Abstract
A barrier for a vehicle that comprises a main section adapted to reside in a vehicle footwell and the main section has a width that is defined between opposite first and second ends thereof that is about half of a width of the vehicle footwell. A divider section is disposed substantially perpendicularly to the main section. The divider section is configured to rest on a vehicle seat. The divider section defines a length between opposite first and second ends thereof. The length of the divider section is substantially the distance from one of the first and second ends of the main section to a back of the vehicle seat, whereby the divider section is configured to define first and second discrete areas in the vehicle such that the divider section is located between the first and second discrete areas.
Claims28
A barrier for a vehicle, comprising of:
- first and second substantially solid identical sections, said first and second sections being adapted to reside in a vehicle footwell between first and second vehicle seats, each of said sections including,
- opposite first and second main panels,
- opposite first and second side panels extending between said first and second main panels,
- opposite first and second end panels extending between said first and second main panels and between said first and second side panels,
- wherein a thickness of each section is defined by the distance between said first and second main panels, said thickness being substantially equal to the shortest distance between the first and second seats, and
- wherein one of said first and second side panels includes a mating surface having a fastener for coupling the first and second sections.
A barrier for a vehicle, comprising of:
- a plurality of substantially solid sections, said sections being adapted to reside in a vehicle footwell between first and second vehicle seats, each of said sections including,
- opposite first and second main panels wherein a thickness of each section is defined by the distance between said first and second main panels, said thickness being substantially equal to the shortest distance between the first and second seats,
- opposite first and second side panels extending between said first and second main panels wherein a width of each section is defined by the distance between said first and second side panels, and
- opposite first and second end panels extending between said first and second main panels and between said first and second side panels wherein a height of each section is defined by the distance between said first and second end panels, said height being substantially equal to at least the height of the first seat.
A barrier for a vehicle, comprising of:
- at least one substantially solid section adapted to reside in a vehicle footwell between front and rear vehicle seats, said at least one section including,
- opposite first and second main panels wherein a thickness of said at least one section is defined by the distance between said first and second main panels, said thickness being substantially equal to the shortest distance between the front and rear seats,
- opposite first and second side panels extending between said first and second main panels wherein a width of said at least one section is defined by the distance between said first and second side panels,
- opposite first and second end panels extending between said first and second main panels and between said first and second side panels wherein a height of said at least one section is defined by the distance between said first and second end panels, said height being substantially equal to at least the height of the front seat, and
- a cut-out portion, wherein said cut-out portion is shaped to substantially conform to the shape of a hump of the footwell of the vehicle.
A barrier for a vehicle, comprising of:
- at least one section adapted to reside in a vehicle footwell between first and second vehicle seats, said at least one section including,
- opposite first and second main panels,
- opposite first and second side panels extending between said first and second main panels,
- opposite first and second end panels extending between said first and second main panels and between said first and second side panels,
- wherein a thickness of said at least one section is defined by the distance between said first and second main panels, said thickness being substantially equal to the shortest distance between said first and second seats, and
- wherein said at least one section is substantially foam, substantially solid, or substantially rigid.
