A rollover protection device includes a cassette housing which guides an extendable rollover bar. The cassette housing includes guidances for the rollover bar. The rollover bar is a single shell or multi-shell form part made of fibre reinforced plastic and has shell edge regions which at least partially extend parallel to the extension direction. The cassette housing is a hollow profile made from high strength material and is closed around the rollover bar and the guidance. The guidance is a plastic form part engaging at a shell edge region, is secured within the hollow profile and protrudes from the hollow profile at least downwards.

Rollover protection device

A vehicle body (F) for a passenger car convertible, which has an integrated crosswise partition panel (T) behind the seat anchors (S), on which two retractable roll bars (B) are arranged next to one another, and which vehicle body includes on the back side of the partition panel (T) that is turned away from the seat anchors, exclusively in the upper area of the partition panel, a module carrier (M), which reinforces the partition panel, and which is oriented crosswise to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and which extends across the width of the interior of the vehicle body, and which is mounted on the partition panel, which positions the two roll bars (B) on the back side of the partition panel, so that the module carrier and the partition panel together form bar guides (G), whereby the module carrier (M), with the two roll bars (B), is one pre-mounted modular unit (E).

Vehicle body for a passenger car convertible and a modular unit

A rollover protection device for the passengers of a vehicle having a body and a lateral bulkhead includes a structural unit adapted to be mounted on one side of the vehicle body lateral bulkhead. The structural unit includes at least one extendible rollover bar, and a module beam being connectable in a force transmitting fashion with the lateral bulkhead and the vehicle body. The module beam extends crosswise to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in an upper region of the lateral bulkhead, and at least one force transmission member contains the at least one rollover bar. The at least one force transmission member supports the module beam at the vehicle body bottom.
