<p>The element (4) is joined to the front of the vehicle with one side (3) and to the bumper with the opposite side (2). It is divided into several chambers (5) separated by gas-tight partitions (7). Each of the chambers (5) is accommodated inside a case (9). Open spaces (11) are located between the contact surfaces (10). In the case of a collision with a narrow object such as a pedestrian a confined deformation takes place. In case of the collision with another vehicle or a wider object stronger forces are involved in resisting the impact.</p> |
