Load energy-absorber

Abstract

A fiber-reinforced resin load energy-absorber has: a multi-layer woven fabric or laminated woven fabric as a reinforcement base material; a resin as a matrix; slits; binding threads; and reinforcing members. The reinforcement base material has corners formed by bending said reinforcement base material. Slits are provided at least in the portions of the reinforcement base material that form the corners. The binding threads bind each of the woven fabric layers in the multi-layer woven fabric or laminated woven fabric. The binding threads are configured so as to bind each of the woven fabric layers when the multi-layer woven fabric or laminated woven fabric is divided in the thickness direction into at least two woven fabric layers. The reinforcing members are held inside the slits.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
