ENERGY ABSORPTION DEVICE AND PASSENGER SAFETY CROSSBAR SYSTEM INCORPORATING SAME |
摘要 |
An energy absorption device comprises an elongated base member (22) and an elongated mechanically fused spring arm (30) extending longitudinally from a first end (32) secured to the base member to a free distal end (34). The spring arm has resilience for storing mechanical energy when flexed from a normally unflexed position' to a flexed position. During such movement, the resistance offered by the mechanical fusing must be overcome. Thus the devic e serves both to store and to dissipate mechanical energy. Suitable fusing mechanisms include shear pins and mechanical fuse strips (40). A system comprising a passenger safety crossbar (10) supported by a pair of such ener gy absorption devices is also disclosed.
