Pedestrian protection device for a motor vehicle

摘要

A pedestrian protection device for a motor vehicle, includes a front flap that is connected to a body of the motor vehicle by means of at least one coupling device and at least one adjusting device, by means of which adjusting device the front flap, by way of at least one actuator, can be moved into a protective position that is raised relative to the body of the motor vehicle and can be fixed in the protective position, wherein the at least one actuator is connected to the corresponding coupling device and to the front flap by means of a coupling joint, the coupling joint including a joint head and a joint socket unit that receives the joint head, the joint socket unit having a joint socket and a retaining element that at least partially surrounds the joint socket. The joint head has a joint head end region that visibly interacts with a recess in the joint socket unit.
