Abstract: A pyrotechnic actuator is provided for an active hood that encompasses an installation site for a gas generator, a cylinder incorporating a moving piston and a compressed gas line that joins the installation site with the cylinder. A filter body for trapping particles from the gas stream of the gas generator is arranged on the compressed gas line.

Abstract: In order to design a safety device (51) for a seat (42) for a vehicle, in particular motor vehicle, with an at least partially flexible seat surface (1) and with a barrier means (2) which is to be arranged essentially under the seat surface (1) and is to be erected, in particular in the event of an accident, to prevent an occupant from being displaced forwards in the direction of inertia (3), such that the occupant is securely held in the seat even in the event of an accident, it is proposed that the barrier means (2) is held in the erected state (4) by means of a holding means which is held essentially in a manner such that it does not move back out of a final state corresponding to the erected state (4) of the barrier means (2) without an additional application of force, wherein the holding means is, in particular, a self-locking means (5) and/or a ramp means (43) Which can be latched in place.

Abstract: In a ventilation box (2) of a motor vehicle, the ventilation box being composed of a plurality of housing parts (5-7), housing parts (6, 7) arranged in the region of a steering column (3) are formed to be fastened selectively on the left or the right side of the motor vehicle. As a result, the ventilation box (2) can be converted for the respective motor vehicle, irrespective of the position of the steering column (3).

Abstract: An assembly for a cockpit area of a vehicle, in particular of a motor vehicle, having a cross member extending approximately over the width of a vehicle interior, the cross member having attachment points at its end regions for the connection to a vehicle cell and an attachment point which is eccentric to the vehicle longitudinal axis, for the connection to a steering column.
