Holder for vehicle upholstery
First Claim
1. A support for an interior lining part of a vehicle;
- comprising a first attachment element connectable to the interior lining part, a second attachment element connectable to a body of the vehicle, a deformation element that is at least one of elastically and plastically deformable and is arranged to lie between and be connected to the first and second attachment elements, and a tensile load absorber configured and arranged to relieve the deformation element in a tension direction, wherein the tensile load absorber has a hook on at least one end thereof so as to be hookable onto one of the attachment elements or onto an end of the deformation element toward one of the attachment elements and to be unhookable toward the tension direction, and wherein at least one device configured to increase friction is operatively arranged at least one of an inner surface of the hook and on the attachment element in a region enclosed by the hook the friction increasing device being configured as teeth arranged to engage one another, one of which is positioned on the hook inner surface and the other of which is positioned on one of the attachment elements.

Abstract
A support for an interior lining part of a vehicle has a first attachment element connectable to the interior lining part and a second attachment element connectable to the body of the vehicle. An elastically and/or plastically deformable deformation element, which lies between the attachment elements and is connected to the attachment elements, has a tensile load absorption feature which relieves the deformation element in the tension direction. To achieve reproducible deformation results on the support, the tensile load absorption feature includes a hook on at least one of its ends, which is hooked onto one of the attachment elements or onto an end of the deformation element on the attachment element side. The hook is open toward the tension direction.
