<p>The invention relates to a floor for the interior of a motor vehicle having at least one area made of fracture-prone material (space wheel recess 3 made of plastic). According to the invention, the floor of the interior of the vehicle is covered, at least in the area of the fracture-prone material (space wheel recess 3), by means of an expandable, largely gas-tight and tear-resistant cover (carpet 7). In the case of a fracture or rupture in the floor or the spare wheel recess (3) due to an impact, a direct connection between the exterior and the interior of the vehicle is thus not produced so that for example inflammable fuel gases cannot pass into the interior of the vehicle from a damaged vehicle fuel tank or the deformed engine compartment of another vehicle involved in the accident. In addition, possible sharp fracture edges are covered. In this way, the interior of the vehicle as a whole is made safer. …<IMAGE>… </p> |
