Abstract:
1. A side impact protection device comprising: a side impact carrier, and a fastening device for the side impact carrier on a motor vehicle door part, the fastening device having at least one console and a holding bolt which reaches through respective fastening openings in the console and an end section of the side impact carrier, wherein at least one load-alleviating opening is constructed in the side impact carrier or in the console at a distance, viewed in a longitudinal range of the side impact carrier, behind at least one of the fastening openings, wherein, as a deformation resistance, a material projection is situated between the at least one of the fastening openings and the load-alleviating opening so that, after deformation of the deformation resistance, the holding bolt can enter into the load-alleviating opening, and wherein a longitudinal axis of the holding bolt extends approximately parallel to a principal axis of inertia relevant to a load of the side impact carrier.
