Embodiment Construction

[0037] figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of a device 1 for protecting the lower limbs of a motor vehicle driver is shown. The device 1 has a deflection plate 2 and a tubular fastening element 3 . Furthermore, the device 1 has a centering element 4 , a first reinforcing element 5 and a second reinforcing element 6 . The device 1 additionally has a clamping element 7 designed as a clip or clip.

[0038] In the embodiment shown, the deflection plate 2 is bent in such a way that it can be divided into a lower region for blocking the driver's feet and an upper region 8 for fastening the device to the vehicle. In its upper region 8 , the deflection plate 2 has an opening 9 through which, for example, a screw can protrude into the tubular fastening element.

[0039] In the shown embodiment of the device, the fastening element 3 has an opening 10 in its wall. This opening 10 facilitates the installation of the device 1 in a vehicle, since, for example, screwin...

Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a pedal in the footwell, comprising at least one device (1) for protecting the lower limbs of the driver of the motor vehicle, wherein the device has a deflection plate (2) and at least one fastening element (3), the fastening element (3) is connected to the deflection plate (2) and serves to fix the device (1) in the footwell of the motor vehicle, and said device (1) is arranged in the footwell of the motor vehicle in such a way Between the two pedals (16, 17, 18), so that a foot placed on one of the pedals (16, 17, 18) will not get stuck on the pedals (16, 17, 18) in the event of an accident and slipping off the pedals )after.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for protecting the lower limbs of a driver of a motor vehicle having a pedal in the footwell. Background technique [0002] It is known that in the event of an accident, the lower extremities of motor vehicle drivers are subjected to high accelerations. In this case, the foot, which normally rests on one of the pedals when the vehicle is moving, can slip between the pedals and become stuck behind the pedals. Furthermore, in the event of a severe collision, the so-called dash panel, which delimits the passenger compartment footwell relative to the engine compartment and is attached to the vehicle floor, can be crushed into the passenger compartment and crush feet caught behind the pedals. [0003] In order to avoid such injuries, DE 29821632 U1 proposes a shield which, during normal driving, extends at least partially beyond the pedal so that on the one hand the pedal can be fully pressed and on the other hand prevents...
