Energy absorption element for motor vehicle i.e. automobile, has energy absorption element with deformation element for deforming partial area of energy absorption part within cavity during force application caused by accident

摘要

The element (10) has an energy absorption part (11) for absorbing energy during force application caused by an accident by reducing the length of the energy absorption part. A deformation element (12) deforms a partial area (14) of the energy absorption part within a cavity (15) during the force application caused by the accident. The deformation element is provided at both ends of the energy absorption part. The deformation element has an initiation shape for initiating deformation of the energy absorption part within the cavity.
