Embodiment Construction

[0023] refer to Figures 2 to 5 , shows a small rear engine motor vehicle 101 having a roof 102 , a floor 103 , a windshield 104 and a front fender or cowl 105 separating a front compartment 107 from a passenger compartment 106 . In this example, the front compartment 107 forms a luggage storage area for the motor vehicle 101 since the motor vehicle 101 has a rear-mounted engine (not shown).

[0024] The distance "D" from the front end of the motor vehicle 101 to the bottom end of the windshield 104 is relatively short so that the corresponding crush distance ( Figure 4 CD1) is shorter.

[0025] The windscreen frame for housing the windscreen 104 is structurally joined at the bottom end to other structural components of the motor vehicle 101 which form part of the body structure of the motor vehicle 101 , such as the cowl 105 .

[0026] The instrument panel 110 is mounted on a cross member 115 that is connected at opposite ends to portions of the body structure of the motor...

Abstract

A motor vehicle (101) is disclosed having an instrument panel (110) spaced from a bottom end of a windshield (104) such that the instrument panel (110) is less susceptible to damage in the event of a frontal collision. A cover element (120) is configured to cover a gap "G" created by spacing the instrument panel (110) from the bottom of the windshield (104).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to motor vehicles, and in particular motor vehicles having an instrument panel. Background technique [0002] It is known to equip motor vehicles with a dashboard or instrument panel that fits into the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and extends across the width of the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. [0003] Various gauges are mounted into the dashboard, and the air ducts that serve as part of the motor vehicle's ventilation system and, in some instances, one or more airbags are often housed in the dashboard. [0004] figure 1 is a schematic side view of a prior art motor vehicle 1 showing an instrument panel 10 conventionally installed in the passenger compartment 6 of the motor vehicle 1 . Motor vehicle 1 comprises a roof 2 , a floor 3 , a windscreen 4 and a front apron or dash 5 separating a front compartment 7 from a passenger compartment 6 . In a motor vehicle with a front engine, the engine...
