A protective housing () for a galvanic cell in a motor vehicle four side walls () that form a lateral enclosure for a receptacle space for the galvanic cell. A base and a cover () extend across the lateral enclosure of the receptacle space. A cover cross member () is attached to the cover () and projects out beyond two opposed side walls () for connection to a shell of the motor vehicle so that the protective housing () is suspended in a rotationally fixed fashion in the motor vehicle.

Protective housing for a galvanic cell in a motor vehicle

A device for absorbing side forces during a side impact of a motor vehicle has a reinforcing structure () with a transversely extending reinforcing beam (). An end () of the reinforcing beam () is mounted in a bracket () that is fixed to the vehicle. A profile part () is at the end () of the reinforcing beam () and supports the reinforcing beam (). The profile part () is connected firmly to the bracket () that is fixed to the vehicle thereby providing improved side impact protection and enhanced safety for vehicle occupants.
