DISPOSITIF D'ABSORPTION D'ENERGIE POUR UNE LIGNE DE VIE

摘要

The device (9) has a sleeve (11) of a radially deformable material traversed by a threaded rod integral with a flexible steel cable (3). An end of the rod includes a corner part (17) made of a non-deformable material resting on an end of the sleeve. The corner part of the rod is intended to move and penetrate into the sleeve when a tensile force applied to a flexible cable reaches or exceeds a predetermined intensity to cause permanent deformation of the sleeve in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the sleeve, so as to absorb the tensile force.
