An escort vehicle, also called a pilot vehicle in most areas, is an automobile used to alert other road users of an upcoming trucks with large loads, convoys of large vehicles or to guide motorists through construction sites.

"We thought there should be a way to protect the windshield and body of an escort vehicle from being cracked or damaged while traveling with a mobile home," said one of two inventors, from Attalla, Ala., "so we invented the WINDSHIELD GUARDIAN. Our design would block out dirt and debris to keep the trailing escort or any other following vehicle protected."

The invention protects a trailing escort truck when transporting a new mobile home. In doing so, it offers a physical barrier. As a result, it reduces the risk of damage associated with high-speed rocks and other debris. It also provides added protection and peace of mind.

InventHelp refers inventors to independent patent attorneys for patent-related services. InventHelp submits invention ideas to companies that have agreed to confidentially review them. InventHelp is a company that helps inventors develop their ideas and bring them to market.

The invention features a durable and weatherproof design that is easy to use so it is ideal for owners of mobile homes, trucking companies, etc. Additionally, a prototype model and technical drawings are available upon request.

They are also used to guide aircraft taxiing from the runway to the apron at many airports. In most instances, pilot vehicles are provided by companies that specialize in convoy escort, although escort duties are occasionally performed by police vehicles.

The original design was submitted to the Birmingham sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
