Patent number: 9216767Abstract: A subframe (1) designed as a cross member for a vehicle includes two side members (2) and a stiffening structure (3) between the two side members (2), wherein the side members (2) are designed substantially as hollow profile pieces and have at least one predetermined buckling point (18, 19) in the form of a curvature in the longitudinal extension direction of the side members (2). In order to improve this subframe (1) so that it ensures good mechanical properties such as strength, rigidity, acoustics and reinforcement of the body while driving, and absorbs sufficient deformation energy in the event of a crash, and nevertheless can be produced easily and cost-effectively with a low component weight, the side members (2) have at least one bead (16, 17) extending in the longitudinal direction of the side members (2) in the area of the designed buckling point (18, 19).Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2012Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Magna International Inc.Inventors: Peter Garnweidner, Ernst Lindtner, Hannes Halbauer, Istvan Soproni, Thomas Vorisek

Patent number: 6976728Abstract: A side impact protection device has a side impact carrier and a fastening device for the side impact carrier on a motor vehicle door part. The fastening device has at least one console and a holding bolt which reaches through the console and an end section of the side impact carrier in respective fastening openings. To simply fasten the side impact carrier, at least one load-alleviating opening is constructed at a distance, viewed in the longitudinal range of the side impact carrier, behind the fastening opening in the side impact carrier or in the console, and a material projection, as a deformation resistance, is situated between the fastening opening and the load-alleviating opening. After deformation of the deformation resistance, the holding bolt enters into the load-alleviating opening. The longitudinal axis of the holding bolt extends approximately parallel to the principal axis of inertia relevant to the load case of the side impact carrier.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2004Date of Patent: December 20, 2005Assignees: Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Aktiengesellschaft, Euromotive GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Mathias Froeschle, Peter Garnweidner

Patent number: 6948738Abstract: A device for the protection of the legs of a vehicle occupant in the event of a frontal impact of the vehicle. In the leg area, cuff plates (2) are arranged on a central tube (1) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The cuff plates carry a load distributor (3) at their free end, and absorb the impact energy of the legs of the vehicle occupants in the event of the frontal impact. Load distributor 3 transfers the impact energy present to cuff plates 2, which then roll away and thus remove energy.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Euromotive GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Peter Garnweidner, Manfred Mokre
