Patent ID: 11208056

Abstract:
A vehicular apron is provided. The vehicular apron is dimensioned and adapted to extend the length of a door of the vehicle at its outward-most portion, thereby absorbing damage that would otherwise be imparted into the underlying door. The vehicular apron provides clips at each end for slipping on and off of a lip of the door only when the door is in an open position, whereby unintentional removal of the vehicular apron is nearly impossible when the door is in the closed position. Magnets along an inward first surface may also secure the vehicular apron to the door. A bellow strip or a plurality of spaced apart bellow piles may be provided along each apron. The bellow strip and bellow piles have accordion sidewalls which facilitate the bellow strip or pile being urged between a uninflated condition and an expanded condition for absorbing impact.
