## Abstract

Vehicle (S), provided with a loading space (L), which comprises a movement device (M1), comprising: a support body (F); a barrier (1), associated with the support body (F) and movable between an active position, in which it protrudes from the support body (F) to interact with an object to be displaced, and an inactive position, in which it is not able to interact with an object to be displaced: a first connecting rod (10), associated with the support body (1) rotatably about a first axis of rotation (X1); a second connecting rod (20), associated with the support body (1) rotatably about a second axis of rotation (X2) parallel to the first axis of rotation (X1); an arm (30), rotatably connected to the first connecting rod (10) and the second connecting rod (20) at a third axis of rotation (X3) and at a fourth axis of rotation (X4) rotatably parallel to the first and the second axis of rotation (X1,X2); wherein the distance between the first axis of rotation (X1) and the third axis of rotation (X3) is equal to the distance between the second axis of rotation (X2) and the fourth axis of rotation (X4).

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicle, comprising a loading space, characterised in that it comprises at least one movement device, comprising:
a support body;
a barrier, associated with the support body and movable between an active position, in which it protrudes from the support body to interact with an object to be displaced, and an inactive position, in which it is not able to interact with an object to be displaced;
wherein the barrier comprises:
a first connecting rod, associated with the support body rotatably about a first axis of rotation;
a second connecting rod, associated with the support body rotatably about a second axis of rotation parallel to the first axis of rotation;
an arm, rotatably connected to the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod at a third axis of rotation and at a fourth axis of rotation respectively parallel to the first and the second axis of rotation;
wherein the distance between the first axis of rotation and the third axis of rotation is equal to the distance between the second axis of rotation and the fourth axis of rotation;
a first motor, associated with the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod and arranged to rotatably operate the first or the second connecting rod about the respective axis of rotation between a rest position, in which the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod and the arm are flanked in a compact configuration, and an operating position, in which the connecting rods are inclined with respect to the arm in an extended configuration.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the axes of rotation are substantially horizontal.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, comprising a second motor connected to the support body and arranged to produce a displacement of the support body along a longitudinal direction parallel to the axes of rotation.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The vehicle according to claim 1, comprising a second barrier, associated with the support body at a prefixed distance from the first barrier, which is substantially equal to the first barrier and is aligned with the first barrier along the axes of rotation.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The vehicle according to claim 4, wherein the second barrier is operated synchronously or independently with respect to the first barrier.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The vehicle according to claim 4, comprising a third barrier, associated with the support body at a prefixed distance from the first barrier, greater than the distance separating the first barrier and the second barrier, wherein said third barrier is substantially equal to the first barrier and is aligned with the first barrier along the axes of rotation.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The vehicle according to claim 6, wherein the third barrier is operated synchronously with the first barrier.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The vehicle, comprising two movement devices according to claim 1, arranged symmetrical and opposite with respect to a vertical plane parallel to the axes of rotation, on the sides of the loading space.

### Claim 9

A vehicle comprising a movement device, comprising:
a support body;
a barrier, associated with the support body and movable between an active position, in which it protrudes from the support body to interact with an object to be displaced, and an inactive position, in which it is not able to interact with an object to be displaced;
wherein the barrier comprises:
a first connecting rod, associated with the support body rotatably about a first axis of rotation;
a second connecting rod, associated with the support body rotatably about a second axis of rotation parallel to the first axis of rotation;
an arm, rotatably connected to the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod at a third axis of rotation and at a fourth axis of rotation respectively parallel to the first and the second axis of rotation, wherein the arm has two thinned portions, a first thinned portion is pivoted to the first connecting rod about the third axis of rotation; a second thinned portion is pivoted to the second connecting rod about the fourth axis of rotation; each connecting rod has a groove profiled in such a way as to house a respective end portion of the arm;
wherein the distance between the first axis of rotation and the third axis of rotation is equal to the distance between the second axis of rotation and the fourth axis of rotation;
a first motor, associated with the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod and arranged to rotatably operate the first or the second connecting rod about the respective axis of rotation between a rest position, in which the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod and the arm are flanked in a compact configuration, and an operating position, in which the connecting rods are inclined with respect to the arm in an extended configuration.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The vehicle of claim 9, wherein each of the first and second connecting rod has a groove profiled in such a way as to house a respective end portion of the arm.
