Title:
ENERGY ABSORBING CONNECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000024470
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A first end (111) of a metal strip (110) is separated into first and second tabs (120, 130) which are connected in series between first and second members. At least one line of interruptions (117) extends along an intermediate portion (114) of the strip (110) from a point of separation between the tabs (120, 130) and a point proximate a second, opposite end (112) of the strip (110). The second end (112) of the strip (110) is coiled inside the intermediate portion (114) of the strip (110), so that tensile force applied to either of the members is absorbed both by tearing of the metal strip (110) and uncoiling of the metal strip (110).
