IMPROVEMENTS IN ENERGY ABSORBING DEVICES FOR MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

Energy absorption elements for automotive vehicles are obtained by winding filaments in the form of a continuous wire impregnated with polymerizable resin in such a manner that the turns are wound parallel to one another in horizontal planes about a detachable core of complementary contour, so as to obtain a member having a closed-loop contour; the energy absorption elements may constitute closed-contour members for producing two or more automobile bumpers cutting said elements at predetermined locations.
