Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a crash structure ( 10 a, 10 b, 10 c, 10 d, 10 e, 10 f ) for a motor vehicle, having a crash element ( 12 a, 12 b, 12 c, 12 d, 12 e, 12 f ), which is made at least partially of a fiber composite material, and a support unit ( 16 a, 16 b, 16 c, 16 d, 16 e, 16 f ) having at least one support element ( 14 a, 14.1 b, 14.2 b, 14 c, 14 d, 14 e, 14 f ) and being connectable to a load-bearing structure ( 18 ) of the motor vehicle. According to the invention, the crash element ( 12 a, 12 b, 12 c, 12 d, 12 e, 12 f ) is made of an undulated component with waves ( 22 ) in the vehicle longitudinal direction ( 20 ) and an end region ( 24 ) which is supported on the load-bearing structure ( 18 ) of the motor vehicle at least via the at least one support element ( 14 a, 14.1 b, 14.2 b, 14 c, 14 d, 14 e, 14 f ) of the support unit ( 16 a, 16 b, 16 c, 16 d, 16 e, 16 f ) in the vehicle transverse direction ( 26 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A crash structure for a motor vehicle, comprising: a support unit having at least one support element and connectable to a load-bearing structure of the motor vehicle; and a crash element made at least partially of a fiber composite material, said crash element having waves in a vehicle longitudinal direction and an end region which is supported on the load-bearing structure of the motor vehicle at least via the at least one support element of the support…
