  • Front hood assembly
    Patent number: 7207406
    Abstract: A front hood assembly has the front hood of a motor vehicle hinged to the chassis of the motor vehicle via at least one hinge, the front hood being lockable via at least one hood lock for locking the front hood with the body of a motor vehicle. To this end, the hood lock allows a horizontal displacement of the front hood even if it is locked. The locking element of the front hood allows a displacement of the front hood into horizontal escape space while the front hood remains locked.
