Roll-over protection system for automobile has locking element preventing unwanted retraction of deployed roll-over protection element

摘要

The roll-over protection system has a roll-over protection element (1) housed in a guide fixed in the automobile and held on a stowed position against the force of at least one deployment spring, used for moving the roll-over protection element into a raised working position. The roll-over protection element is locked in its raised position via a pivoted rotary locking catch, cooperating with an elongate locking element (14) extending in the deployment direction, released via a 2-armed unlocking lever (18).
