Energy absorbing member

Energy absorbing member for a load carrying, load pulling, load pushing or load stopping assembly comprising:

• first and second attachment devices;
• a shaped body member extending in a longitudinal direction (C) between said first and second attachment devices, the shaped body member comprising a pair of parallel body members extending in the longitudinal direction;
• wherein the shaped body member when applied to a force above a first force level (F1) is arranged to enable a predetermined relative elongation (ΔL) between said first and second attachment devices parallelly with said longitudinal direction (C) upon simultaneous absorption of energy reducing the risk of hazard in connection with sudden deceleration;
• wherein said absorbing member includes a stabilizing control arrangement that extends along the shaped body member arranged to stabilize the shaped body member in relation to forces not exceeding a first force level (F1) hindering relative movement between said attachment devices in at least said longitudinal direction (C);
• wherein said stabilizing control arrangement includes at least one longitudinally extending rib extending along a center line (C) between the pair of parallel of body members;
• wherein there is a longitudinally extending row of longitudinal ribs extending the whole distance between the first and second attachment devices;
• wherein there is arranged at least one pair of transversal ribs, connecting in between the longitudinal ribs and the pair of parallel body members;
• and
• wherein each transversal rib and each longitudinal rib extend from at least one hub part that is positioned along said center line (C).
