Abstract
A windbreak device for a motor vehicle, in particular for an open passenger vehicle, has a lower frame which can be attached to the vehicle, an upper frame which is mounted on the lower frame so as to be capable of pivoting about a pivot axis, and at least one flexible, planar windbreak element which is mounted on the frames. In order to simplify the design of such a windbreak device, it is proposed that both frames be of C-shaped construction, with open sides facing the pivot axis, and to provide a common windbreak element, for both frames, attached to both frames.
Claims34
A windbreak device for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a lower frame which can be attached to the vehicle with attachment means,
- an upper frame which is mounted on the lower frame so as to be capable of pivoting about a pivot axis,
- at least one flexible, planar windbreak element which is mounted on the frames, and
- a crossmember which extends between limbs of the upper frame and is attached thereto near to or on the pivot axis,
- wherein both frames have open sides facing the pivot axis, and
- wherein said windbreak element is a common windbreak element attached to both frames and to the crossmember.

- wherein said windbreak element is a common windbreak element provided for both frames and attached to both frames,
- wherein the windbreak element is constructed in such a way that, in an upright position of the upper frame in which the upper frame protrudes upwards from the lower frame, it has a surface, with one or more concave curvatures, on an inner side facing the pivot axis,
- wherein a crossmember is provided which extends between C limbs of the upper frame and is attached thereto by its ends, near to or on the pivot axis, and
- wherein the windbreak element is also attached to the crossmember.
