Title:
HOUSING FOR IMPACT ABSORPTION MEMBER, AND IMPACT ABSORPTION DEVICE ADAPTED FOR USE IN VEHICLE AND USING HOUSING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/027559
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A housing (10) is used to install an impact absorption member (15), which absorbs an impact, in a vehicle. The housing (10) has: two holding sections (10a) which hold the impact absorption member (15); and one or more connection arms (10b) which connect both the holding sections (10a). The two holding sections (10a) respectively hold both ends of the impact absorption member (15) in the axis direction in which a compressive load due to an impact acts. The connection arms (10b) connect both the holding sections (10a) outside the impact absorption member (15) and extend to outwardly facing bent sections from the holding sections (10a). When a compressive load acts in the axial direction of the impact absorption member (15), the connection arms (10b) deform in such a manner that the bent sections serve as a mechanism for releasing the compressive load and separate and move from the impact absorption member (15).
