  • Publication number: 20090033124
    Abstract: A wind bulkhead device for motor vehicles provided with an open bodywork is described. The wind bulkhead can be pivoted between an erected bulkhead position and a rear folded-down position, and covers the space between the head restraints of adjacent seats, in particular adjacent rear seats. The wind bulkhead is stabilized via the head restraints in their extended position by an of elastic knock-over resistance element and, when the head restraints are lowered, can be automatically pivoted from its bulkhead position, in which it is preferably erected manually, into its folded-down position.

  • Patent number: 6554349
    Abstract: A windbreak device for a motor vehicle, in particular for an open passenger vehicle, has a lower frame which can be attached to the vehicle, an upper frame which is mounted on the lower frame so as to be capable of pivoting about a pivot axis, and at least one flexible, planar windbreak element which is mounted on the frames. In order to simplify the design of such a windbreak device, it is proposed that both frames be of C-shaped construction, with open sides facing the pivot axis, and to provide a common windbreak element, for both frames, attached to both frames.
