図1は、本発明の衝撃エネルギー吸収体の第1実施形態を示す斜視図である。
図1に示す衝撃エネルギー吸収体10は、矩形薄板状の単壁構造からなり、後に説明する成形方法によって一体成形されるようになっている。衝撃エネルギー吸収体10の材質は、たとえば、熱可塑性樹脂であり、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系樹脂、または非晶性樹脂などで、具体的にはエチレン、プロピレン、ブテン、イソプレンペンテン、メチルペンテン等のオレフィン類の単独重合体あるいは共重合体であるポリオレフィン(たとえば、ポリプロピレン、高密度ポリエチレン)が用いられる。
次に、図11に示すように、金型116A、116Bの型締めを行い、金型116Bのピンチオフ部122により熱可塑性樹脂製シートPの周縁部を枠取りする。
図13(a)、(b)は、本発明の衝撃エネルギー吸収体の第2実施形態を示す構成図で、図13(a)は、上面から観た斜視図、図13(b)は、下面(裏面)から観た斜視図である。以下、第1実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明する。
第1実施形態では、突起部15の側壁部15Sの一部を開口させるのに、突起部15ごとにその側壁部15Sの一部を切除するようにしたものである。しかし、これに限定されることはなく、たとえば図21に示すように、切除すべき突起部15が張り出しフランジ13に近接してある場合、当該突起部15の切除すべき側壁部15Sとともに、平面部11、周壁12、張り出しフランジ13を、他の平面部11、周壁12、張り出しフランジ13から切り離すように切除してもよいことはもちろんである。
第1実施形態では、平面部11の表面を領域Aと領域Bとに区分し、領域Bに形成されるいくつかの突起部15において、その側壁部15Sの一部を開口する構成としたものである。しかし、これに限定されることはなく、領域Aに形成される突起部15においても、同様の構成としてもよい。さらに、領域A、領域Bのいずれにおいても、側壁部15Sの一部が開口された突起部15を有する構成としてもよいことはいうまでもない。
図22(a)、(b)は、本発明の衝撃エネルギー吸収体の第3実施形態を示す構成図で、図22(a)は、上面から観た斜視図、図22(b)は、下面(裏面)から観た斜視図である。以下、第1及び第2実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明する。
なお、領域Aに形成される各突起部15aは、たとえば、その全部において、図22(a)、(b)に示すように、その側壁部15Sの表裏面が平坦な、換言すれば、後述するようなリブが形成されていないものとなっている。
第3実施形態では、領域Aに配置される突起部15の側壁部15Sの一方の表面に側壁部用リブ517を形成しない構成としたものである。しかし、これに限定されることはない。図29に示すように、たとえば、領域Bに隣接して配置される領域Aの突起部15の側壁部15Sに側壁部用リブ517を形成するようにしてもよい。このように側壁部用リブ517を形成する突起部15は任意に選定され、また、選定された突起部15に形成する側壁部用リブ517の数は任意であってもよいことはもちろんである。
図30(a)、(b)は、本発明の衝撃エネルギー吸収体の第4実施形態を示す構成図で、図30(a)は、上面から観た斜視図、図30(b)は、下面(裏面)から観た斜視図である。以下、第1ないし第3実施形態と異なる点を中心に説明する。
これに対して、曲線bは、本発明を適用させていないものであり、各突起部15において、その高さT0に低い部分を設けることのない衝撃エネルギー吸収体の特性を示している。その結果、曲線bは、初期段階で変位に対して荷重が大きく、その後荷重が急激に低下してしまうようになっている。したがって、大きな変位に対して一定の荷重を保つことができない。
また、曲線dは、各突起部15の天面部15Tにおいて、高さの低い部分における高さが、高さの高い部分の高さに対して80%に設定され、その高さの低い部分は各突起部15の全長に対して42%に設定された衝撃エネルギー吸収体の特性を示している。この場合、曲線cは、初期の荷重が低くなりすぎるという特性を有してしまうことが判る。これにより、曲線c、dのいずれにおいても、変位に対する平坦な荷重特性を得ることができない。
第4実施形態では、複数ある突起部15のうち、少なくとも一つを、その天面部15Tにおいて他の突起部15の天面部15Tよりも低い高さを有するように構成したものである。しかし、これに限定されることはなく、少なくとも一つの突起部15において、その天面部15Tの一部が他の部分よりも低い高さを有するように構成するようにしてもよい。
