ABSTRACT:
An impact moderating mechanism for automobiles comprising a pair of identical bump wave absorbing and tranferring devices at two ends of a chassis respectively. Each of the bump wave absorbing and transferring devices have an outer bumper, a pair of first hydraulic cylinders, a pair of second hydraulic cylinders and a plurality of conduits thereof connected thereinbetween, which devices can functionally absorb a certain amount of bump wave firstly at one end, then transfers a large portion of the bump wave to be eliminated in the other end. A cross arrangement of the conduits for the first hydraulic cylinders thereinbetween can prevent an automobile subject to an impact from being swung and/or overturned. Futhermore, the absorbing capacity of bump wave shall be doubled for each of the collision autombiles if they are both equipped with this impact moderating mechanism.
