A collision energy-absorbing device (1), comprising
- a substantially flat front side (3),
- a rear side (4) situated at a distance from said front side (3),
- a number of plate-shaped bodies (5) arranged at mutual distances in a row between said front side (3) and said rear side (4), and
- a number of absorbing elements (6) arranged in the respective interspaces between adjoining plate-shaped bodies (5),
- at least one connection body (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d) provided at the circumferential edge of said plate-shaped bodies (5) so as to interconnect said bodies (5),
wherein the absorbing device (1) is constructed such that in case of a collision, kinetic energy is absorbed by plastic deformation of the connection body (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d) and/or the attachments between the plate-shaped bodies (5) and the connection body (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d). The absorbing elements (6) may comprise blocks provided with a plurality of honeycomb-shaped openings (6a), which blocks are provided in the interspaces between the plate-shaped bodies (5). The device (1) may comprise a wall plate (7a, 7b) which is provided along the circumferential edges of the plate-shaped bodies (5) and which is preformed slightly outwards. |
