Deformation Device for a Motor Vehicle and Motor Vehicle Comprising a Deformation Device of This Type

A deformation device for a motor vehicle having a cross-member, comprising a deformation element which is fittable to the cross-member, wherein the deformation element comprises:

• a first element and a second element, which are displaceable relative to each other as a result of a collision;
• and
• a locking device which is pretensionable and which is movably supported on the first element and which is optionally lockable or not lockable with the second element in the course of the collision, wherein
• the locking device has a first centrifugal force lever which is pivotably supported about a first pivot axis located on the first element, and a second centrifugal force lever which is adjacent to the first centrifugal force lever and which is pivotably supported about a second pivot axis which is located on the first element,
• the first centrifugal force lever has a first torsion spring which is arranged around the first pivot axis and which is actively connected to the first centrifugal force lever, a first rolling face and a first abutment face which is distal thereto, and
• the second centrifugal force lever has a second torsion spring which is arranged around the second pivot axis and which is actively connected to the second centrifugal force lever, a second rolling face and a second abutment face which is distal thereto,
• wherein, in an event of an accident situation which represents a low-speed collision, the first centrifugal force lever and the second centrifugal force lever pivot in each case about the first pivot axis or second pivot axis such that the first rolling face and the second rolling face move into abutment with each other, the first abutment face is in abutment with a corresponding first receiving face which is located on the second element, and the second abutment face is in abutment with a corresponding second receiving face which is located on the second element, and
• wherein, in an event of an accident situation which represents a pedestrian collision, the first centrifugal force lever and the second centrifugal force lever pivot in each case about the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis such that the first rolling face and the second rolling face are in abutment with each other, while the first abutment face and the second abutment face are remote from the second element.
