IMPACT ABSORPTION DEVICE FOR VEHICLES

The present invention relates to an impact absorption device for vehicles. The device comprising shock absorbers (4) attached to parts of the chassis of a vehicle (10) for absorbing the energy generated during an impact against the vehicle. The device comprises a pair of shock absorbing modules (1) arranged in parallel, each of them comprised by two tubular bodies: a first (2) and a second (3) tubular body, combined with a shock absorber (4) located inside the inner body of said tubular bodies (2,3). One of the ends of each shock absorber is fitted by means of a first articulated connection (5a) to a support (6) welded to a first base (7) joined to the first tubular body (2), while the opposite end of the shock absorber is fitted by means of a second articulated connection (5b) to a pair of lugs (8) welded to a second cross base (9) joined to the second tubular body (3).
