Abstract

See full text

A dynamically deployed device shield ('DDDS') including a cover, a loop shield, and a means for attaching the cover and loop shield to a vehicle structure. A dynamically deployed device ('DDD') is contained in the loop shield and the loop shield is in turn contained in the cover. Upon deployment, a tear section in the cover separates and releases the loop shield and DDD. As the DDD expands and moves towards its location, the loop shield unfolds, guides the deployment of the DDD, and prevents the DDD from overshooting its final location. The shield also prevents the DDD from becoming caught on interior vehicle components and supplements the DDD with a larger protective impact surface. Optionally, a fabric shield is attached to the bottom of the DDDS to cover the area of a vehicle window below the deployed DDD and further increase the protective impact surface of the system.
