Safety device for absorbing shocks in body parts

摘要

The invention relates to a safety device for absorbing shocks in body parts 2 for two-door or four-door vehicles which is composed of an absorbing element which extends around the circumference of the vehicle and is connected to the body part 2, the absorbing element being a driving means 5a, 5b, 6, 10, 13a, 13b, 13c which is fastened at reinforced deflection and/or holding points 3, 4a, 4b, 7, 8, 14, 15, 17b, 19 which are close to the circumference and, in particular, interact with a crush zone in the vehicle body 1. This has the advantage over conventional absorbing elements that in the event of an impact, the energy of the impact is deflected via the steel cables from the side parts into the front or rear regions of the vehicle, so that the crush zones of the vehicle can also be used to absorb the impact energy. <IMAGE>
