Estimating the term…
A bumper absorber for protecting pedestrians (20) is formed into a W-shaped cross-sectional configuration, as taken along a direction which is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the bumper absorber. The W-shaped cross sectional configuration has portions in which a front notch portion (22), an upper rear notch portion (24), and a lower rear notch portion (26) overlap with one another in a vertical direction of a vehicle. Ribs (30) are formed respectively at the upper rear notch portion (24) and the lower rear notch portion (26), and a triangular notch (32) is formed from a vehicle rear side at each of the rib (30). Further, the ribs 30 are formed at the upper rear notch portion (24) and the lower rear notch portion (26) so as to be separated from each other at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the bumper absorber, namely, in a transverse direction of the vehicle. With this structure, a rise in impact load acting on a pedestrian who is hit by a bumper can be controlled.
A bumper absorber for protecting pedestrians, which is disposed inside a bumper cover with a longitudinal direction of the bumper absorber for protecting pedestrians being disposed along a vehicle transverse direction and which is formed by a foam for absorbing impact energy, characterized in that said bumper absorber has a cross-sectional configuration, taken orthogonal to the longitudinal direction thereof, which cross-sectional configuration is formed into a shape having a portion in which a front notch portion notched from a vehicle front side and a rear notch portion notched from a vehicle rear side overlap with one another in a vehicle vertical direction, and the bumper absorber has opening means for opening, when a load having a predetermined value or higher is applied from the vehicle front to the bumper absorber, an upper wall portion in an upper direction and for opening a lower wall portion in a lower direction.
A bumper absorber for protecting pedestrians, which is disposed inside a bumper cover with the longitudinal direction of the bumper absorber for protecting pedestrians being disposed along a vehicle transverse direction and which is formed by a foam for absorbing impact energy, characterized in that a cross-sectional configuration which is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the bumper absorber is formed into a W shape having a portion in which a front notch portion, which is notched from a vehicle front side, and a rear notch portion, which is notched from a vehicle rear side, overlap with one another in a vehicle vertical direction.
A bumper absorber for protecting pedestrians, which is disposed inside a bumper cover with a longitudinal direction of the bumper absorber for protecting pedestrians being disposed along a vehicle transverse direction and which is formed by a foam for absorbing impact energy, characterized in that said bumper absorber has a cross-sectional configuration, taken orthogonal to the longitudinal direction thereof, which cross-sectional configuration is formed into a zigzag shape having a portion in which a front notch portion, which is notched from a vehicle front side, and a rear notch portion, which is notched from a vehicle rear side, overlap with one another in a vehicle vertical direction, and orientations of zigzag shapes in a front-rear direction of the bumper absorber are inverted at predetermined intervals in the vehicle transverse direction.
