A measuring device () for measuring the space remaining after a side crash has a pneumatic piston rod cylinder () with a cylinder (), and a piston rod () that can move relative to the cylinder (). A measuring unit () measures the movement () of the piston rod () relative to the cylinder (), and a base part () positions the piston rod cylinder (). The piston rod cylinder () can be connected to a pressure vessel () to permit the piston rod () to move out when a fluid is applied to the piston rod cylinder ().

Measuring device for a side impact test

A seat actuating element for a motor vehicle seat has an element head () and a guide rod () that is received movably in a seat wall () of the motor vehicle seat (). The element head () is arranged on the seat wall () and can be actuated. The seat actuating element () has an adjustment protector () to avoid inadvertent actuation of the seat actuating element ().

A protective device is provided to reduce an occurrence of injury in the case of a far-side side impact of a vehicle. The protective device has an airbag attached to a side of a seat closer to the center of the vehicle. The air bag has a first airbag element attached to the seat back to extend in the region of the thorax and a second airbag element attached to the seat frame to protect the pelvis in the case of the far side impact.

A door impact beam for a door of a motor vehicle includes a first fastening portion configured to be fastened to a first fastening intersection of the door and a second fastening portion configured to be fastened to a second fastening intersection of the door. A profiled portion extends between the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion. The profiled portion is designed at least in sections as a hollow profile with two side walls disposed opposite to each other and two connecting walls disposed opposite to each other which connect the side walls to each other. The connecting walls have an outwardly directed convex curvature.

Multi-layer laminates are provided which contain at least two binder layers and at least two textile-containing layers. One binder layer faces a substrate to be reinforced, with a second binder layer between two textile-containing layers wherein one of the textile-containing layers is interposed between the binder layers. The binder layer facing the substrate has an elasticity modulus when cured which is less than or the same as the elasticity modulus of the second binder layer. The laminates are suitable for reinforcing or stiffening planar substrates, especially thin-walled substrates such as motor vehicle body parts.
