Description

Protector for walls and columns of garages

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a protector for garage walls and columns, of the type formed by elastic and impact and pressure absorbing plates, which are placed on the walls and columns of the garage or parking area to avoid bumps and scratches on vehicles.

Field of application of the invention

This invention is applicable in the field of manufacture of construction accessories, and more specifically parking and garage accessories.

Background of the invention

Garages and parking in enclosures closed, such as basements of buildings, for example, pose a considerable problem to the drivers, due to the little space available and that many times the lighting is not enough to the maneuvers that are performed when parking any vehicle.

Thus, it is common that during such maneuvers the exterior surface of the vehicle body is damaged by impact or rub against the rigid and aggressive surface of columns, walls.

To avoid or minimize these damages, they are used protectors formed by plates or plates of soft, shock absorbing materials that are placed in the columns and on the walls. These protectors have a constitution flat and of certain thickness that are fixed by adhesion, of such that at the time of friction or low speed impact of the vehicle, deform avoiding contact between the body and the wall or column, avoiding damage to the vehicle.

In a typical case, the iron is made in polyethylene or polyurethane, using a layer on the outer face made of leatherette that gives it a finish and acts as a scratch protection. The intermediate plate is fixed to the wall by a layer of adhesive water dispersible acrylic.

These protectors present some problems considerable in its use. Polyethylene is a product. fuel with M2d classification and reaction to fire and producing a large amount of fumes in its combustion. In addition, polyethylene, although flexible, it does not adapt well to be folded in corners and tight curves, so it tends to recover its configuration extended. A third problem of polyethylene as a material of intermediate plate is that it has a surface tension very high, so that the adhesive layer does not penetrate the inside the material and this adhesive has a tendency to peel off over time, especially when the protector is installed in outdoor parking. This adhesive, mainly an adhesive water dispersible acrylic, stays stuck on the wall, but not Hold the protective piece that ends up falling.

These protectors are coated with a sheet Faux leather exterior that protects polyethylene from scratches and reduces retraction, but the retraction behavior of the Polyethylene causes it to take off too. In addition, the leatherette considerably increases the cost of the protector.

The applicant of the present invention ignores the existence of antecedents that resolve so satisfactory the exposed problem, in what refers to the obtaining adequate protection against bumps and scratches and permanent fixing of the protector to the surface to be coated.

Description of the invention

The protector for garage walls and columns object of this invention, presents some technical peculiarities intended to offer greater adaptability, a fixation permanent to the wall or surface to be covered, preventing the protector detach from it, and a longer lifespan, without showing deterioration due to premature aging.

This protector is of the type that includes an intermediate plate made of flexible and shock absorbing material comprising on its outer face a protective sheet anti-scratch and on its inner face a layer of adhesive for its fixing on walls and columns for protection against friction and damage to the body of the vehicles.

According to the invention, the iron intermediate is made of elastomeric rubber, the outer sheet It is a PVC tarpaulin with fire resistance treatment and with a inner reinforcement of polyamide, and the adhesive layer comprises a network of threads. This layer of adhesive is covered by a disposable protective sheet, which is removed at the time of installation.

The elastomeric rubber plate has a better reaction to fire, defined as class material B-S3, d0, and therefore suitable for use in a garage or parking. The intermediate elastomeric rubber plate it is more flexible when bending or arching, without recovering its original configuration This adaptability allows placement of the protector in corners and around cylindrical columns. In addition, the elastomeric rubber intermediate plate supports a Better fixation of the acrylic adhesive layer.

The network of threads of the adhesive layer It mainly comprises polyamide threads, with which improves the mechanical stability of the protector against retraction for time and temperature. This improves the fixation of the protective, even outdoors and subjected to the weather.

The outer sheet of PVC tarpaulin has a economic cost of manufacture and a high duration.

The intermediate elastomeric rubber plate has an approximate density of 65 kilograms per cubic meter, which is greater than the density of approximately 30 kilograms per cubic meter of polyethylene. This higher density allows a better behavior of the protector when a car presses it, absorbing more energy, and therefore avoiding to a greater extent the risk of damage to the
vehicle.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows an exploded view of a plate portion of the protector of the invention.

- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a plate portion of the inventive protector
tion.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures referenced, the protector comprises an intermediate plate (1) of elastomeric rubber, with a certain thickness, than on the outer face has an outer sheet (2) of canvas attached by adhesive PVC with fire resistance treatment and internal reinforcement of polyamide. The intermediate plate (1) has on its rear face a layer of water dispersible acrylic adhesive (3), being a network of polyamide threads (4) to reduce the effect of retraction. On this layer of adhesive (3) is a sheet disposable (5) of protection until the moment of placement on a wall or column, absorbing the intermediate plate (1) of rubber elastomeric impacts and pressures made by the body of vehicles during their maneuvers.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment example, is for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
