Patent

CA 2297928

An automobile front pillar (1; 40; 50) includes, at a portion thereof positioned closely to a passenger compartment (16) of an automobile (10), a weak portion (27b; 47b; 62) for initiating the buckling of the front pillar upon application of a shock to that pan of the front pillar positioned remotely from the compartment. When an obstacle collides with the front pillar portion positioned remotely from the compartment, the weak portion collapses by the resulting collision shock to cause the front pillar to buckle. The collision shock is partly absorbed by the buckling front pillar, whereby the shock applied to the obstacle is significantly damped.

L'invention porte sur un montant de pare-brise d'automobile (1, 40, 50) comportant dans sa partie touchant l'habitacle (16) une partie faible (27b, 47b, 62) provoquant le pliage du montant en cas de choc sur sa partie éloignée de l'habitacle. En effet, lorsqu'un obstacle heurte ladite partie la partie faible s'affaisse sous le choc et le montant plie. Le choc est en partie absorbé par le pliage et le choc appliqué à l'obstacle notablement amorti.
