Abstract
An assembly bearing structure of a motor vehicle which is favorable in crash situations includes a holding arrangement disposed on the vehicle body. This holding arrangement includes a carrying member supported on the vehicle body as well as an elastically connected longitudinal support which is provided with a catch device for a front-side end of a transmission case and has at least one energy-absorbing deformation area.
Claims13
Assembly bearing structure for a motor vehicle, having a transmission case with a front-side end, which is favorable in crash situations, comprising a holding arrangement disposed on a vehicle body, wherein the holding arrangement comprises a carrying member supported on the vehicle body as well as an elastically connected longitudinal support which is provided with a catch device for the front-side end of the transmission case, said longitudinal support having at least one energy-absorbing deformation area;
- and
- wherein the deformation area of the longitudinal support is formed by at least one stability-reducing zone which is arranged in such a manner that, when stressed by a crash, the transmission case is guided to swivel out in a downward direction of the vehicle body.
Assembly bearing structure for a motor vehicle, having a transmission case with a front-side end, which is favorable in crash situations, comprising a holding arrangement disposed on a vehicle body, wherein the holding arrangement comprises a carrying member supported on the vehicle body as well as an elastically connected longitudinal support which is provided with a catch device for the front-side end of the transmission case, said longitudinal support having at least one energy-absorbing deformation area;
- and
- wherein the front-side end of the transmission case is provided with a nose, and wherein the catch device has a receiving device for guiding movement of the nose in the event of a driving direction crash situation.
Assembly bearing structure for a motor vehicle, having a transmission case with a front-side end, which is favorable in crash situations, comprising a holding arrangement disposed on a vehicle body, wherein the holding arrangement comprises a carrying member supported on the vehicle body as well as an elastically connected longitudinal support which is provided with a catch device for the front-side end of the transmission case, said longitudinal support having at least one energy-absorbing deformation area;
- and
- wherein the deformation area of the longitudinal support is formed by at least one stability-reducing zone, said zone including means for guiding the transmission case in a downward direction of the vehicle body when stressed by a crash.
Assembly bearing structure for a motor vehicle, having a transmission case with a front-side end, which is favorable in crash situations, comprising a holding arrangement disposed on a vehicle body, wherein the holding arrangement comprises a carrying member supported on the vehicle body as well as an elastically connected longitudinal support which is provided with a catch device for the front-side end of the transmission case, said longitudinal support having at least one energy-absorbing deformation area;
- and
- wherein the carrying member comprises a tongue which is arranged transversely in the vehicle body and has bearings on two free ends, and a center recess for receiving an elastic connecting bearing for the longitudinal support.
