Abstract
A device for subdividing vehicle cabs and/or storage spaces into a number of sub-portions, comprising a number of deformable walls and a drive unit for moving the walls between an open position, in which the walls do not subdivide the cab and/or the storage space, and a closure position, in which the walls subdivide the cab and/or the storage space into the sub-portions. The walls become deformed during movement between the closure position and the open position. Also included is a method for subdividing vehicle cabs and/or storage spaces into a number of sub-portions and a vehicle.
Claims13
A device for subdividing a vehicle cab and/or storage space into a number of sub-portions, comprising:
- one or more deformable walls;
- and
- a drive unit for moving the one or more deformable walls between an open position, in which the walls do not subdivide the cab and/or the storage space, and a closure position, in which the walls subdivide the cab and/or the storage space into the sub-portions, wherein the walls become deformed during movement between the closure position and the open position, wherein the walls are bendable and/or foldable, and wherein the walls comprise bendable and/or foldable glass.
A device for subdividing a vehicle cab and/or storage space into a number of sub-portions, comprising:
- one or more deformable walls;
- and
- a drive unit for moving the one or more deformable walls between an open position, in which the wall do not subdivide the cab and/or the storage space, and a closure position, in which the wall subdivide the cab and/or the storage space into the sub-portions, wherein the walls become deformed during movement between the closure position and the open position, wherein the device has a guide device for guiding the walls inside the cab and/or the storage space, and wherein the guide device has one or more redirecting rollers, with which the walls can be bent about one or more selectable angles.
A device for subdividing space in a vehicle into sub-portions, comprising:
- a deformable wall;
- a drive unit for moving the deformable wall between an open position in which the walls do not subdivide the space and a closure position in which the wall subdivide the space, wherein the wall becomes deformed during movement between the closure position and the open position, wherein the wall is bendable and/or foldable, and wherein the wall comprises bendable and/or foldable glass.
