  • Patent number: 5951073
    Abstract: A new extendable vehicle bumper for warning a driver of a vehicle that their vehicle is coming close to contact with an object such as a wall or another vehicle. The inventive device includes an elongate contact bumper with a plurality of telescopic fluidic piston-cylinder actuators coupled to one side of the contact bumper. Each of the telescopic fluidic piston-cylinder actuators has a mounting portion for attachment to the bumper area of a vehicle. A remote controller is electrically connected to the telescopic fluidic piston-cylinder actuator. The remote controller has an actuator and a warning indicator. The actuator of the remote controller permits selective extending and retracting of the telescopic fluidic piston-cylinder actuators. The warning indicator warns a user when the telescopic fluidic piston-cylinder actuators are pushed from the extended position towards the retracted position by the contact bumper.
