Abstract

See full text

A deformable structure for occupant protection in vehicles has hollow energy-absorbing elements which are disposed between walls or other components. The hollow bodies are tube portions which are predeformed perpendicularly to their longitudinal axes and which are disposed with the tube axes parallel to the walls individually in a predeterminable arrangement or joined together in single-layer or multilayer fashion, and wherein the degree of predeformation is between 0.1% and 85% of the open width of the undeformed tube in the direction of the deformation impact force.
