For the protection of the occupants of a vehicle in case of a lateral impact, restraints (3) are integrated in the side structure of the vehicle and are adapted to be automatically stretched to extend tautly on the inside across the window opening and are connected to an airbag unit (25) for protection in case of an impact, which unit is accommodated adjacent to the side structure of the vehicle.

Protecting apparatus

A safety device for the passenger compartment of a passenger car comprises a cushion plate, which is mounted in the front part of the vehicle on the knee level and is displaceable by drive means toward the knees of the passenger. In a simple embodiment the drive means comprise a fixed leaf spring, which is prestressed in a state of rest and is releasable to move opposite to the direction of travel of the vehicle.
