Abstract

The invention concerns a protective assembly (1, 101) for the lower limbs (31) of a motor vehicle passenger comprising an actuating device (2, 103) secured to the vehicle and capable of displacing a rod (3, 108) which is linked to a protective system. The invention is characterised in that: i) the actuating device contains a pyrotechnic system (9); ii) the protective system comprises a protective cushion (6) mounted on a shaft (5, 105) integral with the vehicle; iii) said protective cushion is mobile in rotation under the effect of the displacement of the rod so as to accompany, in the contact zone provided between the passenger's lower limbs and said protective cushion, the movement of said lower limbs.
