ABSTRACT:
A retractable guard mechanism is provided for a vehicle door having a front hinge and a rear edge. The mechanism includes a bumper guard and a first group of elements, secured near to the rear edge of the door, for pivoting the bumper guard to an extended position beyond the rear edge of the door. A second group of elements is secured to the first group of pivoting elements in order to pivot the bumper guard upon impact around the first group. A cable is secured between the front hinge and the rear edge of the door and retracts the bumper guard from its extended position beyond the rear edge of the door. A spring arrangement is secured to the second group of pivoting elements and retracts the bumper guard from rotating around the second group of pivoting elements after the impact is alleviated.
