Passenger protection device for people carrier car has catches convertible from position in which element is folded together into position in which element partially overlaps window opening

摘要

The device protects a passenger in a car, especially a people carrier whose passenger cell (2) has at least one window opening that can be closed off. It has at least one catch element (11). Drive devices (18) may be used, in the case of a crash, to convert the system from a home position, in which the catch element is folded together and is arranged in or on a frame section of the window opening (8) so that the catch element does not overlap the window opening, into a catch position in which the catch element is unfolded and at least partially overlaps the window opening.
