Abstract:
1. Docking buffer to be attached to ramps, especially loading ramps and loading bridges, with elastic damping element ( 3 ) between first and second U-shaped parts ( 1 ; 2 ) made of hard, shock-resistant material the limbs of which ( 4 ; 5 and 6 ; 7 ) are located next to one another and can be displaced in relation to one another, wherein the limbs ( 4 ; 5 ) of the first U-shaped part ( 2 ) are convergent around an angle (α) deviating from 90° to a first base plate ( 9 ) and the limb ( 6 ; 7 ) of the second U-shaped part ( 1 ) are convergent around an angle (β) deviating from 90° to a second base plate ( 8 ), whereby the opening widths between the ends of the limbs ( 4 ; 5 ) and ( 6 ; 7 ) and the sizes of the angles (α;β) are selected so that the limbs ( 4 ; 5 ) of the first U-shaped part enclose the limbs ( 6 ; 7 ) of the second U-shaped part.
