  • Backrest construction
    Patent number: 6761412
    Abstract: A backrest construction for the front seat of a motor vehicle, with a backrest frame (1), a backrest head (2), node points (5) arranged on both sides of the lower part of the backrest frame (1) and a lower crossbeam (6) arranged between the node points (5). To be able to manufacture the backrest construction in a lightweight design, some of the structural parts, namely the backrest frame (1) and the crossbeam (6), for example, are made of extruded sections, while the other structural parts, such as the node points (5) and the backrest head (2) are die-cast parts.

  • Device to absorb impact energy
    Patent number: 6334518
    Abstract: A device to absorb impact energy between an impacted component and a component to be protected from the effects of the impact (in particular between the bumper bracket (1) and the frame side rail of a vehicle). The device has a deforming section (3) to plastically absorb energy (that is between the bumper bracket (1) and the frame rail), and a hydraulic part to elastically absorb energy. The hydraulic part is before the deforming part (3) (viewed in direction of impact) inside the frame side rail. With this design, it is possible to have a large plunger diameter for the hydraulic section and an aluminum construction.
