IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO SHOCK ABSORBING DEVICES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4076190
;
A shock absorber is designed for absorbing a longitudinal impact shock at the end of a body, e.g., a reactor control rod. The absorber comprises a buffer member with one end projecting through the body and a tapered member attached to the other end. In operation, when an impact shock is applied to the other end of the buffer, shear pins are fractured, and the tapered member is forced upward past cutters that absorb the impact energy by reason of its cutting action.
