ABSTRACT:
A non-hydraulic energy dissipating collision bumper that functions with surface-to-surface friction in a stacked assembly of one movable disc or ring interleaved between two stationary discs. This bumper has the optimum characteristic of constant force vehicle deceleration, independent of vehicle velocity, and is also capable of responding to oblique bumper impacts at an angle with respect to a bumper normal. It provides accurate lateral bumper centering with set-up springs, as well as automatic system reset after a collision.
