Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a door guard installed in a vehicle, and more specifically, to a vehicle door guard using tension that can protect a wide area while minimizing the attachment surface of the door guard in the vehicle.

[0002] The present invention relates to a door guard installed on the side surface of a vehicle, and more specifically, to a vehicle door guard having a tension structure that allows the height, length, and direction of the door guard installed on the vehicle to be freely adjusted. Background Technology

[0003] Most conventional vehicle door guards attach shock-absorbing materials, such as sponge or polyurethane, to the edges or along the length of the door to cushion impact.

[0004] Conventional adhesive door guards protect the vehicle's paintwork by attaching and securing them to the length of the door using double-sided tape or adhesive. However, they have the disadvantage of damaging the paintwork by leaving adhesive marks and discoloration on the exterior surface when replaced due to damage from external impact or aging.

[0005] To improve this, there is a pad-type door guard that does not use double-sided tape or adhesive, but instead hooks a pad corresponding to the length of the vehicle door onto the door handle so that it can be installed while parked and removed while driving; however, there is the inconvenience of having to attach and detach it every time. In addition, it has the disadvantage of being bulky and difficult to store.

[0006] In addition, existing door guards have the disadvantage that door guards of different lengths must be installed for each vehicle model, as door lengths vary by model.

[0007] In addition, conventional door guards require a guard of a specific size to protect a wide area of ​​the door, which has the disadvantage of reduced aesthetic appeal and increased manufacturing costs. The problem to be solved

[0008] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned conventional problems, and the objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle door guard utilizing tension that allows the door guard attached to the vehicle to be installed without directional restrictions and the length of the door guard to be freely adjusted.

[0009] In addition, the purpose is to provide a vehicle door guard that can be installed by adjusting the height to avoid the curvature of the vehicle door, even if the door has curves.

[0012] In addition, the tension member coupling portion is characterized by having a through hole formed therein through which the tension member can be inserted and penetrated, and the through hole is formed to extend from one end to the other end of the tension member.

[0013] In addition, the through hole is characterized by being formed to extend from the side of the tension member joint to the side or from the side to the bottom surface.

[0014] In addition, it is characterized by including a tension-enhancing member that forms additional tension in the tension member to prevent sagging of the tension member.

[0015] In addition, the tension-enhancing member is characterized by having a plurality of through holes formed therein that can adjust the height of the tension member.

[0016] Preferably, the tension member coupling portion of the vehicle door guard using tension according to another embodiment of the present invention (Figs. 6a, 6b) is characterized by having a plurality of through holes formed therein that can adjust the height of the tension member.

[0017] Preferably, the tension member coupling portion of the vehicle door guard using tension according to another embodiment of the present invention (Fig. 7) is characterized by forming a winding protrusion so that the tension member is wound and the frictional force is increased.

[0018] In addition, the above-mentioned winding protrusion is characterized by having a plurality of catch grooves formed along the height direction, allowing the winding position of the tension member to be adjusted stepwise.

[0019] Preferably, the tension-enhancing portion of a vehicle door guard using tension according to another embodiment of the present invention (Fig. 5b) is characterized by forming a winding protrusion so that the tension member is wound to increase frictional force.

[0020] In addition, the above-mentioned winding protrusion is characterized by having a plurality of locking grooves formed along the height direction, allowing the winding position of the tension member to be adjusted stepwise. Effects of the invention
