System, method, and apparatus for automotive under-run protective device

摘要

The present disclosure provides an apparatus, a system for a under-run protection device for a vehicle comprising a first beam member extending laterally to the direction of the vehicle, wherein a partial portion of the first beam has a corrugated cross-section. A second beam member mounted on the first beam member positioned and adapted to absorb an impact from another vehicle by deforming when the impact force exceeds a predetermined level, further the partial corrugated cross-section of the first beam member enables reduction in construction/manufacturing material for the said second beam member. A plurality of brackets characterized by a L-shape, joined to the first beam member at one arm of the L-shape and with the vehicle at other arm of the L-shape.

1. A under-run protection device system for a vehicle comprising:
a first beam member extending laterally to the direction of a vehicle wherein a partial portion of the first beam member has a corrugated cross-section; a second beam member mounted on the first beam member positioned and adapted to absorb an impact from another vehicle by deforming when the impact force exceeds a threshold value, further the partial corrugated cross-section of the first beam member enables reduction in construction/manufacturing material for the said second beam member; and a plurality of L-shaped brackets, wherein a one arm of the L-shape of each of the plurality of L-shaped brackets is joined to the first beam member, wherein an other arm of the L-shape of each of the plurality of L-shaped brackets is joined to a vertical member, wherein vertical member is riveted to the vehicle via a connecting bracket, wherein the one arm of the L-shape is parallel to the first beam member, wherein the other arm of the L-shape is perpendicular to the first beam member, and wherein the one arm of each of the plurality of L-shaped brackets is welded in the trough of the first beam member having corrugated cross-section.
