DEVICE INCREASING MOTOR VEHICLE USER SAFETY AND MECHANISM OF RELOCATION OF SHOCK-ABSORBER FOR IT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B60R21/13 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: device for increasing of motor vehicle user safety includes shock-absorber and mechanism of relocation of shock-absorber from neutral position over driver's seat to work position. Mechanism of relocation of shock-absorber contains at least one mechanism of relocation of first element of shock-absorber intended for limiting shift of user ahead and at least one mechanism of relocation of second element of shock-absorber intended for limiting shift of user upward along preset trajectories. Mechanism of relocation of shock-absorber or its elements from neutral position to work position prior to use of vehicle includes link first end of which is connected to stretcher secured on one of vehicle construction elements, their position with regard to frame need not be changed in process of movement, and guide along which first link element may move. Additionally it contains rod with first end hinged to one of vehicle construction elements, their position with regard to frame need not be changed in process of movement, or to construction of first guide installed on this element with second link capable of moving along it and other end of rod is intended for connection with shock-absorber. Other link end is connected with rod and it is possible to change angular position of rod with regard to link by pulling link.

EFFECT: securing of possibility of presetting shock-absorber movement trajectory at safe distance from user's head and shortening time for device deployment owing to simultaneous relocation of all elements of shock-absorber into work position.
