Safety device for protecting pedestrians and cyclists in impact with front of passenger vehicle, moves hood from rest to impact position by means of magnetic force

摘要

The device moves the front hood (9) of the vehicle from a rest position into an impact position by means of a magnetic force (F) acting at least indirectly between the front hood and the body (12) of the vehicle. The lifting arrangement has a fixed magnetic part (15) and a movable magnetic part (17), at least one of which is stimulated electromagnetically.
