ABSTRACT:
An energy-absorbing bolt specially designed for an aircraft seat. It comprises an outer sleeve terminated at a first end by fastening means for fastening to a first structural element; an inner sleeve terminated at an opposite, second end by a rod suitable for being rigidly associated with a second structural element; the two sleeves being fitted one in the other in such a manner as to enable one to slide axially relative to the other in the event of the bolt being subjected to energy exceeding a certain threshold; a first pin constituting a fuse relative to the trigger threshold being mounted transversely in holes and being held in position by a locking member; a second pin also being mounted transversely so as to project at at least one of its ends from the inner sleeve in a complementary housing, and having, during axial sliding in the moving-apart direction, a first function of deforming the outer sleeve to absorb energy, and a second function of providing an end-of-stroke stop by co-operating with an inside projection of the outer sleeve.
