DEVICE TO DIVERT FORWARD SHOCK ENERGY FROM VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B60R19/38 B60T1/14 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device comprises shock surface arranged at vehicle front and articulated with lengthwise metal thrusts. The latter are provided with elements arranged at their ends to catch the roadbed and coupled with mechanisms that lower thrusts on roadbed at collision. Said elements are composed brake shoes with studs at lower flat surfaces in contact with roadbed. Said mechanisms that lower thrusts on roadbed at collision are composed of helical springs. The latter are secured by their ends to brake shoe top surfaces and vehicle body bottom nearby its rear axle and locked as-contracted by thrusts. The latter are secured at their mid part at body bottom by retainers of fragile material to be destructed at preset front shock force.

EFFECT: better diversion.
