ABSTRACT:
An impact barrier designed specially to be installed at the rear of a vehicle such as a truck, has a generally rectangular, stiff enclosure open at the bottom. There is a support connected between the enclosure and the back of the vehicle so that the enclosure projects rearwardly behind the vehicle at about the expected area of impact of a following collision. Within the enclosure is a plurality of energy dissipating elements or cells arranged within the enclosure in substantial abutment with each other and with the enclosure sides. The dissipating elements are individually made of a frangible or powdering material. The enclosure support preferably includes a snubber for damping out vertical oscillations in the device.
