ABSTRACT:
A protector has been invented for positioning in a space between two vehicles, one positioned behind the other the protector including a protective member configured to fit into the space between the two vehicles, and movement apparatus connected to the protective member for accommodating relative movement between the two vehicles. In one aspect the protector is formed of flexible material such as screening, mesh, metal foil, cloth, canvas, fencing, fiberglass, nylon and plastic. In another aspect the protector has a sub-member formed of or secured to the protective member and positioned to protect the protective member from effects of a vehicle exhaust adjacent the protective member when the protector is emplaced between two vehicles. In another aspect the protector has a protective member with a periphery and four sides and four corners, a cable movably disposed through a channel formed around the periphery of the protective member, the cable having exposed portions at two corners or at each of the four corners of the protective member, and one or more first pulleys spaced apart and connected to a first vehicle, the pulley(s) spaced apart and connected to a second vehicle interconnected to the first vehicle, and the cable movable on all the pulleys. A spring or springs may be used with the pulleys, in place of the pulleys, or in place of two of the pulleys at either end of the protective member.
