Embodiment Construction

[0022] Figure 1-Figure 4 Exemplary components of a shock absorbing device and an exemplary shock absorbing device are illustrated. Such a shock absorber can be implemented in any type of vehicle. For example, a vehicle may be an automobile, truck, semi-trailer, motorcycle, airplane, train, moped, scooter, or other means of transportation. Additionally, the vehicle can use any type of powertrain. For example, the vehicle may be an electric vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle.

[0023] figure 1 is a cutaway view of an exemplary impact absorbing device 100 . Such as figure 1 As shown, the impact absorbing device 100 may be used in a vehicle 110 . Vehicle 110 may include a chassis 112 and other vehicle components associated with chassis 112 such as main power supply (for electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, hybrid vehicles or conventional internal combustion engine vehicles), vehicle cooling system, transmis...

Abstract

An impact absorbing device may include a support beam with a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side may be designed to be closer to a passenger compartment of a vehicle than the second side. The support beam may also define a first aperture extending through the support beam from the first side to the second side. The impact absorbing device may also include an energy absorbing member associated with the second side of the support beam, which may defines a second aperture that is substantially aligned with the first aperture of the support beam. The first and second apertures may be configured to provide flow communication through the impact absorbing device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 234,737, filed September 30, 2015. The subject matter of the aforementioned applications is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to a defined aperture impact absorbing device for use in a vehicle. Background technique [0004] In the United States and Europe, safety regulations require vehicles to include front and rear impact-absorbing devices, such as bumpers. These impact absorbers can be designed to protect vehicles and pedestrians in the event of an accident. Due to their safety function, shock absorbers are regulated. For example, standards such as FMVHS pt. 581 (49 C.F.R. §581) in the United States and ECE Reg. 42 in Europe specify the location of shock absorbing devices on the chassis of a vehicle and impose safety standards. [0005] In addition to carrying shock absorbers,...
