This invention relates to a pedestrian protection device for motor vehicles which comprises essentially a hinged member adapted to be raised to an operative position from a normally lower inoperative position on the motor vehicle. More particularly, this hinged member constitutes a kind of transverse beam or barrier having side flanges provided with two series of connecting means associated with a pair of trunnions permitting the rotation of said beam and secured to said side flanges. The second series of connecting means provides an operative connection between the beam and the thrust rod of a cylinder and piston unit having its cylinder pivoted to the vehicle body. The essential purpose of this device is to protect pedestrians against the dangers of running into a car.
