| The belt-shaped projection is set up on the
outer surface. This design strengthens the
lower section of the leg against deflection,
and provides increased reaction load and
therefore increased energy absorption capacity
at the earliest stage of compression. |
|
The belt-shaped projection can also be set
up on the inner surface. This design reduces
the scrub of rubber body, and in return,
helps smooth deforming. The reaction load
level can be maintained to a high level of
deflection. |
|
By affixing the mounting to the steel frame,
and the level created on the upper surface
of fender, the compressibility (energy absorption
capacity) is increased. |
