ABSTRACT:
An energy absorbing device designed to absorb kinetic energy of moving objects by the inelastic stretching of one of its members. The device has at least two support members, and when subjected to load in an axial direction portions of the members will move apart. The portions which move apart are connected by a strap or straps made of a material which will inelastically yield a substantial amount before failure. Thus, when axial forces exceeding a preselected amount are absorbed inelastic yielding occurs to absorb energy.
