Deformation device, particularly for motor vehicle for initializing pedestrian protection and vehicle with deformation device, has plastic deformable deformation element

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The deformation device has a plastic deformable deformation element (1). The element is displaceable mounted in firmly connected guide housings (2) with a vehicle structure (17,18). A bolting device is provided for optional locking or unlocking of the deformation element at the guide housing. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is included for impact protection method for use with a deformation device. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Deformation device, particularly for motor vehicle for initializing pedestrian protection and vehicle with deformation device (Claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The bolting device is provided for optional locking or unlocking of the deformation element at the guide housing, and hence ensures a simple and improved adjustable deformation device with cost-effective manufacturing. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic partial sectional view of components of a deformation device. 1 : Deformation element 2 : Guide housings 3 : Brake lever 5 : Bolt 17,18 : Vehicle structure.
