摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The bracket (1) has a unit base body (2) and a foamed body (3) provided with openings (4-8), where the foamed body exhibits soft consistency. Other foamed bodies (9-11) are supported in the openings of the former foamed body in a press-fit manner. The openings are formed toward an impact side of an open recess in the former foamed body. The latter foamed bodies are operationally supported relative to the former foamed body such that the latter foamed bodies protrude with its free ends (12-14). The bracket exhibits locally adaptable foam hardness. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a bumper. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Bumper bracket for guiding forces into a shell structure of a motor car during occurrence of parking dent and rear end collision. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The foamed bodies are supported in the openings of the other foamed body in a press-fit manner, thus adjusting the bracket to various requirements in a simple, cost-effective and flexible manner while avoiding the need of additional attachment units or fixation elements for the fixation of the former foamed bodies in the latter foamed body and/or in the respective openings of the latter foamed body. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a sectional view of a locally reinforced bumper bracket with a unit base body and foamed bodies. 1 : Bumper bracket 2 : Unit base body 3, 9-11 : Foamed bodies 4-8 : Openings 12-14 : Free ends.
