Shock-damping device.

摘要

The invention relates to a shock-damping device comprising at least one mechanical element (1) which through its deformation absorbs the energy generated by a shock occurring in a given direction, characterised in that the said element is made up of thin plates (4, 5, 6), its cross-section situated in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the shock having the shape of at least two triangles (2, 3) each having a common apex. Application particularly to railway vehicles.
