  • the invention further relates to a hood lock according to the preamble of claim 20 for locking a front hood with a body of a vehicle.
  • the severity of the injury results from the fact that the front or bonnet, which is usually made of thin sheet metal, would tend to bend, but it would cause a surcharge on parts arranged beneath the bonnet, such as the engine block, which are practically not or only difficult to deform , the shock absorber, the air filter, the valve cover or the side and cross members of the vehicle. It would be desirable if the effects of the impact, particularly on the head of a pedestrian, could be mitigated. At speeds above 60 km / h, on the other hand, the pedestrian is thrown over the vehicle after being detected.
  • DE-C-29 22 893 proposes to support the bonnet and the fender in the area of the joint formed between these two parts with energy-absorbing U-profiles running along the two parts on structural parts, which, in the event of a collision, convert the impact into deformation energy.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that considerable forces have to act on the profiles in order to bend them.
  • these otherwise useless U-profiles are expensive to purchase and complex to assemble.

  • This device serves more the windshield than to protect the pedestrian from too hard an impact on the front hood.
  • each touch of the pivotal movement integrated sensor in the front bumper can cause the net to be triggered, causing a variety of constellations in which the net deprives the driver of the entire view.
  • DE-A-28 41 315 describes a safety device in which, in response to a signal from a sensor arranged in the front area of a vehicle for detecting a collision with a pedestrian, the bonnet is shifted from a rest position into a collision position raised by a piston-cylinder unit is, the shift is carried out by an energy storage.

  • DE-A-197 10 417 describes an arrangement for lifting the front hood, in which a pivoting about a horizontal axis of rotation arranged on the front of the vehicle is triggered by the same gas spring, which also supports the lifting of the front hood hinged at the other end.
  • DE-A-197 21 565 describes a safety device on motor vehicles for lifting the front hood, in which the front hood is raised in a speed-dependent manner by a mechanism integrated with the hood lock.

  • DE-A-27 11 339 describes a front hood articulated on the front, in which the articulation is designed so resiliently that it permits horizontal displacement of the front hood by the impact of a pedestrian, with the front hood displaced to the rear having one The end of a rigid locking element is connected, the other end of which is displaced upwards and backwards in a guide curve when the front hood is moved rearwards, such that the front hood performs an upward movement.
  • This lifting only works on the condition that there is actually a horizontal displacement of the front hood, which is not always guaranteed, for example, in the event of an impact by children.

  • the proposed solution is in no way suitable to counter a pedestrian impact, since the impact should at least exert the force to shear off the bolt in the hood lock, but such a weakly trained bolt would not be usable for daily use.
  • the front hood is raised too slowly and, due to the shifting of the front end, the engine compartment with its components dangerous for pedestrians is being released, while the occupants of the vehicle, who are adequately protected by a laminated glass windscreen, are additionally secured.
