Impact energy absorbing device for automobile positioned in region of wheel housing has force storage element and plastically-deformable deformation body

摘要

The impact energy absorbing device (1) is positioned in the region of the wheel housing for an automobile wheel and has force storage element (3) for operation of a plastically-deformable deformation body (4), moved from a rest position (A), in which it is held by a releasable restraint (10), into a deformation position in response to a collision impact. A fixing device blocks the deformation body in its deformation position and a stop (6,6') limits its movement in the direction of the automobile wheel.
