ABSTRACT:
A shock absorbing device for automobile pillar panels, which effectively prevents damage of a chassis and protects passengers in the event of a car collision, is disclosed. The device comprises a plate spring structure provided between a pillar panel and a trim. The spring structure consists of a plurality of first and second curved plate springs, which are alternately arranged in the spring structure so as to be oppositely directed and meet each other at two junction points between neighboring springs. The first and second plate springs are integrated into a single structure at the junction points and are held by the pillar panel and the trim at their ends, respectively. The plate spring structure is preferably made of a plastic material through an injection molding process.
