Title

(EN) ENERGY ABSORBING BOLLARD

(FR) BORNE D'ABSORPTION D'ÉNERGIE

Abstract

(EN) An energy absorbing bollard comprising a post and a base is disclosed. The base defines a walled cavity to receive a base engaging end of the post and orient the post in an installed upright orientation. The base further comprises a lower energy absorbing region to absorb energy upon movement of the post, the lower energy absorbing region located between an inner wall of the walled cavity and a first outer surface portion of the base engaging end of the post and extending partway up the walled cavity; and an upper energy absorbing region to absorb energy upon movement of the post and having different energy absorbing characteristics to the lower energy absorbing region, the upper energy absorbing region located between the inner wall of the walled cavity and a second outer surface portion of the base engaging end of the post and positioned above the lower energy absorbing region.

(FR) L'invention concerne une borne d'absorption d'énergie comprenant un montant et une base. La base définit une cavité à paroi pour recevoir une extrémité de mise en prise de base du montant et orienter le montant dans une orientation verticale installée. La base comprend en outre une région d'absorption d'énergie inférieure pour absorber l'énergie lors du mouvement du montant, la région d'absorption d'énergie inférieure étant située entre une paroi interne de la cavité à paroi et une première partie de surface externe de l'extrémité de mise en prise de base du montant et s'étendant à mi-chemin de la cavité à paroi ; et une région d'absorption d'énergie supérieure pour absorber l'énergie lors du mouvement du montant et ayant différentes caractéristiques d'absorption d'énergie à la région d'absorption d'énergie inférieure, la région d'absorption d'énergie supérieure étant située entre la paroi interne de la cavité à paroi et une seconde partie de surface externe de l'extrémité de mise en prise de base du montant et positionnée au-dessus de la région d'absorption d'énergie inférieure.
