Abstract
1. Bumper support, bumper and motor vehicle with bumper. 2.1. The invention relates to a bumper for fastening a motor vehicle bumper to a motor vehicle body, the bumper support being configured as a plastically deformable metal part and being provided with creases. 2.2. According to the invention, the bumper is given a box shape. 2.3. For use, for example, in making easy-to-repair motor vehicle bumpers.
Claims9
Bumper support for the attachment of a vehicle bumper (22) to a motor vehicle body (10), the bumper support (14) being configured as an energy absorbing, deformable metal part and provided with creases, characterized in that the bumper support (14) is in the shape of a box section.
Vehicle bumper support with a base body (15) and a bumper support (14) according to any of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the base body (15) has a substantially quadrilateral opening (16) in which the box section metal part of the bumper support (14) is received sectionally, the open sides of the box section metal part being disposed substantially parallel to an anticipated collision direction (30), a first face wall of the box section metal part that is substantially perpendicular to the anticipated collision direction (30) being in contact at least sectionally with a bottom surface (18, 20) of the opening (16) and the walls (22, 26) of the box section metal part lying substantially parallel to the anticipated collision direction (30) and provided with creases (26, 28) are in contact at least section-wise with lateral surfaces of the quadrilateral opening (16).
Motor vehicle with a bumper (12) according to any of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the vehicle body (10) has in the bumper area at least one planar surface (40) perpendicular to the anticipated collision direction (30), whereas a second end wall (34) likewise substantially perpendicular to the anticipated collision direction (30) is in planar contact with the planar surface (40).
