Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rollover protection system for a motor vehicle has a profiled strut ( 3 ) extending in the direction of a vertical axis ( 6 ) of the vehicle, and a deformation element ( 4 ) held at a first end ( 9 ) of the profiled strut ( 3 ). The first end ( 9 ) is formed facing away from a vehicle floor of the motor vehicle, and the deformation element ( 4 ) has a first outer surface ( 10 ) facing away from the profiled strut ( 3 ) to form an impact surface. The deformation element ( 4 ) has a breaking element ( 11 ) in the form of a cutting roller.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A rollover protection system for a motor vehicle, comprising a profiled strut extending in the direction of a vertical axis of the vehicle and a deformation element held at a first end of the profiled strut facing away from a vehicle floor of the motor vehicle, the deformation element having a first outer surface facing away from the profiled strut and defining an impact surface, and the deformation element having a breaking element in the form of a cutting roller. 2 . The rollover protection system of claim 1 , wherein the breaking element is of disk-shaped or pointed design. 3 . The rollover protection system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the breaking element is of conical or frustoconical shape, with a first element surface defining a smaller diameter a second element surface facing away from the first element surface. 4 . The rollover protection system of claim 3 , wherein the first element surface faces the deformation element. 5 . The rollover protection system of claim 1 , wherein the breaking element is held on the deformation element by a friction and/or interlocking connection. 6 . The rollover protection system of claim 1 , wherein the breaking element is held on a surface of the deformation element that is at the smallest distance from a body component that can be destroyed in a controlled manner with the aid of the breaking element. 7 . The rollover protection system of claim 1 , wherein the breaking element is produced either from hard metal or from a hardened steel.
