Crash-active vehicle bonnet, has bonnet or outer panel that is decoupled from actuator and energy storage device in impact position so that its return movement is unhindered by them

摘要

The device (1) has outer and inner panels forming a stiff sub-structure, an actuator (6) with an energy storage device (9) and a sensor (11) for impact-related activation to release energy. The bonnet is pivoted from its rest position into a raised position by the actuator after crash activation. The bonnet or outer panel is decoupled from the actuator and energy storage device in the impact position so that its return movement is unhindered by them
