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.
