Embodiment Construction

[0038] figure 1 A part of a motor vehicle body according to the first embodiment of the invention is shown in a simplified perspective illustration after an accident leading to the triggering of the airbag 1 . The engine hood 3 , which is normally flush with the adjacent fender 2 , is raised by the airbag 1 itself or by an actuator not shown to a position in which the airbag 1 mounted on the underside of the engine hood 3 can pass through The gap between the rear edge of the bonnet 3 and the windshield 4 pops out and is laid over the windshield 4 glass and the vehicle body A-pillar 5 surrounding the windshield. The hinges 6 which normally cause the hood 3 to turn between the open and closed positions in a conventional manner are partially released from their anchorage, so that the entire face of the hood 3 is lifted.

[0039] figure 2 A part of the vehicle body according to the second embodiment of the invention is shown after the airbag has been triggered. The body and f...

Abstract

A motor vehicle has a front hood, a windshield, and an airbag, which is installed on the front hood and at least partially overlaps the windshield in the expanded state. A detachable connection is provided between a shell, which is fastened on a lower side of the front hood and receives the airbag, and the hood, at least along a rear edge of the shell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a front bonnet, a windshield and an airbag mounted on the front bonnet which covers the windshield at least partially in an inflated state. This airbag is used to reduce the impact of the pedestrian's head on the windshield when colliding with the pedestrian, reducing the risk of serious injury. Background technique [0002] A motor vehicle of this type is disclosed, for example, by US7243754B2. Here, the airbags are concealed under a cover that fits into the front bonnet. When ignited, the airbag blows the lid open for subsequent deployment through the rear area of ​​the bonnet and the lower and side edges of the windshield. [0003] Arranging the airbag on the bonnet is advantageous in principle, since the airbag does not impede access to the engine compartment located below the bonnet if the airbag and the housing accommodating the airbag are raised together with the bonnet when the hood is opened. In...
