Electric body trim guard for automobiles

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An electric body trim guard for automobiles comprising a body trim channel containing solenoids and compression springs, said solenoids working against said compression springs, and means to electrically activate said solenoids to overcome the compression springs.
2.
An electric body trim guard for automobiles of claim 1, wherein the solenoid magnetic poles and assembly is extended outwardly to stops by means of compression springs, when said solenoids are deactivated.
3.
An electric body trim guard assembly for automobiles of claim 2 wherein solenoids are activated by an electric current through an ignition switch of said automobiles as means to retract solenoid armature pole and body trim guard assembly attached thereto.




Description:
Automobiles are subject to scratches, bumps and similar damage to the sides, particularly to the door sections.
This present invention is to disclose means to protect automobiles from such damage by extendable body trim guards.
This invention may be briefly summarized as a guard for automobile sides and door panels, said guard comprised of a body trim guard actuated to extend outward from side panels by compression springs and withdrawing of the body trim guard from its outward extension by action of electrical solenoids to overcome the compression springs.
It is an object of this invention to disclose means to protect the sides and/or door panels of automobiles from damage by means of a body trim guard which is mounted on the outer panels of automobile doors and/or side panels and is extendable and retractable.
It is another object of this invention to disclose electrically actuated body trim guard.
It is another object of this invention to disclose means of extending body trim guard outwardly from the outer surface of side door panels of automobiles, by action of springs under compression, when the electric power is turned off of solenoids which had held the trim guard in a retracted position.
Another object of this invention is to disclose an electric body trim guard assembly for protection of door panels of automobiles comprising a movable body trim guard and means to extend said movable body trim guard outward from said door panels and means to retract said movable body trim guard by electrical activation of solenoids, said electrical activation actuated by ignition switch of said automobile
