Abstract: A pedestrian guard for a motor vehicle is designed to protect persons in the event of a collision with the motor vehicle. At least one profile section (2) with a honeycomb cross section is arranged between the component of the motor vehicle against which a person impacts in the event of collision with the motor vehicle, in particular, between the fender (1) and the component of the motor vehicle (5) to which the impacted component is connected. The profile section is produced of an aluminum material that is in a soft annealed state.
Abstract: A rear seat back for a vehicle back seat having a support frame, a rear wall (2) attached to the support frame and a covering channel (7) for anchoring the seat covering (5). The support frame is formed of extruded profile sections and is constructed in one piece with the covering channel (7), and the rear wall (4) is formed of a substantially flat component.
Abstract: A side impact protection device has a side impact carrier and a fastening device for the side impact carrier on a motor vehicle door part. The fastening device has at least one console and a holding bolt which reaches through the console and an end section of the side impact carrier in respective fastening openings. To simply fasten the side impact carrier, at least one load-alleviating opening is constructed at a distance, viewed in the longitudinal range of the side impact carrier, behind the fastening opening in the side impact carrier or in the console, and a material projection, as a deformation resistance, is situated between the fastening opening and the load-alleviating opening. After deformation of the deformation resistance, the holding bolt enters into the load-alleviating opening. The longitudinal axis of the holding bolt extends approximately parallel to the principal axis of inertia relevant to the load case of the side impact carrier.

Abstract: A device for the protection of the legs of a vehicle occupant in the event of a frontal impact of the vehicle. In the leg area, cuff plates (2) are arranged on a central tube (1) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The cuff plates carry a load distributor (3) at their free end, and absorb the impact energy of the legs of the vehicle occupants in the event of the frontal impact. Load distributor 3 transfers the impact energy present to cuff plates 2, which then roll away and thus remove energy.
