Radiator support structure for motor vehicles with upper holder element for top radiator end, of upper peg and elastic holder section, which yields backwards when radiator is subjected to impact forces

摘要

The supporting structure (20) has a lower holder element (23), for turning connection of a lower end of a radiator (21) to a lower cross element of a vehicle. It also has an upper holder element (22) for the upper end of the radiator. The upper holder element consists of an upper peg (26) on the radiator top, and an elastic holder section (31) on the upper cross element. The section holds the peg elastically, and the peg is released from it when the radiator is moved backwards with a force, which is the same as or larger than, a set value.
