<p>The invention relates to a bracket arrangement 1suitable to be used for a vehicle hood lifter 103 forming part of a pedestrian collision safety system. The bracket arrangement comprises a hood bracket 2 and a chassis bracket. The bracket arrangement 1 may switch between a first, closed mode (I), wherein a first bracket attachment 6 is locked from being able to pivot by a second bracket attachment 7, and a second, open mode (II) in which the second bracket attachment 7 is released. The bracket arrangement 1 further comprises a crossbar 4 connecting the hood bracket 2 and chassis bracket 3 by being attached by a first crossbar attachment 8 respectively a second crossbar attachment 9. The first crossbar attachment 8 and the second crossbar attachment 9 may move relative said hood bracket 2 and chassis bracket 3 from a first position to a second position when the bracket arrangement changes from the first, closed mode (I) to the second, open mode (II). During this movement are the first and second crossbar attachments 8, 9 maintained while the second bracket attachment 7 is released due to the movement of the crossbar 4. The hood bracket 2 and chassis bracket 3 will pivot relative each other around the first bracket attachment 6 and the crossbar 4 will forma stabiliser between the hood bracket 2 and chassis bracket 3.</p> |
