Abstract
A crash box system is provided. The crash box system includes V shaped leaf springs located between a front plate and a rear plate, wherein straight leaf springs have been placed vertically to the front plate and rear plate at wing winged corners. The crash box system further includes a cylindrical inner tube having a bevelled or outer tapered end surface being placed inside an outer tube having a rectangular cross-sectional structure with radiused outer corners and a reduced cross-sectional middle section. The V shaped leaf springs, the outer tube further having re-entrant hexagonal bottom imperfections and re-entrant hexagonal top imperfections, and the cylindrical inner tube having the bevelled or outer tapered end surface to provide the crash box system with energy absorption capabilities such that peak forces are kept low at different times. By this structural arrangement, the aim of the crash box system is to prevent injuries and traumas that occur due to accident effects such as a whiplash effect during accidents at different speeds.
