Integral fasteners for an energy absorber of a vehicular bumper assembly

摘要

An energy-absorbing bumper assembly includes an impact beam having a front vertical wall with a central inwardly projecting channel. A molded energy absorber formed as a multi-sectioned cellular unit includes mounting towers integrally formed with the unit. Resilient tabs on the mounting towers spring outwardly into complementary openings in the channel when the mounting towers are inserted into the channel, thereby removably attaching the energy absorber to the impact beam.
