#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a flat damping plate (6) arranged below a carpet that covers a floor space (1), where the damping plate is provided with a defined thickness. The damping plate is formed by two damping sections (6a, 6b), where one of the damping sections is movable by a tension spring and a gas cylinder, which are activated during accidents in such a manner that the double thickness of the damping plate is present in the area of a footrest (5) of a passenger. The damping sections are movable to each other and actuated by the tension spring. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Safety device for a motor vehicle for protecting lower extremities of a passenger during accident-caused deformation of the underbody and/or the front wall of the body of the motor vehicle in the floor space range. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The damping plate is formed by the damping sections, where one of the damping sections is movable by the tension spring and the gas cylinder, which are activated during accidents in such a manner that the double thickness of the damping plate is present in the area of the footrest of the passenger, thus providing sufficient floor space in the regular operating condition of the motor vehicle with usual damping of driving noises, and simultaneously creating an increased safety damping of the lower extremities of the passengers in case of accidents. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side view of a safety device with a divided damping plate in the area of the floor space of a motor vehicle in a regular operating condition. 1 : Floor space 4 : Lower extremities 5 : Footrest 6 : Flat damping plate 6a, 6b : Damping sections. |
