Abstract
An elastic structure for use in an energy absorption system of a motor vehicle is provided. The elastic structure includes a structure configured as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection expandable by a medium. An elastic function structure at least partially covers the structure and acts as a gas barrier. An energy absorption system for a motor vehicle as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection and a motor vehicle having at least one such energy absorption system are also provided.
Claims19
An elastic structure for use in an energy absorption system of a motor vehicle, the elastic structure comprising:
- a structure configured as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection expandable by a medium;
- and
- an elastic function structure that at least partially covers the structure and acts as a gas barrier.
An energy absorption system for a motor vehicle as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection, the energy absorption system having an elastic structure comprising:
- a structure configured as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection expandable by a medium;
- and
- an elastic function structure that at least partially covers the structure and acts as a gas barrier.
An energy absorption system for a motor vehicle as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection having an elastic structure comprising:
- a structure configured as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection and expandable by a medium, wherein the structure is held on a housing or support;
- and
- an elastic function structure that acts as a gas barrier and is held on the housing or support forming a hollow space receiving the structure.
A motor vehicle having at least one energy absorption system as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection with an elastic structure comprising:
- a structure configured as occupant protection and/or pedestrian protection expandable by a medium;
- and
- an elastic function structure that at least partially covers the structure and acts as a gas barrier.
