Vehicle, in particular a convertible
View Patent ↗A vehicle, in particular a convertible, has a body and a rollover protection device. The rollover protection device includes a base, which is fastened to the body, at least one protective profile which is guided on the base in a linearly movable manner such that it extends in the event of a crash, and at least one support element which engages in a gap between the body and base when the protective profile is extended.
1 . A vehicle, comprising:
a vehicle body; and
a rollover-protection arrangement,
wherein the rollover-protection arrangement comprises:
a base, which is fastened on the vehicle body;
at least one protective profile, which is guided in a linearly movable manner on the base so as to be extended in an event of a crash; and
at least one supporting element, which engages in a gap between the vehicle body and the base when the protective profile is being extended.
2 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the protective profile is guided on the base so as to be movable linearly parallel to a vertical vehicle axis, and
the supporting element is engageable in the gap by way of a motion vector perpendicular to the vertical vehicle axis.
3 . The vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein
the supporting element is additionally engageable in the gap by way of a motion vector parallel to the vertical vehicle axis.
4 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the gap is arranged outside of the base as viewed in relation to the vehicle.
5 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting element is mounted on the base.
6 . The vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein a control track is formed between the supporting element and the base.
7 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the supporting element is held counter to a force of a triggering spring by the protective profile in a retracted state.
8 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the supporting element comprises a clamping region that engages in the gap.
9 . The vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the clamping region is wedge-shaped.
10 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the base comprises an outer profile, in which the protective profile is mounted in a linearly movable manner, and
the outer profile has an aperture and the supporting element is movable through the aperture into the gap.
11 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the base comprises two parallel outer profiles, one protective profile being guided in a linearly movable manner in each of the two outer profiles so as to be extended in the event of a crash,
wherein a respective supporting element is arranged in or on each outer profile.
12 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is a convertible vehicle.
