Motor vehicle shock absorber - has hollow support with expander struts, and control bar

摘要

The shock absorber consists of a hollow support (10), the cross-section of which can be altered on impact with a minimum intensity by expander struts (11, 12) inside the hollow support and touching it in parts. At least one control bar (14) for the expander struts runs axially (13) in the hollow support. The expander struts are linked to the hollow support and/or control. USE/ADVANTAGE - The impact absorber has a relatively steep rising deformation force.
