  • 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: 9396862
    Abstract: A secondary transformer unit for mounting on a vehicle having an electric drive includes at least one secondary core, and at least one secondary coil that is arranged on the secondary core. At least one outer skin is provided to envelope the secondary core and contains reinforcing fibers. The outer skin is configured to retain inside the at least one outer skin fragments produced when the at least one secondary core breaks.
