ABSTRACT:
This energy absorber for use on automotive vehicles has a cylinder slidably mounted in a support bracket to flex a belt of energy absorbing material on bumper impact to dissipate impact energy. The cylinder has integral radial connector straps at its outer end to facilitate bumper attachment. The belt is looped around a pair of pins, one being slidably mounted in a travel slot and the other in an end notch facilitating assembly of the belt into the cylinder. Preferably the energy absorber cylinder and connector straps are made from a one piece stamping rolled into a cylinder and seam welded.
