Device for protecting against the gnawing of martens

摘要

A device for protecting against the gnawing of martens in rubber parts of motor vehicles. The device has a support which may be configured as a frame or a panel and is fitted out for the attachment to the underside of a motor vehicle. In the use position, the support has, in the vicinity of its outer border, individual threads or thread loops which are situated close together and hang down. The sum of the thickness of the support and of the length of the threads is virtually equal to the ground clearance of the motor vehicle or greater than the ground clearance. This is intended to give the impression that there is something underneath the motor vehicle. It has been shown that martens do not go under motor vehicles beneath which objects of any kind are located. The device characterised here fulfils the same purpose, but can remain fixed permanently on the motor vehicle.
