As such, the present disclosure should be construed to extend to any alterations, equivalents and substitutes in addition to those which are particularly set out in the accompanying drawings. Although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are generally only used to distinguish one element from another.

[0035] Accordingly, the embodiments herein provide a shielding apparatus for a light vehicle. The shielding apparatus includes a base platform mounted on a portion of the light vehicle for installing the shielding apparatus on the light vehicle. The base platform includes a front hinge and a plurality of grooves. Further, the shielding apparatus includes a vertical frame connected to the base frame at the front hinge and to at least one set of grooves of the plurality of grooves for locking a position of the vertical frame. The vertical frame includes a fixed transparent screen and a rotatable transparent screen for providing visibility to a rider of the light vehicle; and a shield mounted on a top portion of the vertical frame to provide protection to the rider of the light vehicle.

[0036] In the conventional shielding apparatus are used for creating just a shade above the light vehicle rider with the use of foldable canopies which may be connected to a compartment attached to a portion behind a seat of a pillion rider at one end and to a frame of rods at a front end. The foldable canopies when not in use is pushed back and stored in the compartment. However, the requirement of the compartment requires modifications to the existing light vehicle and also makes the light vehicle bulky and creates uneasiness to the pillion rider.

[0037] Unlike to the conventional shielding apparatus, the proposed shielding apparatus does not require any compartment to which the shield/canopy needs to be attached and stored. The shield of the proposed shielding apparatus is either fixed to the light vehicle or detached completely. Further, there is no need for modification in the existing light vehicle to attach the proposed shielding apparatus which makes it easy to instah/un-instahs by any lay person.

[0038] The conventional shielding apparatus includes the shield or canopy made of lighter and weaker material such as for example fabric which may not be able to withstand wind force or rain water force when the light vehicle is in motion beyond a specific speed. Unlike to the conventional shielding apparatus, the proposed shielding apparatus is not made of fabric and is made of sturdy material such as Fiber-reinforced Polymers, thermosets or thermoplastics. Therefore, the proposed shielding apparatus is capable of withstanding wind force or rain water force when the light vehicle is in motion.

[0039] Unlike to the conventional shielding apparatus, the proposed shielding apparatus is fixed at the base platform to the light vehicle with straps, belts, screws and also grooves due to which the shielding apparatus is held in place against all forms of adverse weather conditions. Also, the shielding apparatus does not come out or become shaky when the rider rides the light vehicle at high speeds. Which makes the proposed shielding apparatus an ideal candidate for use in emergency services such as bike ambulance, police services, etc. Unlike to the conventional shielding apparatus, the shield of the proposed shielding apparatus is attached at only one end to the vertical frame and does not require attachments at the other end which may require additional pipes or frames to be attached at a back portion of the light vehicle.
