Description

Technical field

The invention relates to a flexible separation protection for Commercial vehicles, which by material, shape easy handling, flexible, through is visible and protection by separating the front their, rear or side seats from each other other in passenger cars or other persons as well as animal or goods transport utility vehicles, Mobile homes enabled.

The base material must be transparent, flexible, and be impact resistant, risk of injury due to the Separation protection in the event of an accident must not only be avoided will, but the general injury risk should be further reduced, a softer up bulging - fall protection for z. B. not during transport strapped animals, other transport goods, reached will.

The starting point for the invention was an essential one high need for protection of all taxis - as well as rental cars drivers who face significant threats every day exposed to abuses in everyday work are.  

To prevent threats from stabbing and firing weapons, had to have a psychologically effective barrier, pre ventive form to deter possible perpetrators, ge against direct attacks.

The entire protective device had to be handled uncomplicated, - central, secure against attack, only by the driver to attach or detach the seat.
