Motor vehicle radiator which pivots backwards in event of collision under the force exerted by the impact

摘要

The invention proposes that the vehicle radiator (2) is supported by a frame (10) which can rotate about a pivot (8) guided by an arm (18) the remote end of which can run through guides (19) attached to a fixed frame (9). Normally the radiator is held in position by a spring (16) but in the event of a frontal collision (11) the force of the impact causes the radiator to pivot backwards.
