摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The crash absorber (1) has an energy absorption unit (2) with a seal (3), where the seal has a certain length in an axial direction. A guide element (4) is provided, in which the seal is movable between a starting position and an end position in the axial direction. The guide element has an inner cross-section in a deformable guide section (4.1). The energy absorption unit also has an expandable energy absorbing element (5) which surrounds the guide section perpendicular to axial direction over a portion of its circumference. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is included for a rail vehicle with a chassis. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Crash absorber for a rail vehicle (Claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The energy absorption unit also has an expandable energy absorbing element which surrounds the guide section perpendicular to axial direction over a portion of its circumference, and hence ensures simple and flexible crash absorber. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view of a crash absorber. 1 : Crash absorber 2 : Energy absorption unit 3 : Seal 4 : Guide element 4.1 : Guide section 5 : Energy absorbing element.
