Abstract: A variable fender garnish structure of a vehicle is provided and includes a fender garnish coupled to an outer edge part of a wheel guard of a vehicle and made with a shape covering a wheel of the vehicle, a flap member positioned in the rear part of the fender garnish and rotatably coupled to the fender garnish, a driving member rotating the flap member, and a controller driving the driving member to control whether the flap member is rotated or not.
Abstract: A theft barrier assembly includes a plurality of panels. Each panel is pivotally disposed on a bottom side of a vehicle. Each of the panels is positionable in a deployed position to inhibit a person from sliding beneath the vehicle. Each of the panels is positionable in a stored position to facilitate normal operation of the vehicle. Each of a pair of actuating units is movably disposed on the bottom of the vehicle and each of the actuating units urges respective panels into the deployed position and the stored position. A receiver is integrated into the vehicle and the receiver is in electrical communication with each of the actuating units. A remote control is in remote communication with the receiver for remotely controlling the actuating units.
Abstract: For a floor clearing bucket, blade or other component of a machine, a guard including a rigid attachment device and elastomeric wear pad assembly has a bolt or stud fastener mounted sideways to facilitate spacing fasteners to match pre-existing, guard-mounting holes in the component for attaching the guard to the component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a protective roller device for attachment to various kinds of vehicles for prevention of injuries to persons or damages to objects encountered in traffic accidents when persons may stumble or objects may fall under the area of the wheel of the vehicle. The device comprises a set of vertical and parallel arranged protective rollers to be fixed on the car body at a location proximate to the car wheels. The said protective rollers consists of a center shaft and an elastomeric buffer component sheathed around the said shaft for free rotate thereabout. When equipped with said protective roller devices, the car is able to gently push the persons or objects encountered out of the dangerous wheel area and to prevent injuries or damages.
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.
