Deformable mounting for vehicle bumper - uses rod covered with elastic material which passes through calibrated opening

摘要

A support component (4) is partially enclosed by an elastic material (3). The material is subject to local deformation (6) allowing the support to pass through the pre-calibrated opening (7) of a cage-like absorption section (8). To restore the mounting support to the original pre-impact position, a tool can be introduced through the opening (16) in the longitudinal support (15) to turn the screw (13). ADVANTAGE - Less costly method of attaching a bumper which can be used where only limited installation space is available.
