Bumper protection device for an automobile

摘要

A bumper protection device for an automobile including a parallel track mounted to an underside of an automobile, a bumper shield continuously disposed atop the parallel track, a pair of spring loaded hinges, a linear actuator, a central processing unit, and a power connector. The bumper shield has an extended position and an alternate retracted position. The central processing unit is configured to activate the linear actuator to transport the bumper shield along the parallel track to the extended position when a user selectively engages an automobile in a parking gear. The central processing unit is configured to activate the linear actuator to transport the bumper shield along the parallel track to the retracted position when the user selectively engages the automobile from the parking gear to an alternate gear.

1. A bumper protection device for an automobile comprising:
a parallel track comprising a first track and a second track, the first track and the second track mounted to an underside of an automobile proximal a front end of the automobile and alternately proximal a back end of the automobile, each of the first track and the second track having a front edge and a back edge; a bumper shield continuously disposed beneath the parallel track, the bumper shield having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front end, a back end, a right side, and a left side; wherein the first track is configured to engage the bumper shield top surface proximal the right side; wherein the second track is configured to engage the bumper shield top surface proximal the left side; a pair of spring loaded hinges comprising a first spring loaded hinge and a second spring loaded hinge, each of the first spring loaded hinge and the second spring loaded hinge attached to the bumper shield back end proximal the right side and the bumper shield back end proximal the left side, respectively; a linear actuator attached to the parallel track; wherein the linear actuator is configured to horizontally transport the bumper shield along the parallel track; a central processing unit disposed within the automobile; and a power connector having a right end and a left end, each of the right end and the left end attached to the linear actuator and a power source within the automobile, respectively; wherein the central processing unit, the linear actuator, and the power source are in operational communication with each other; wherein the bumper shield has an extended position and an alternate retracted position; wherein the bumper shield is in the extended position when each of the first spring loaded hinge and the second spring loaded hinge is disposed proximal the front edge of each of the first track and the second track, respectively; wherein the bumper shield and the parallel track are substantially perpendicularly disposed and the bumper shield is proximally disposed substantially parallel to a bumper of the automobile proximal the front end and alternately proximal the back end when the bumper shield is in the extended position; wherein a width of the bumper shield substantially conforms to a width of the bumper on the automobile; wherein the bumper shield is in the retracted position when the bumper shield is disposed below the underside of the automobile on the parallel track; wherein the central processing unit is configured to activate the linear actuator to transport the bumper shield along the parallel track to the extended position when a user selectively engages the automobile in a parking gear; wherein the central processing unit is configured to activate the linear actuator to transport the bumper shield along the parallel track to the retracted position when the user selectively engages the automobile from the parking gear to an alternate gear.
