Energy absorption body for use in e.g. instrument panel, of motor vehicle, has hollow body including filling and walls, where walls and filling are formed such that hollow body is deformed with force acting in radial direction

摘要

The body (101) has a hollow body (102) extending in an axial direction (106) and including a filling (104), and a piston (110) to exercise pressure on the filling with a force. The force acts in an axial direction on the piston, and walls of the hollow body and the filling are formed such that the hollow body is deformed with another force acting in radial direction. The filling is formed in such a manner that a tensile load is experienced on the wall of the hollow body due to the pressure. The walls are made of reinforced plastic.
