Abstract:
1. A deformation device of a motor vehicle the deformation device comprising: a deformation tube, which can be deformed in a defined manner at least at one end, said deformation tube including at least one elevation, impression or recess with edges; a deforming cone associated with the deformable end of the deformation tube, said deforming cone having at least one elevation or recess with edges that correspond in shape to and engage said edges of said at least one elevation, impression or recess of said deformation tube, in a positive manner, said deforming cone being pressed partially into the end of said deformation tube in a non-positive manner, said edges of said deformation tube overlapping with said edges of said deforming cone in a radial direction of said deforming cone and said deformation tube such that said edges of said deformation tube engage said edges of said deforming cone in a circumferential direction of said deforming cone and said deformation tube, said edges of said deforming cone and said edges of said deformation tube being arranged side by side in a peripheral direction of said deforming cone and said deformation tube.
