  • Patent number: 11613229
    Abstract: A pedestrian protection device of a vehicle includes a first body element mounted to the vehicle and having a connecting section. The pedestrian protection device includes a second body element that includes a hollow profile section. The first body element is movably received in the hollow profile section. The pedestrian protection device includes an elastically deformable exterior component connected to the second body element. The hollow profile section of the second body element is displaced from a rest position to a crash position upon the application of force against exterior component. The pedestrian device includes a latching device that releasably latches the connecting section of the first body element with the hollow profile section of the second body element when set in the crash position.

  • Patent number: 11152660
    Abstract: A device is provided for accommodating at least one energy module for a motor vehicle, in particular for accommodating at least one high-voltage energy module for a hybrid or electric vehicle. The device includes a housing having a first and a second accommodating portion for accommodating at least one energy module, and a connecting portion arranged between the first and the second accommodating portions. The connecting portion is designed such that, when the housing is subjected to a predetermined force, deformation being the result, the connecting portion allows the first and the second accommodating portions to move relative to one another in a predetermined manner as a result of the deformation.
