In a motor vehicle, a deflecting device (11) for an offset frontal collision for the motor vehicle is arranged in front of a front wheel (6). In order, in the event of a collision, to safely pivot the front wheel inward, the deflecting device (11) forms a kinematic chain, the coupling link of which is a deflector (12) which, under the action of a frontal impact, is pivoted to the rear and is displaced toward the outside of the vehicle. The kinematic chain is a slider crank mechanism comprising a swinging arm (13) which is pivotable about a bearing (14), a further bearing (16), a sliding guide (16) and the coupling link (12) which is connected to the outer end of the swinging arm at a pivot point (15) and is guided in the further bearing (16).
In a motor vehicle, a deflecting device for an offset frontal collision for the motor vehicle, the motor vehicle comprising a front end having a left and a right longitudinal member, the deflecting device is arranged in front of a front wheel of the motor vehicle and protects the front wheel in the event of a collision, wherein the deflecting device forms a kinematic chain which is situated approximately in a horizontal plane and the coupling link of which is a deflector which, under the action of a frontal impact, is positively guided to pivot rearward and to be displaced toward the outside of the vehicle, the kinematic chain comprises a four-bar linkage which comprises two swinging arms which are pivotable about bearings connected to the longitudinal member and the coupling link which is connected to the outer ends of the swinging arms at pivot points and reaches beyond the outer pivot point of the vehicle.
