Kinetic energy absorbing device for use in vehicle between at least one bumper and supporting vehicle structure converts kinetic energy into irreversible deformation work; energy-absorbing device has hollow body deformable in defined manner

摘要

The device is for use in a vehicle between at least one bumper and the supporting vehicle structure and converts kinetic energy into irreversible deformation work, whereby the energy-absorbing device has a hollow body deformable in a defined manner. The deformation element is a shaped sheet metal part.
