Impact suppression devices and method, gear and vehicle incorporating these impact suppression devices

摘要

The invention relates to devices and to a method for damping out shocks as well as to a framework and to a vehicle including such shock-absorbing devices. The shock-absorbing device comprising at least one longitudinal element (110, 111) which, through deformation, absorbs energy generated by a shock occurring in a given direction, is characterised in that the said element consists of a thin plate, its section in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the shock having a triangular overall shape. Application especially to rail vehicles. IMAGE
