  • Control device for an object coupling device of a vehicle, object coupling device for a vehicle and method for dampening an impact of an inertially accelerated object
    Patent number: 9776588
    Abstract: A control device for an object coupling device of a vehicle is configured to actuate a dampening device of the object coupling device such that an object moved by an inertial force from a fixing position along a specified target route to a target impact component of the vehicle can be delayed. The control device is additionally configured to determine a target operating mode of the dampening device from at least two executable operating modes of the dampening device having a different time difference between an exit time of the object from the fixing position and an insert time of a delay of the object to be executed by the dampening device and to control the dampening device into the target operating mode via the at least one control signal.

  • PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION DEVICE AND METHOD HAVING ADAPTIVE REDUCTION OF COLLISION ENERGY
    Publication number: 20140379223
    Abstract: A passenger protection device for a vehicle includes: an impact absorber for absorbing impact energy, which impact absorber has a cavity for receiving and deforming a deformation element during a movement of the deformation element in an advancing direction which is determined by the impact energy; a blocking element for blocking the movement of the deformation element; and a pedestrian protection device which is coupleable to the deformation element and which is designed to actively move the deformation element by a predetermined distance in the advancing direction based on a deactivation of the blocking element.
