MOTOR VEHICLE PEDESTRIAN IMPACT ABSORBER

摘要

The invention relates to a pedestrian impact absorber (10) for a motor vehicle, capable of deforming under the action of a load corresponding to impact with a pedestrian, of the type comprising: an upper part (16) to which the load corresponding to the pedestrian impact is liable to be applied, a lower part (18) liable to bear against a rigid structure of the motor vehicle during the pedestrian impact, an intermediate part (20) liable to deform under the action of the load corresponding to the pedestrian impact in such a way that the upper part moves closer to the lower part. In this absorber: at least one of the upper and lower parts comprises a rigid region (22) designed to be non-deformable under the action of the load corresponding to the pedestrian impact, the intermediate part comprises a region (24) of weakness designed to collapse under the action of the load corresponding to the pedestrian impact.
