Abstract

The strengthened passanger compartment is wedge shaped and is joined to the front engine section by a pivot joint secured by a shear pin. On impact the front section is displaced and the shear pin snapped. At the same time a compressed air bottle under the rear of the compartment releases sufficient air to form an air cushion and tip the rear of the car upwards. The car then rolls forwards absorbing the impact force. The system is designed to provide maximum protection when hitting a solid structure such as a wall. The car tips upwards until the reinforced roof strikes the wall at a glancing angle to slide the car down again.

Description

Bezeichnung: Aufprall-Absorbier-Rahmen Beschreibung: tie Patentanrneldung betrifft einen Rahmen, der bei einem Frontalaufprall selbsttätig einen Überrollbügel über dem Dach bildet und die extreine Verzögerung dadurch mindert, daß das Fahrzeug durch Druckluft mit dem Heck iiach oben gedrückt wird. Dieser künstlich herbeigeführte tberschlag wandelt die Energie in Weg um, welcher beim Aufprall auf eine Mauer normalerweise nur in ForTn von Knautschzonen vorhanden ist Der Rahmen besteht aus einem Fahrgastraum (1), der bei einem Aufprall zwar seine Lage verändert, jedoch nicht selbst feformiert wird. vor dem Fahrgastraum (1) ist ein weiteres Rahmenteil, das als Keil fungiert (2). Bei einem Aufprall schiebt sich dieser Keil (2) an der enorm starken Stirnwand des Fahrgastraumes (1) bogenförmig nach unten.Name: Impact Absorbing Frame Description: Tie patent application relates to a frame that automatically has a roll bar in the event of a frontal collision forms over the roof and reduces the extra deceleration by the fact that the vehicle is pushed up with the tail i by compressed air. This artificially brought about Splash converts the energy into a path that normally occurs when hitting a wall only exists in the form of crumple zones. The frame consists of a passenger compartment (1), which changes its position in the event of an impact, but does not deform itself will. In front of the passenger compartment (1) is another frame part that acts as a wedge (2). In the event of an impact, this wedge (2) pushes against the enormously strong front wall the passenger compartment (1) curved downwards.

Zusätzlich wird ein zwischen Fahrgastraum (1) und Keil (2) angebrachter Bolzen abgetrennt, der das Öffnen der im Heck installierten Druckluftflasche (3) betätigt. Da sich der Keil (2) unter den Fahrgastraum (1) schiebt, wird dieser vorne angehoben, wobei eine etwas liegende Position für die Fahrgäste entsteht. Der sogenannte Klappmessereffekt tritt daher nicht so ausgeprägt auf.In addition, one is attached between the passenger compartment (1) and the wedge (2) Separated bolt that prevents the opening of the compressed air bottle (3) installed in the rear actuated. Since the wedge (2) slides under the passenger compartment (1), it becomes the front raised, creating a somewhat recumbent position for the passengers. The so-called The jackknife effect is therefore not as pronounced.

(Zeichnung 1) Wird der Zwischen Fahrgastraum (1) und Keil (2) angebrachte Bolzen abzetrennt, entweicht die Drucklauft aus der Flasche so plötzlich, daß das Fahrzeug mit dem Heck nach oben gedrückt wird, wobei dies von der Aufnrallenergie zusätzlich begünstigt wird. Das Fahrzeug rollt sich an der Mauer energieverzehrend ab, was zur Folge hat, daß die Verzögerungskräfte gering bleiben. Dadurch wird eine insgesamt geringe und relativ verträgliche Verzögerung fir Insassen und Fahrzeug erreicht.(Drawing 1) If the between the passenger compartment (1) and If the bolts attached to the wedge (2) are cut off, the pressure air escapes from the bottle so suddenly that the rear of the vehicle is pushed upwards, this is additionally favored by the impact energy. The vehicle rolls on the Wall energy-consuming from, which has the consequence that the deceleration forces are low stay. This results in an overall low and relatively tolerable delay for occupants and vehicle.

Patent anspruch: hufprall-Absorbier-Rahmen gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß der Rahmen bei einem Frontalaufprall selbsttätig einen Überrollbügel vorne über dem Dach bildet und die extreme Verzögerung dadurch mindert, daß das Fahrzeug durch Druckluft mit dem Heck nach oben gedrijckt wird.Patent claim: hoof impact absorbent frame characterized by that the frame automatically overruns a roll bar at the front in the event of a frontal collision forms the roof and reduces the extreme deceleration that the vehicle through Compressed air is pushed with the stern up. Dieser künstlich herbeigeführte Überschlag wandelt die Energie in Weg um, der bei herkömmlichen Rahmen nur in Form von Knautschzonen verhanden ist.This artificially induced flashover converts the energy into Way around that is only available in the form of crumple zones in conventional frames.
