Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an energy dissipating device suitable to dissipate energy while a first part (1) of a car of a multi-car vehicle moves relative to a second part (2) of the car, the energy dissipating device comprising a first part and a second part, the first part being arranged to move relative to the second part, if a force of a predetermined magnitude is applied to the first part, the second part comprising a knife (3) that is arranged such that they cut into a first surface (4) of the first part as the first part moves relative to the second part, wherein the first part has a second surface (5) that is separate from the first surface and arranged in such a manner that the knife cuts into the second surface after having cut the first surface, if the force is continued to be applied to the first part.
