APPARATUS WITH COLLAPSIBLE MODULES FOR ABSORBING ENERGY FROMTHE IMPACT OF A VEHICLE

摘要

Apparatus for absorbing energy when impacted by a vehicle includes relativel y movable vertical, spaced supports supporting modules extending between the supports. At least one of the modules has elongated openings formed therein which define deformable module side wall strips located between the module ends. These module side wall strips bend in response to application of oppos ed forces to the module ends.
