摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The support has a stop (60) located at a height higher than a beam of a bumper of a motor vehicle. The stop is crushed in case of impact of a pedestrian such as infant, against a body shell element such as hood, in direction of the stop. The stop is made of plastic or composite material such as thermoplastic material charged by fiber such as fiberglass, where the support forms a rigid point for the pedestrian at the time of the impact of the pedestrian against a bumper skin of the vehicle. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Body shell element e.g. hood, support such as grille support, lock support, technical front facing support, support of softnose, hood inner panel, fender bracket and bumper mounting bracket, for a motor vehicle (claimed) for protecting head, hip, knee and leg of a pedestrian such as infant, in case of collision. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The stop is crushed in case of impact of a pedestrian against the body shell element in direction of the stop, thus allowing the stop to absorb a large amount of energy of impact, and hence effectively limiting the injury to the hip, head and leg of the pedestrian. The support improves the control of the impact against the leg, thus limiting the shearing of the knee. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side view of a grille and a grille support of a motor vehicle. 4 : Grille 6 : Grille support 12 : Housing 24 : Ribs 60, 62 : Stops.
