No, I was looking for N.V. Protector  ;)  I'm so happy that it's solved that I'll reveal the year myself: 1912

Very well done!  :drink:

Oh, you“re right.

Then I can proudly tell you all, that this device was called the "NV Protector" and it has been invented and sold
by three dutch guys called W. van Egmond, S.S. Wehl and Louis de Jong:

London trams had a device to scoop up someone who would otherwise be run over. Can't find a good picture so this will have to do:

Similar principle to the old American engines with cowcatchers.  Trouble was, they only pushed things to one side rather than actually scooping them up like the ones on the car!
