Plunger buffer for resiliently absorbing impacts, in particular for rail vehicles

摘要

In a plunger buffer, two housing components (2, 3) which are guided telescopically one in the other and receive a buffer spring (1) are provided at each of their ends facing the buffer spring (1) with a pressure plate (2a, 3a). In order to provide increased protection for vehicle and load, a deformation element (4) is arranged between one end of the buffer spring (1) and the inner face (2b, 3b) of one of the two pressure plates (2a, 3a) which deformation element (4) can be deformed radially, essentially only towards the longitudinal central axis of the plunger buffer, when impact energy arises which exceeds the work capacity of the buffer spring (1). <IMAGE>
