Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a de ⁇ ice for shielding from solar irradiation and the like, which can be installed on means of transport, and in particular to a sunshield flap for the safety and comfort of passengers and/or of a driver of a means of transport.
  • the present invention relates to the field of the manufacturing of accessories for means of transport, more specifically to the production of systems for protecting from solar or artificial irradiation, by shielding, intended to improve the travel conditions of passengers and/or driver of vehicles, particularly motor vehicles, as well as to increase their safety thanks to the optimization of the visibility.
  • the present invention generally finds useful employ in all means of transport, like e.g. the motor vehicles, which have driver's compartments and/or passenger areas integrating substantially see-through regions, for controlling the route and/or opening up the view on the outside environment, in a front and side position with respect to the means of transport.
  • means of transport like e.g. the motor vehicles, which have driver's compartments and/or passenger areas integrating substantially see-through regions, for controlling the route and/or opening up the view on the outside environment, in a front and side position with respect to the means of transport.
  • the sunshield flaps typically provided on means of transport and motor vehicles are composed of a shielding surface that is lowered from a resting position, adjacent to the compartment roof, to an operative position, adjacent to the windshield mounted frontally to the compartment, apt to offer protection from solar or artificial irradiation when the light source is located frontally to the path followed.
  • a sunshield flap of the above-illustrated type can be designed so as to allow also the uncoupling thereof from the anchoring spot located on the compartment roof, and therefore the rotation to a side window, so as to offer protection from the irradiation coming on the side of the means of transport, when the light source is located sideways with respect to the path followed.
  • a sunshield flap according to the current state of the art is structured so as to offer effective protection from the inconvenience caused by a light irradiated by a light source only when the light comes, at a given instant, substantially from a single direction, front or side with respect to the path followed by the concerned means of transport.
  • the conventional sunshield flaps protect merely alternatively from front or side irradiation with respect to the direction of travel of the means of transport to which they are applied and tend to leave wide zones uncovered, so that no effective shielding from light and heat is offered to driver and passengers.
  • the flaps in use have to be shifted according to contingent needs, without guarantee of a continual protection of the driver or passenger when traveling along road sections with more or less marked bends and/or with frequent changes of direction. Accordingly, due to how the sunshield flap is currently contrived and structured, installed e.g. on cars, one is unavoidably compelled to shift and/or rotate it each time the sun is beside or in front of the direction of travel.
  • the irradiation-shielding devices currently in use and integrated on means of transport do not allow to obtain an efficient protection from irradiation incoming, at a given instant, from a plurality of directions, and jointly imply, by passengers and driver of a means of transport, a continual intervention of adjusting with respect to the incoming direction of the light, incidentally preventing the driver of a means of transport from concentrating on the driving without distractions.
  • object of the present invention is to solve said problems, by providing a partitionable and/or extensible shielding device for shielding from solar irradiation and the like as defined in claim 1.
  • the shielding device assures an effective protection from solar irradiation and the like, simultaneously incoming from plural directions, and in particular from irradiation jointly front and side with respect to the path followed by a means of transport to which the former is applied.

Abstract

Un dispositif (1) pour se protéger du rayonnement solaire et/ou du rayonnement provenant de sources génériques de lumière, qui peut se monter sur des moyens de transport comprenant typiquement un habitacle (100) pourvu d'un panneau d'observation protecteur (20), communément appelé parebrise, monté en façade dudit habitacle (100); et des ouvertures latérales d'observation (30), communément appelées fenêtres. Ce dispositif de protection (1) comprend un premier volet de protection frontal (2) pouvant se fixer au plafond (50) de l'habitacle (100) du moyen de transport, et pouvant s'abaisser d'une position de repos contre le plafond (50) en une position d'utilisation contre le parebrise (20). Le dispositif est en outre caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un deuxième volet latéral de protection (3) couplé rotatif au premier volet de protection frontal (2), qui peut se loger dans un siège (4) intégré par le premier volet de protection frontal (2) quand il est en position de repos et par le siège (4) se dépliant latéralement par rapport audit habitacle (100) jusqu'à se positionner sur les fenêtres (30). La configuration fait que le dispositif de protection (1) offre une protection contre le rayonnement d'une source de lumière lorsque la source de lumière est placée par rapport au moyen de transport de façon à produire son rayonnement de façon concomitante de face et latéralement par rapport au chemin suivi.
