An assembly includes a display screen, a bracket for receiving and holding the display screen, a deformable mounting feature and a frangible mounting feature. The deformable mounting feature is adapted to absorb initial energy in the event of an impact to the display screen. The frangible mounting feature is adapted to further dissipate energy to the extent that the impact energy exceeds the ability of the deformable mounting feature to absorb it.

The present invention relates to a shock absorbing device incorporating a plurality of wavy shaped elements made of a superelastic material arranged in a crossing pattern, wherein pairs of crests or troughs of said wavy shaped elements made of a superelastic material are restrained to each other in a locking manner by way of connecting elements.

The present invention relates to an shock absorber based on the cutting, inward-folding and crushing of composite tube, comprising a destructing cap, a flat-pressing cap, a cutter and a positioning tube. The cutter is positioned in the destructing cap, and has a lower end connected to an inner flange of the destructing cap and an upper end connected to the positioning tube. The positioning tube is positioned in the destructing cap and closely connected to the inner wall of the destructing cap, and has a lower surface in contact with the cutter. The destructing cap, the positioning tube and the composite tube are respectively provided with aligned pin holes, and bound together with a pin. Energy is absorbed through destruction generated due to cutting and inward-folding of the composition tube. Energy can also be absorbed through destruction generated due to the inward-folding of the composite tube, without using the cutter. Compared to existing technology, the device may be used as a structural component in a normal working state. In the colliding and crushing state, the device fully destructs the composite. The present invention has the following advantages: the energy-absorption ratio is high; and the energy absorbing device only bears an axial force in the process that the composite is being destroyed, does not bend or rupture, keeps the structure stable, and avoids spattering of scraps.

An impact absorbing structure includes an impact absorbing member made of CFRP, and the impact absorbing member includes a pair of left and right side wall portions and upper and lower coupling wall portions each coupling the side wall portions. Each of the pair of side wall portions includes a plurality of curved portions. Each of the curved portions is formed such that a leftward/rightward direction depth thereof decreases toward a front side. Each of the pair of side wall portions includes: a plurality of first carbon fibers arranged to extend in a forward/rearward direction and constituting most of reinforced fibers contained in the side wall portion; and a plurality of second carbon fibers arranged to extend in a direction intersecting with the first carbon fibers. The plurality of second carbon fibers are arranged at both thickness direction end vicinity parts of each of the side wall portions.

Embodiments of safety trucks incorporate multiple connection points to which a variety of attachments, or combinations of attachments, can be releasably and interchangeably coupled to enable their use with increased effectiveness to safeguard roadway construction, maintenance and repair personnel as they perform tasks within or relatively near to roadway workzones and worksites. Also, methods of operation of the safety truck embodiments enhance their ability to guard and protect roadway construction, maintenance and repair personnel while they work within or relatively near to roadway workzone and worksite locations.

The present invention utilizes a backpack body to define an openable accommodation chamber. The accommodation chamber further has an opening on the top end thereof for the communication of the inside and outside thereof. The accommodation chamber utilizes a restricting structure to position an energy absorption band. The energy absorption band is formed of at least a first layer and a second layer that are coincidingly bound. The top ends of the first layer and the second layer extend a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion respectively. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion divergently protrude from the backpack body via the opening. The first connecting portion is for coupling with a safety harness, while the second connecting portion is for coupling with an anti-falling device. When the user falls, the falling will make the restricting structure release the first layer and the second layer, so that the first layer and the second layer can leave the accommodation chamber via the opening for anti-falling suspension. Accordingly, the present invention just has real improvements, including fine appearance, economic efficiency, and etc.

An energy absorber comprises a base having a weakened portion, a mounting aperture, and a connecting aperture. An energy absorber assembly includes the energy absorber, an anchor member extending through the connecting aperture, a mounting bracket including an aperture, and a fastener extending through the aperture of the mounting bracket and the mounting aperture of the energy absorber.

A nuclear reactor seismic isolation assembly includes an enclosure that defines a volume; a plastically-deformable member mounted, at least in part, within the volume; and a stretching member moveable within the enclosure to plastically-deform the plastically-deformable member in response to a dynamic force exerted on the enclosure.

An energy-absorbing assembly for a vehicle includes a carrier plate and a plurality of discrete energy-absorbing elements. The carrier plate includes a first polymer and a first plurality of reinforcing fibers. The plurality of energy-absorbing elements each includes a second polymer and a second plurality of reinforcing fibers. The plurality of energy-absorbing elements is fixed to the carrier plate. Each energy-absorbing element of the first plurality of energy-absorbing elements includes an elongated hollow structure defining a longitudinal axis extending nonparallel to the carrier plate. Another energy-absorbing assembly includes a carrier plate and a plurality of discrete energy-absorbing elements. The carrier plate includes a first polymer and a first plurality of reinforcing fibers. The plurality of energy-absorbing elements each includes a second polymer and a second plurality of reinforcing fibers.
