Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a barrier system that distributes intrusion loads.
- Various safety systems may be found in vehicles to provide protection to the passengers of the vehicle. Such systems include air bags and seat belts. Other systems have yet to address protection against rear cargo load intrusion into the passenger compartment of the vehicle, which could jeopardize the safety of passengers in the vehicle.
- The barrier system according to the present invention provides protection against rear cargo load intrusion into a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The barrier system is located in the rear cargo compartment of the vehicle. The barrier system includes a load bearing barrier net, a first set of attachments that connect the load bearing barrier net to a shelf panel in the rear cargo compartment and a second set of attachments that connect the load bearing barrier net to a wheel house in the rear cargo compartment. The first set of attachments may be removable and the second set of attachments may not be removable. The first set of attachments is connected to the shelf panel via a first set of brackets and the second set of attachments is connected to the wheel house via a second set of brackets.
- FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the barrier system according to the present invention.
- An exemplary embodiment of the barrier system according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. The barrier system provides protection against rear cargo load intrusion into a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The barrier system is located in the rear cargo compartment (not shown) of the vehicle, separating rear cargo from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The barrier system includes a load bearing
barrier net 110. A first set ofattachments 120 is used to connect the load bearingbarrier net 110 to a shelf panel (not shown) in the rear cargo compartment. The load bearingbarrier net 110 is connected to the first set ofattachments 120 at at least two upper regions of the load bearing barrier net. A second set ofattachments 130 is used to connect the load bearingbarrier net 110 to a wheel house (not shown) in the rear cargo compartment. The load bearingbarrier net 110 is connected to the second set ofattachments 130 at at least two lower regions of the load bearingbarrier net 110. - In the exemplary embodiment, the first set of
attachments 120 is removable and the second set ofattachments 130 is not removable. Additionally, the load bearingbarrier net 110 may be formed from a webbing material that is similar to the material used to form vehicle seat belts. - The first set of
attachments 120 is removable and hence provide passenger access to the rear cargo in the rear cargo compartment from the passenger compartment. The first set ofattachments 120 may include a clip that is attachable via a clamp and swivel. A threaded insert cavity may be used to connect the clamp and the swivel. - In the exemplary embodiment, the first set of
attachments 120 is connected to the shelf panel via a first set of brackets (not shown) and the second set ofattachments 130 is bolted to the wheel house via a second set of brackets (not shown).
