ABSTRACT:
A shock-absorbing tie brace has a central member and two primary containment members. The central member has a top, a bottom, a resilient body with two nonlinear edges and two lateral containment members separately mounted at the two nonlinear edges of the resilient body to define a gap between each lateral containment member and the corresponding edge of the resilient body. The primary containment members are mounted respectively on the top and bottom of the central member and are attached to the lateral containment members of the central member. Accordingly, the shock-absorbing tie brace is easily manufactured and has an enhanced structural strength.
