Abstract

When trucks, lorries or coaches etc are driven, particularly along narrow country roads, the likelihood of them colliding with over-hanging tree branches etc is great and these have a high chance of damaging the wing mirrors. The purpose of the 'Slippery Pad' is to provide a smooth surface for the branches to slide across and thus prevent damage. The Slippery Pad is made of weather proof materials such as plastic B and corrugated plastic C, located on the edge of the wing mirror and is secured with double sided tape A.

Description

Description: -Background of the invention.
Slippery Pads.
The invention is a device which prevents unnecessary damage to wing mirrors on a variety of vehicles.
When vehicles such as trucks, lorries, coaches etc are used 7 days a week and are well travelled, there is a much increased chance of damage. It has become apparent that a reoccurring issue with these vehicles is that they are brushing against over-hanging trees and bushes ruining the wing mirrors and causing additional maintenance costs.
It was thought that if there was an additional surface on the wing mirror to take the impact this could prevent such damage.
The slippery pads have a smooth surface which makes the branches glide across them and effectively pushes them away.
These pads will be made in different sizes to fit the variety of vehicles and will be supplied in different colours providing a range of options.
Please see below a description of the invention by way of drawings.
