Abstract: A door hinge for a motor vehicle has a column console that can be arranged on a door frame and a door console that can be attached to a vehicle door, wherein the door console and the column console are connected together as counterpieces at two bearing points arranged spaced from each other in a pin-jointed manner and separable for disassembly.

Abstract: An auxiliary supporting frame for receiving drive shafts of a vehicle, wherein the auxiliary supporting frame has longitudinal supporting arms and transverse supporting arms connecting the latter to each other in order to form a closed frame shape, and wherein one or more openings are provided for the passage of drive shafts or shaft sections, and having at least one stiffening sleeve element is arranged in the at least one opening in at least one longitudinal supporting arm or in a section of the auxiliary supporting frame, and the sleeve element is fitted in such a manner into the opening between shells, parts or walls of the at least one longitudinal supporting arm, which is designed as a hollow body, the said shells, parts or walls forming a longitudinal supporting arm, and is fastened in such a manner to the shells, parts or walls of the at least one longitudinal supporting arm that it closes off the opening to the interior of the hollow body in a sealing manner in order to form protection against corros

Abstract: The invention is based on a known rollover protection system for motor vehicles having a holder affixed to the vehicle, a rollover body, a drive for deploying rollover body from a resting position to a protective position, a device for holding rollover body in the resting position, a sensor-controlled actuator for triggering holding device and a blocking bolt arrangement with two locking bolts under spring tension that engage in locking holes of rollover body when rollover body is deployed in the protective position. It is proposed that blocking bolt arrangement has a housing affixed to the vehicle and open at the end, in which locking bolts are positioned at the end with a single pressure spring positioned in between, by means of which locking bolts can be driven into locking holes.

Abstract: A roll-over protective system for motor vehicles, with roll-over bars arranged at the vehicle's seats, each one being accommodated in a support fixed to the vehicle, and in the normal condition being held by a holding device in a lower, descended position of rest, and able to be brought into a raised, supporting position by releasing of the holding device under sensor control, wherein each roll-over bar has two legs, each of them pivoted at a spacing in the transverse axis of the vehicle with one end in bearings in the support fixed to the vehicle and able to fold down toward each other with their free end, and being interlocked in the raised condition. In order to hinder a digging in of the roll-over bar in soft ground, at least one of the two legs of the bar has a flattening in the region of the free end.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rollover protection system for motor vehicles with at least one rollover body that in a normal state can be held by means of a holding mechanism in a lower, stored resting position and can be brought in a sensor-controlled manner into a deployed, locked protective position, with release of the holding mechanism. In such rollover protection systems, in order to minimize in a simple manner the mechanical stress on the bearing points of the rollover body or of the locking mechanism in the protective position arising in a rollover, the invention provides that at least one deformation element is integrated into rollover body, formed from at least two elastic and/or plastic deformation-defined, energy-reducing partial elements of the rollover body that can be slid into one another. The rollover body has two bar arms, at least one of which has at least two arm elements that can be slid into one another as partial elements of the rollover body for the deformation element.

Abstract: The invention is based on a known rollover protection system for motor vehicles with a rollover body that is held guided in a holder affixed to the vehicle, a drive under spring tension for sensor-controlled deployment of the rollover body from a resting position to a protective position, and a locking device for the rollover body when deployed in the protective position. In order to create a very simple, low-cost and yet highly effective locking device, i.e. a block against retraction of the roll bar after a deployment due to an accident, the invention provides a detent pawl arrangement articulated in a pivoting manner and affixed to the vehicle and under spring tension in the locking direction by a retaining spring, with two extensions extending at least across the width of the rollover body, that in the protective position of the rollover body can be pivoted into direct active contact with corresponding supports on the rollover body.

Abstract: The invention is based on a known rollover protection system for motor vehicles having two seat-related rotary bars permanently articulated to the vehicle body, said rotary bars each being fixable in the stored resting position by means of a holding device, and being rotatable into a locked support position by means of a sensor-controlled drive. To compactly design the system with several functional parts, the invention provides a toggle lever arrangement to convert the movement of the drive into a rotary bar movement, said arrangement being articulated to the drive and the rotary bar such that it is folded at least partially within the area framed by the rotary bar when the rotary bar is in its resting position.

Abstract: The invention is based on a rollover protection system for motor vehicles that is located behind a last row of seats having a part affixed to the vehicle, and a rollover body that is triggered by a sensor to deploy to a support position from a resting position. To save installation space and still provide the maximum survival area for all passengers of an open passenger vehicle, the invention provides installing a rollover protection system in the middle area behind the last row of seats.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door hinge for a motor vehicle with a column console that can be arranged on a column of a door frame, a door console that can be attached to a motor vehicle door assigned to the door frame, wherein the door console and the column console are pin-jointed together via a hinge pin. In order to provide a motor vehicle door hinge that can be produced easily and cost-effectively, it is provided that the door and/or column console is formed by two spaced partial units, wherein the spacing of the partial units of the door and/or the column console is determined by means of a distance element.

Abstract: The invention is of a rollover-protection system for motor vehicles with at least one roll bar, which is received in a leading vehicle-mounted bracket by means of its bar shanks, and in its normal state, it is kept in a lower, non-obtrusive resting position by a holding device, with the sensor-driven releasing of the holding device, it can be brought into a locked, supporting position by a store of energy. With the use of a raw material made from one piece, an especially economical, highly efficient leading vehicle-mounted bracket that reinforces the body of the vehicle can be manufactured, which houses the deployable roll bar.

Abstract: In a device for the side impact protection for a vehicle door of a vehicle, at least one arrangement is provided for moving the vehicle door before and/or during an impact outwards in the direction away from the vehicle interior.
