| 20120013149 | VEHICLE STRUCTURAL ELEMENT SERVING TO ABSORB CERTAIN SHOCKS BY PLASTIC DEFORMATION - A mechanical device including an elongated structural element provided for absorbing, at least in part, certain shocks by deformation. The structural element or piece has a selected right sectional profile, the profile being provided with localized alterations, shapes, and with selected respective positions for approximately satisfying a given law of deformation under the combined effort of compression in an axis of the piece and of the moment of the axis perpendicular to a plane passing through the axis. The law includes an energy absorption phase followed by a retraction of the piece. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20100201159 | GUIDED LOW AREA FOR THE FRONT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A section of a motor vehicle front low area includes a first extendable elongated part, whose rear end is placed in front of a vehicle structural element embodied in a form of a cradle, whereas the front end thereof is connected to a bar-type structural element of the vehicle by a first connection device. The rear end of the first elongated part is movably mounted in front of the cradle-shaped vehicle structural element. The first connection device includes a connection in a form of a slide bar enabling a substantially longitudinal movement to be carried out and a removable stop member for normally hindering movement up to the removal. | 08-12-2010 |
