An energy absorber including a strap including at least a first path of relatively reduced strength extending over at least a portion of the length of the strap. The energy absorber also includes at least a first transition region including a first initial point where tearing begins along the first transition region when a force above a threshold force is applied (to the energy absorber/ strap) and a first end point. The first end point is in operative connection with a first point on the first path so that tearing continues along the first path after tearing along the first transition region. A gradual increase in load occurring as tearing occurs along the transition region.

La présente invention concerne un absorbeur dénergie comprenant une sangle qui comporte au moins un premier passage de résistance relativement réduite qui sétend par-dessus au moins une partie de la longueur de la sangle. Labsorbeur dénergie comprend également au moins une première région de transition qui comporte un premier point initial où le déchirement commence le long de la première région de transition lorsquune force supérieure à une force de seuil est appliquée (sur labsorbeur dénergie/la sangle) et un premier point dextrémité. Le premier point dextrémité est en association de fonctionnement avec un premier point sur le premier passage de sorte que le déchirement continue le long du premier passage après le déchirement le long de la première région de transition. Une augmentation progressive de charge qui se produit sous forme de déchirement se produit le long de la région de transition.
