Abstract: A nozzle plate for an axially damping hydraulic mount having a passage disk with a passage for connecting a work chamber and a balance chamber of a hydraulic mount. The passage disk is rotationally fixable at a first angular position in the hydraulic mount. The nozzle plate also has a cover disk with an aperture that is arranged above the passage at a pre-definable angular position. The passage of the passage disk is bound on one side by the cover disk. The aperture forms an inlet opening into the passage or an outlet opening out of the passage for a fluid damping agent. The cover disk is rotationally fixed such that the aperture is at a second angular position selected from a plurality of different angular positions with respect to the passage disk.

Abstract: A device for absorption of impact energy on an automobile is provided, with at least one energy absorber arranged between a bumper and the vehicle chassis, which has a deformation element which deforms in the event of a collision. The device adapts to different driving and risk situations and which has a simple design and can be manufactured cost-effectively. The absorption characteristic of the energy absorber is implemented to adapt to the driving situation. This is achieved by transferring the impact energy to the deformation element inside the energy absorber via at least one force introduction element which, depending on the respective driving situation, either transfers the impact energy directly to the deformation element for conversion into deformation work, or initially performs an excursion-limited motion inside the energy absorber and only thereafter transfers the impact energy to the deformation element for conversion into deformation work.
