Impact damper for a motor vehicle and method of making same

An impact damper for a motor vehicle comprises an impact plate on which a collision force acts, as well as an elastically deformable part adjoining the impact plate in the impact direction, by whose elastic deformation in a collision impact energy is absorbed. At least one plastically deformable par...

Zusammenfassung:An impact damper for a motor vehicle comprises an impact plate on which a collision force acts, as well as an elastically deformable part adjoining the impact plate in the impact direction, by whose elastic deformation in a collision impact energy is absorbed. At least one plastically deformable part is selectively connectable with the elastically deformable part. The plastically deformable part being subject to the influence of the impact plate and being plastically deformable as it absorbs energy in a vehicle collision when connected to operate together with the elastically deformable part.
