Embodiment Construction
[0023] figure 1 The shown trigger stroke actuator 11 comprises a generally cylindrical body 13 housing a piston 15 connected to a connecting rod 17 projecting axially at one end of the body. The body also houses components that push the piston in response to a trigger command. In the example described, these components consist of a gas generator 19 with a spark trigger fitted in the body opposite the piston. At the end of the body opposite the axially protruding link 17 the gas generator is folded. Thus, a gas expansion chamber 21 is formed between the gas generator and the opposite end of the piston.
[0024] As mentioned above, the linkage 17 can be connected to a mechanism that raises the bonnet of the vehicle in the event of a frontal collision of the vehicle with a pedestrian.
[0025] Furthermore, the main body 13 houses a return-braking structure 25 with an inertial trigger threshold, which makes it possible to brake or even prevent the return of the connecting rod 1...
