Latest Patents

Artner’s listed patents address impact absorption and transverse-member construction in motor vehicles.

- **Device for the Absorption of Impact Energy in Motor Vehicles and Method of Making Same.** This invention describes a sheet-metal box profile fixed to a vehicle body component. Its tapered extension is designed so that, under compression, the deformed material gathers within the remaining profile in a concertina-like pattern, helping absorb impact energy.

- **Transverse-Member Module for a Front or Rear Side End Region of a Motor Vehicle and Method of Making Same.** This patent describes a box-shaped flexible member with two spaced, parallel deformation units for connection to the vehicle’s longitudinal members. The member uses parallel vertical profiles joined by structurally identical horizontal profiles, forming a module for a vehicle’s front or rear end.
