An energy absorption system and method comprised of a crush tube (210), a taper component (205), and a flare component (205). The crush tube (210) is inserted into a matching hole in the taper component (205). As the taper and flare components are moved do...

The bumper has crash boxes (3) as impact dampers fitted between the longitudinal bearers of the vehicle frame and the cross-beam (2). The crash boxes are filled with foam, which may consist of organic or inorganic foam material. The transverse rigidity of ...

Disclosed is a collision energy absorbing structure of a vehicle capable of relieving impact by using a tubular pipe member (1) having equally-sized rectangular cross section and equal plate thickness and including no inside ribs and by adding a suitable t...

The shock absorber for absorbing the energy of an oblique front impact comprises a metal tube (4) with peripheral grooves (5) which allow it to be compressed longitudinally. A mounting plate (6) at its base, at right angles to the axis of the tube, allows ...

In a vehicle with a bumper fixed to it via at least one deformation element (10) transversely to the vehicle longitudinal direction, the deformation element (10) has two spaced apart first side walls (28,30) which are connected to one another via two space...

The crumple bar connects a side member (2) in a car chassis and a cross-member whose center line is staggered with respect to that of the side member. It consists of a polygonal hollow profile (4) which is taller than it is wide. This is enclosed between t...

This collision damper for vehicles deforms under a collision and consists of a hollow bowl-shaped metal body (3) whose closed end (5) provides a flange by which it is bolted to the front bumper cross member (1) while the open end (6) of the body has its ed...

This collision damper (4) consists of a hollow tubular metal body, whose outer end is closed forming a flange by which the body is fixed to the bumper bar cross member (1) whilst the inner end is turned outwards to provide a flange by which it is fixed to ...
