VEHICLE-CABIN SAFETY NET ASSEMBLY

摘要

A vehicle-cabin safety net assembly (50) includes a net mesh (60) which is operable to assume a non-deployed compact state, and a deployed extended state. The net mesh (60) when deployed forms a barrier to hinder movement of objects impacting thereonto. The net mesh (60) is provided with one or more spring strips (150, 160) therealong. The one or more spring strips are pre-stressed so as to cause the net mesh (60) to assume its non-deployed compact state in rolled-up form. Moreover, the net mesh (60) further includes a fastening arrangement at two of its peripheral edges (70, 80) for coupling the net mesh (60) to structures of the vehicle cabin (20) when the safety net assembly (50) is in its deployed extended state. The safety net assembly (50) is of benefit in that its simplicity of construction renders it more attractive for users of the vehicle (10) to employ, thereby potentially enhancing safety of the vehicle (10).
