A tire cage is disclosed for containing the debris from a tire explosion. The cage includes a lightweight energy absorbing material for protecting structural members of the cage from tire explosion damage so that the cage is reusable. The energy absorbing material may be a metallic foam or other open celled structured material that is able to absorb large amounts of kinetic energy by permanently deforming. The cage is particularly effective in containing explosions of large equipment tires 6 to 12 feet in diameter and having a stored kinetic energy in a range of approximately 900 kilojoules to 1500 kilojoules.

Cette invention concerne une cage de sécurité conçue pour contenir les débris résultant de l'explosion d'un pneu. Cette cage comprend un matériau amortisseur léger servant à protéger les éléments structurels de la cage contre les dommages causés par l'explosion d'un pneu de façon que la cage puisse être réutilisée. Le matériau amortisseur peut être une mousse métallique ou tout autre matériau structuré cellulaire à alvéoles ouverts capable d'absorber de grandes quantités d'énergie cinétique par déformation permanente. Cette cage résiste particulièrement efficacement aux explosions de pneus d'équipements lourds de 6 à 12 pieds de diamètre qui comprennent une énergie cinétique stockée comprise entre environ 900 kilojoules et 1500 kilojoules.
