Shock-absorbing bonnet for motor vehicle for reducing injuries to pedestrians during a collision includes buckling support having at least one molding extending underneath bonnet sheet metal

摘要

The bonnet includes a substructure (1) including at least one buckling support (8,9.1,9.2) having at least one molding (10) projecting towards the metal bonnet top (2), that stretches across an opening (5), while being solidly fixed at its ends to the substructure and being fixed at its middle to the bonnet sheet. The molding is oriented following the longitudinal extension of the buckling support and forms an opposite side of the bonnet sheet, and has a height that is several times larger than the thickness of the material of the buckling support. An Independent claim is included for a buckling spacer for preventing dents in motor vehicle metal panels.
