Abstract
A protective panel for a vehicle substantially conforming to a portion of a vehicle. The protective panel having an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface, the lower surface having a reduced surface area in order to limit force applied to the protective panel and the vehicle. The panel further having an edge portion disposed along a perimeter, between the upper and lower surface, for deflecting obstacles, and one or more mounting points for removably attaching the protection panel to a portion of the exterior of a vehicle.
Claims17
A protective panel for a vehicle, comprising:
- an upper surface;
- a lower surface opposite the upper surface and including at least one pocket;
- an edge portion disposed along a perimeter, between the upper and lower surface, the perimeter configured to substantially conform to a specific portion of the vehicle, and wherein the edge portion comprises a first, front edge closing a portion of at least one of the at least one pocket and comprises a second rear edge, opposite the first edge;
- a reduced lower surface area, wherein a total surface area of the portion of the lower surface configured to contact an obstacle, is a surface area less than a potential total area encompassed by the edge portion disposed along the perimeter;
- and
- at least one mounting point for removably attaching the panel to the vehicle.
A protective panel for a vehicle, comprising:
- an upper surface for engaging the vehicle;
- a lower surface opposite the upper surface;
- a first edge extending from the upper surface to the lower surface and disposed such that the first edge follows generally the shape of a first portion of the vehicle;
- a second edge extending from the upper surface to the lower surface and disposed such that the second edge follows generally a shape of a second portion of the vehicle, and further such that the second edge meets the first edge in order to form a perimeter portion;
- at least one pocket in the lower surface and bounded by the first edge, wherein a resulting surface area of the lower surface is less than a potential surface area encompassed by the perimeter;
- and,
- at least one mounting point for removably attaching the panel.
