INTERFACE FOR ATTACHING A VEHICLE FLOOR AND AN ENGINE CRADLE TO EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO ATTENUATING THE LAW OF DECELERATION DURING A FRONTAL IMPACT

摘要

The invention relates to an interface (101) for attaching a vehicle floor to an engine cradle. The device allows the compressibility of the front block of a vehicle to be increased in a controlled manner. The interface comprises an assembly region (114) for receiving attaching means for attaching the cradle to the floor. Said assembly region (114) comprises a guiding slot (140) for facilitating a defined maximum approach of the cradle and the floor towards each other in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle following a frontal impact of the vehicle.
