Abstract

L'invention concerne la suspension des véhicules à moteur. La plaque supérieure 20 d'une traverse qui porte un boîtier de direction 10 est fixée de façon amovible aux longerons 4, de façon à pouvoir se déplacer vers le bas et vers l'arrière en cas de choc frontal. Le boîtier de direction tourne alors autour de l'accouplement à cardans 11, sans entraîner un recul de la colonne de direction et du volant 6. Application à l'amélioration de la sécurité passive des véhicules.The invention relates to the suspension of motor vehicles. The upper plate 20 of a cross member which carries a steering box 10 is removably attached to the side members 4, so as to be able to move downwards and backwards in the event of a frontal impact. The steering box then rotates around the cardan coupling 11, without causing the steering column and the steering wheel to move backward. Application to improving the passive safety of vehicles.
