摘要： The invention relates to a device for protecting passengers in a motor vehicle in the event of an energy input caused by a collision and laterally oriented towards a motor vehicle door. Said device has a connection structure provided with at least two parts, a first part and a second part, the first part being connected to the motor vehicle door and the second part being connected to an energy-absorbing region of the motor vehicle body in a fixed manner. Both parts can be brought together in an actively connected manner on at least one common joining region for the targeted derivation of at least part of the energy input acting laterally on the motor vehicle door, in the region of the motor vehicle body. The invention is characterised in that the first and/or second part comprises at least one transducer material which is subjected to a change of mechanical state, especially a form change, by means of the energy supply, bringing both parts together and/or locking the same together. The second part of the connection structure is mounted in a motor vehicle body region directly surrounding the motor vehicle door.

摘要： The invention relates to a device for a motor vehicle that affords occupant protection during the impact of energy that is directed laterally against a motor vehicle door (6) as a result of a crash. Said device comprises a connection structure (7) consisting of at least two sections, a first and a second section, the first section (T1) being connected in a fixed manner to the motor vehicle door (6) and the second section (T2) to an energy-absorbing region of the motor vehicle bodywork (5) that is located in the vehicle interior (1). Both sections can made to interact via at least one common joining region (F), in order to divert at least part of the energy impact that is exerted laterally on the motor vehicle door (6) into the region of the motor vehicle bodywork (5) in a targeted manner. The invention is characterised in that the first and/or second section (T1, T2) is subjected to a mechanical condition modification, in particular a shape modification by means of the energy being supplied to a conversion material, said modification enabling both sections to come into contact with one another and to interlock.

摘要： The invention relates to a device and a method for protecting the occupants of a motor vehicle during a side impact or during a collision that is similar to a side impact, in which energy is exerted in an essentially lateral direction on the door area of the motor vehicle, a vehicle seat being located on the opposite side of the vehicle door from the energy impact. Said device comprises at least one unit, which stabilises the motor vehicle door against energy that is exerted in an essentially lateral direction and contains at least one side impact support lying in the vehicle door and traversing the latter, said support co-operating with at least two support regions inside stable bodywork areas that surround the motor vehicle door, in the event of a collision. The invention is characterised in that the side impact support and/or the supporting regions inside the bodywork area that surrounds the motor vehicle door comprise(s) at least one actuator, which can be activated by the controlled supply of an energy form that is independent of the energy that occurs as a result of the collision, to initiate the controlled co-operation between the side impact support and the support regions.

摘要： The invention relates to a device for a motor vehicle for protecting vehicle occupants when there is an application of energy directed laterally at a motor vehicle door due to a collision, having a connecting structure which has at least two parts. The invention is defined by the fact that the first part (1) is coupled in a rotatably fixed fashion to a pivot bearing within the motor vehicle door (2) and can be moved reversibly from a vertical position into a horizontal position through application of force, in that the second part (3) is embodied in the form of a rod or tube and has a first end which is permanently connected to the motor vehicle bodywork, in that the second part has a second end which lies opposite the first end and can be moved reversibly from a first position into a second position through horizontal linear movement and through application of force, and in that the first part in the horizontal position and the second part in the second position can be operatively connected by means of a common joint region, in that the application of energy which acts on the motor vehicle door can be conducted away from the pivot bearing via the first and second parts to the first end, which is permanently connected to the motor vehicle bodywork, of the second part, along a linearly and horizontally oriented force flux.
