Abstract
A shock-absorbing tie brace has a central member and two primary containment members. The central member has a top, a bottom, a resilient body with two nonlinear edges and two lateral containment members separately mounted at the two nonlinear edges of the resilient body to define a gap between each lateral containment member and the corresponding edge of the resilient body. The primary containment members are mounted respectively on the top and bottom of the central member and are attached to the lateral containment members of the central member. Accordingly, the shock-absorbing tie brace is easily manufactured and has an enhanced structural strength.
Claims15
A shock-absorbing tie brace for a structure comprising:
- at least one central member having
- a top;
- a bottom;
- a resilient body with two nonlinear edges;
- and
- two lateral containment members respectively having a straight edge and a nonlinear edge corresponding to the nonlinear edge of the resilient body and mounted at opposite edges of the resilient body to define a gap between each lateral containment member and the corresponding edge of the resilient body;
- and
- at least two primary containment members being tubular and rectangular in cross section, mounted respectively on the top and bottom of the at least one central member and attached to the lateral containment members of the at least one central member.
