  • Patent number: 9327677
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an arrangement comprising a pyrotechnical device and a first mechanical structure. The pyrotechnical device is adapted to, directly, or indirectly, influence the first mechanical structure at a first location, such that the first mechanical structure is exposed to a deformation and/or a displacement. The deformation and/or displacement of the first mechanical structure at the first location is adapted to at a second location, being different from the first location, change a functional mode of the first mechanical structure and/or of a second mechanical structure connected to the first mechanical structure by means of direct mechanical influence. The disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising such an arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20130227818
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hinge mechanism for a bonnet of a vehicle. The hinge mechanism comprises: a first hinge member connectable to the bonnet, a second hinge member having a first end and a second end, a third hinge member connectable to the body structure, and has a first state, wherein the first and second hinge members are releasably engaged to each other, and a second state being different from the first state. The hinge mechanism is displaceable from the first state to the second state by a pivotal displacement of the first hinge member with respect to the second hinge member. The hinge mechanism further comprises an abutment member attached to one of the first and second hinge members, such that when the hinge mechanism is in the second state, the other of the first and second hinge members abuts in a predetermined position relative to the abutment member, while the first and second hinge members are displaceable relative to each other via the abutment member.
