<p>The invention relates to an energy absorbing unit (10), especially for use in combination with an UIC buffer or side buffer (100). The aim of the invention is to provide an additional irreversible shock absorbing element to be combined with e.g. an UIC buffer, which can be retrofitted. According to the invention, an energy absorbing unit (10) has a base plate (2) for connecting the energy absorbing unit (10) to the supporting frame or bogie (101) of the superstructure in a preferably detachable manner, a connecting plate (1) to which e.g. the UIC buffer (100) can be connected, and a sacrificial energy absorbing element (3) which is is tensioned between the base plate (2) and the connecting plate (1) without play.</p> |
