Impact absorbing device for vehicle - has plastically deformable hollow body between bumper and frame

摘要

The absorbing device has a hollow body (8) made of plastically deformable material fitted between the bumper (3) and the body frame (4). The hollow body is rotationally symmetrical about the longitudinal axis laying in the impact direction. In the event of a crash the hollow body is compressed and deformed such that energy is absorbed. ADVANTAGE - Consists of a small number of parts, so keeping production costs low. The total weight is small, with no danger of rattling.
