SINGLE-ACTING SHOCK ABSORBER Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; for instance military equipment, concerns single-acting shock absorbers absorbing impact energy due to plastic deformation at bending. SUBSTANCE: single-acting shock absorber uses energy-absorbing members and a base on which the first ends of energy-absorbing members are secured. Each energy-absorbing member is made in the form of two plastically bent rods, whose ends facing each other are rigidly interconnected in one point, the second ends of the energy-absorbing members are made for attachment on the object to be protected. The point of connection of rods of each energy-absorbing member is shifted relative to the line passing through the points of its ends. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 2 dwg
