Inverting deformation member for vehicles - has flange on hollow support pointing inwards and defining opening with inner edge for deforming member

摘要

The two flanges (3, 4) run either side of a holder wall (6) which has an inner edge area (7) set back covering the inner edge of the hollow support flange (4). The deformation member (1) has a transitional area with the flange (3) which is rounded in longitudinal section and provided with grooves (8). The deformation member tapers conically with increasing distance from the hollow support (2). ADVANTAGE - The deformation in the flange area provides additional deformation length without the deformation element having to be longer in the starting position compared to normal.
