Patent number: 8474568Abstract: A spring device at a swivelable hatch of a motor vehicle, having a gas spring and a helper spring between the body of the motor vehicle and the hatch. The hatch is a front hood which can be raised into a pedestrian protection position prior to an impact of a pedestrian on the front hood, by an actuator activated by a sensor device. The helper spring is preloaded with a preloading force which, in case of a malfunction in which the gas spring has no gas pressure or a reduced gas pressure, is sufficient to adjust the front hood into the raised pedestrian protection position and to hold the front hood in the raised pedestrian protection position prior to the impact.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2011Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Stabilus GmbHInventors: Ulrich Koestler, Arne Koehler, Christoph Ulrich, Nadja Kaiser
