Abstract
In a motor vehicle, a deflecting device () for an offset frontal collision for the motor vehicle is arranged in front of a front wheel (). In order, in the event of a collision, to safely pivot the front wheel inward, the deflecting device () forms a kinematic chain, the coupling link of which is a deflector () which, under the action of a frontal impact, is pivoted to the rear and is displaced toward the outside of the vehicle. The kinematic chain is a slider crank mechanism comprising a swinging arm () which is pivotable about a bearing (), a further bearing (), a sliding guide () and the coupling link () which is connected to the outer end of the swinging arm at a pivot point () and is guided in the further bearing ().
