Vehicle bumper structure

A vehicle bumper structure comprising:

• a bumper cover arranged at an outermost side of a vehicle and extending in a vehicle with direction;
• a bumper reinforcing member disposed spaced apart from the bumper cover toward the inside of the vehicle, the bumper reinforcing member extending in the vehicle width direction;
• and
• a load-sensing unit, arranged on a vehicular outside surface of the bumper reinforcing member, that extends in a lengthwise direction of the bumper reinforcing member, wherein a vertical width of the load-sensing unit is smaller than a vertical width of the bumper reinforcing member,
• a bumper shock-absorbing member, arranged between the bumper cover and the bumper reinforcing member and extending in the vehicle width direction, that has a vertical width greater than the vertical width of the load-sensing unit;
• and
• a load transfer member, provided between a load sensing portion of the load-sensing unit and the bumper shock-absorbing member, that transfers a load input to the bumper shock-absorbing member to the load-sensing unit, wherein
• a lower end portion and/or an upper end portion of the load transfer member is disposed spaced apart from the bumper reinforcement member such that a gap is left between the load transfer member and the vehicular outside surface of the bumper reinforcement member;
• and
• the load transfer member has a vertical width greater than the vertical width of the load-sensing unit and smaller than the vertical width of the bumper reinforcing member.
