Title:
ENERGY ABSORBING MEMBER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3456589
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To advance predetermined local destruction completely and smoothly by using a compound material of resin and reinforced fiber, and embedding a trigger which generates the starting point of destruction at the time of absorbing energy in the center in an energy absorbing shaft, direction.
CONSTITUTION: A trigger 34 is embedded in the center along the energy absorbing shaft 33 of this energy absorbing member 31. While absorbing compressive impact energy in this energy absorbing member 31 in a direction along the energy absorbing shaft 33, local destruction is generated so that the members of parts above and below the trigger may be expanded to the right and left, taking the trigger 34 as a starting point when a large compressive load P is applied. Since the local destruction 32a, b above and below the trigger are generated, taking the angular part of the trigger 34 as a starting point. The local destruction is usually generated at a fixed position and in a fixed expanding and opening condition, and the position and mechanism of the local destruction are fixed, so it is possible to generate local destruction at a predetermined position completely and exactly for energy absorption.
