  • Vehicle with safety device
    Patent number: 4093290
    Abstract: A safety vehicle incorporating an impact member, a collision sensor and a safety device. When the vehicle collides with a typical pedestrian, he is struck by the impact member, which is so placed that it tends to make him fall onto a surface of the vehicle, e.g. the bonnet. The safety device, responding to the sensor, then moves from a stowed position to an operating position in which it restrains him from falling off the surface again. The stowed location of the device and its path of movement to its operating position are chosen so that it does not impede, but may actually assist, the movement of the pedestrian onto the bonnet.
