side of the vehicle 1. The mounting of the first guide elements 51 preferably takes place in the vicinity of the opposite longitudinal edges 22 of the display unit 20, in particular, virtually at the intersection of the longitudinal edges 22 and the transverse edges 21.

[0052] At a distance from the respective mounting point of the first guide elements 51 on the display unit 20, and thus at a distance from the axis of rotation 61, a first end 53-1 of a coupling lever 53 is rotatably mounted on the display unit 20, in particular in the region of a longitudinal axis 22. This means in particular that a coupling lever 53 is rotatably mounted with its first end on the display unit 20 at each longitudinal axis 22, wherein the distances of the mounting points from the axis of rotation 61 are in particular equal.

[0053] The second end 53-2 of each coupling lever 53 is rotatably mounted on a second guide element 52.

[0054] With the chosen arrangement of first guide elements 51, second guide elements 52, coupling levers 53 and guide rails 55 with guide tracks 56, it is possible to switch between a non-use position N and one or more use positions G of the display unit 20 when moving the guide elements 51, 52 in the guide rails 55, whereby different angles of inclination to the roof 5 and / or different lateral positions along the guide rails 55 and thus, when mounted in a vehicle 1, along the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle 1, can be assumed.

[0055] In the Figure 1 The display unit 20 is in a non-use position N, namely in a state in which the display unit is essentially aligned parallel to the headliner 5.

[0056] In the transition to the in Figure 2In the intermediate state shown, the display unit 50 is swung from the roof 5 into the passenger compartment 3 by appropriately moving the first and second guide elements 51, 52 in the guide rail 55 in order to assume a first operating position G.

[0057] In the transition to the in Figure 3 In the intermediate state shown, the display unit 20 is swivelled to a greater angle towards the headliner 5 and transferred to a more vertically oriented further operating position G.

[0058] In the transition to the in Figure 4The intermediate state shown is then achieved by simultaneously moving the first and second guide elements 51 and 52 respectively, and in particular by moving them at the same speed and over the same distance, resulting in a pure displacement without changing the angle of inclination, so that the viewing distance of a rear passenger 6 of the vehicle can be adjusted and, in particular, increased. In this case, during the transition to the state shown in Figure 4 The intermediate state shown shows the display unit moving to the front area of ​​vehicle 1.

[0059] The structure of the display device 10 with display unit 20 and movement device 50 described above is also based on the further Figures 5 to 18 This will be further clarified.

[0060] The Figures 5 to 7 The schematic and perspective side view shows an isolated embodiment of the display device 10 according to the invention in various positions N, G.

[0061] It is a similar situation to that in the Figures 1 to 4 is shown, but the focus here is on the individual elements of the display device 10 and on the non-use position N according to Figure 5 and the two usage positions according to the Figure 6 and 7 is directed.

[0062] The structure of the display unit 20 is again recognizable, with its transverse edges 21 and longitudinal edges 22, the support 30, and the actual display element 40. Each coupling lever 53 is rotatably mounted at its first end 53-1 on the longitudinal edges 22 at the same position. The second end 53-2 of the coupling levers is rotatably attached to second guide elements 52, which can run in the rail 55. The first guide elements 51 are rotatably mounted in the intersection area between the transverse edge 21 associated with the rear and the longitudinal edges 22, thus defining a pivot axis 61 of the display unit 20.

[0063] A drive unit 80 is shown schematically, with which the first and second guide elements 51 and 52, for example as first and second sliders, can be moved in the rails 55 along the guide tracks 56 in order to effect a controlled and / or regulated pivoting and / or shifting of the display unit 20.

[0064] The drive unit 80 can, for example, consist of a first drive 81, such as a first motor, for the first guide elements 51, wherein the coupling to the motor is effected via a first drive means 83, for example in the form of a brush cable or helical cable. According to the invention, the drive unit 80 can also have a second drive 82, for example a second motor, for the second guide elements 52, wherein the coupling to the motor is effected via a second drive means 84, for example also in the form of a brush cable or a helical cable. In this way, the first and second guide elements 51 and 52, respectively, can be moved autonomously, i.e., independently of each other, but also together, in order to freely select distances and inclinations of the display unit 20 in the interior 3 of the vehicle 1.

[0065] The Figures 8 to 11Figure 1 shows a schematic and perspective top view of a further embodiment of the vehicle 1 according to the invention, which is equipped with an embodiment of the display device 10 according to the invention, wherein the display unit 20 is arranged in different positions N and G in the interior 3 of the vehicle 1.

[0066] In the event of an accident, and especially in the case of head-on collisions and rear-end collisions, it is important that the display device 10 according to the invention is designed in such a way that a display unit 20 swung out in a working position G is immediately swung back into the non-working position N, so that when a predetermined minimum level of deceleration is exceeded, the display unit 20 easily releases the interior 3 of the vehicle 1.

[0067] According to a further aspect of the present invention, various safety devices 70 are formed on the display device 10.

[0068] Accordingly, it shows Figure 12 In a schematic and perspective side view, another embodiment of the display unit 10 according to the invention with a slip clutch 71 as a safety device 70 in a service position G.

[0069] In this case, the slip clutch 71 is designed as a component between the first guide elements 51 defining the axis of rotation 61 and the guide rails 55.

[0070] The Figures 13 to 15 show in schematic side view the in Figure 12 The illustrated embodiment of the display unit 10 according to the invention is shown in various positions N and G in the interior 3 of a vehicle 1 according to the invention, which are assumed in the event of an accident.

[0071] Due to the design of the first guide elements 51 with slip clutch 71 as part of a safety unit 70, a force is transmitted to the first guide elements 51 via the coupling with the coupling lever 53 and locked second guide elements 52 when a deceleration exceeding a minimum value occurs, so that when a limit force is exceeded, which can be related to a limit deceleration or limit acceleration, for example with a value of 5 g or above, the first guide elements 51 start to move and move in the guide rails 55 towards the rear of the vehicle 1, so that the display unit 20, as described in the Figures 13 to 15 As shown, it folds forward into the non-use position N, so that the interior 3 of the vehicle 1 is easily and quickly released.

[0072] The Figures 16 to 18The schematic side view shows another embodiment of the display unit according to the invention, which has a predetermined bending point 53-3 on or in the coupling lever 53 as a safety unit 70, in various positions in the interior 3 of a vehicle 1 according to the invention, which are assumed in the event of an accident.

[0073] The predetermined bending point 53-3 thus functions as a specific mechanical weak point which gives way when a breakaway force is exceeded, so that the coupling lever leaves its linear original shape, bends and thus, with the first guide element 51 locked or braked and in particular also movement of the second guide element 52 from the rear of the vehicle 1, allows the display unit 20 to fold forward, so that the display unit 20 pivots forward towards the headliner 5 and thus into the non-use position N, so that the interior 3 of the vehicle 1 is immediately released.

[0074] These and other features and characteristics of the present invention are further explained below: Folding monitors in the roof area are already known from public transport and various other vehicles. These fold the monitor into a position swiveled away from the roof, for example, into a vertical position, via a single-joint hinge at the front edge of the monitor. Longitudinal adjustability is not provided.

[0075] The folding motion brings the monitor close to the viewers' heads. Due to the lack of an adjustment option for the horizontal position, the monitor cannot be adjusted for different uses, such as touch operation, compared to a cinema position with maximum distance between the monitor and the viewer's eye.

[0076] According to the invention, a rail system with guide rails 55 is mounted laterally on the left and right sides of the vehicle 1 in the area of ​​the headliner 5, wherein the guide rails 55 extend essentially in a longitudinal direction X of the vehicle 1. In the embodiments of the present invention shown in the figures, two sliders on each side, as first and second guide elements 51 and 52 respectively, can be driven by corresponding electric motors as drives 81, 82.

[0077] The rear slider in the vehicle, in particular the first slider 51, receives the rotation axis 61 of the monitor as a display unit 20 and / or defines the rotation axis 61.

[0078] The respective front slider, as the second guide element 52 according to the present invention, engages or forms a rotatable coupling to a coupling lever 53. Moving or propelling the rear or first sliders 51, while the front or second sliders 52 are stationary, results in an unfolding or tilt adjustment via the relative movement of the sliders 51 and 52 – with the second slider 52 stationary.

[0079] The coupling lever 53 lowers the monitor display unit 20 on the side facing away from the head of an occupant, so that maximum clearance is maintained between the head of the occupant and the monitor as display unit 20.

[0080] If the front and rear sliders 51 and 52 move synchronously, that is, with an identical range of motion and without relative movement between the sliders as first and second guide elements 51 and 52 in accordance with the present invention, then a purely longitudinal adjustment occurs, i.e., in particular parallel to the longitudinal extension direction X of the vehicle 1, without the inclination of the monitor as display unit 20 changing.

[0081] The kinematics according to the invention, which is formed in the manner described by the interaction of the first and second guide elements or sliders 51, 52, the guide rails 55 with guide track 56 and the coupling levers 53, enables folding in and out, i.e. assuming a working position or a non-working position, adjusting the inclination and / or adjusting the position of the display unit 20 in the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle 1.

[0082] The lowering or swiveling of the monitor as display unit 20 is carried out with the maximum possible clearance or free space between the head of an occupant and the monitor as display unit 20. This reduces the risk of injury.

[0083] Traditionally, a monitor can only be positioned as a display unit within the unobstructed area of ​​a trajectory analysis. Consequently, only relatively small monitors with a limited footprint are possible, and these may also require ergonomically unfavorable mounting positions.

[0084] In the folding kinematics proposed according to the invention for the monitor as a display unit 20, for example a predetermined failure point, such as a predetermined buckling point, can be provided with a predefinable or adjustable force level.

[0085] Furthermore, the geometric position of the center of gravity of the monitor as display unit 20, a kinematics and a predetermined failure point can be arranged such that the display device 10, when a deceleration exceeding a predetermined minimum occurs, removes the monitor from the interior 3 of the vehicle 1 by its inertia.
