An impact structure for attenuating longitudinally-directed vehicle impacts, comprising first and second attenuation plates, where the plates are spaced apart from each other at a mounting region of the impact structure and fixed to each other at an impact region of the impact structure, and the impact region is longitudinally distal from the mounting region. There is an aperture pattern on each attenuation plate, wherein each aperture of the aperture pattern on each attenuation plate has an aspect ratio defined by the maximum size of the aperture in the longitudinal direction divided by the maximum size of the aperture in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; and the aspect ratio of the apertures of the aperture pattern on each attenuation plate generally increases or decreases in the longitudinal direction between the mounting region and the impact region.

A bumper spoiler structure includes: a bumper panel provided in a bumper of a vehicle; a bumper spoiler capable of advancing and retreating relative to the bumper panel by being moved in an inside-outside direction of the vehicle; a first actuator movable in the inside-outside direction and configured to move the bumper spoiler in the inside-outside direction; a first controller configured to control the first actuator; a second actuator configured to move the bumper spoiler and the first actuator in the inside-outside direction; and a second controller configured to control the second actuator. When at least one of the first actuator and the first controller is lost in a deployed state in which the bumper spoiler protrudes with respect to the bumper panel, the second controller moves the bumper spoiler and the first actuator toward an inner side of the vehicle by using the second actuator.

A bumper assembly for a material handling vehicle is provided. The material handling vehicle includes a vehicle frame. The bumper assembly includes a first bumper coupled to a first side of the vehicle frame and having a first slot extending along a portion of the first bumper and a first protruding portion. The first protruding portion extends outwardly at an angle past a plane defined by the first side of the vehicle frame. The bumper assembly further includes a second bumper coupled to a second side of the vehicle frame opposite to the first side and having a second slot extending along a portion of the second bumper and a second protruding portion. The second protruding portion extends outwardly at an angle past a plane defined by the second side of the vehicle frame.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an energy-absorbing anti-creeper and a train vehicle with the energy-absorbing anti-creeper. The energy-absorbing anti-creeper includes: a guiding cylinder, an energy-absorbing material, a collision mechanism and a discharging mechanism for discharging the energy-absorbing material being arranged at the first end of the guiding cylinder. A first end of the guiding cylinder is configured to be in assembly connection with a train. The energy-absorbing material is filled in the guiding cylinder. The collision mechanism is arranged at a second end of the guiding cylinder. The first end of the guiding cylinder and the second end of the guiding cylinder are two opposite ends of the guiding cylinder.

A bumper assembly for a material handling vehicle is provided. The material handling vehicle includes a vehicle frame. The bumper assembly includes a first bumper coupled to a first side of the vehicle frame and having a first slot extending along a portion of the first bumper and a first protruding portion. The first protruding portion extends outwardly at an angle past a plane defined by the first side of the vehicle frame. The bumper assembly further includes a second bumper coupled to a second side of the vehicle frame opposite to the first side and having a second slot extending along a portion of the second bumper and a second protruding portion. The second protruding portion extends outwardly at an angle past a plane defined by the second side of the vehicle frame.

A bumper spoiler structure includes: a bumper panel provided in a bumper of a vehicle; a bumper spoiler capable of advancing and retreating relative to the bumper panel by being moved in an inside-outside direction of the vehicle; a first actuator movable in the inside-outside direction and configured to move the bumper spoiler in the inside-outside direction; a first controller configured to control the first actuator; a second actuator configured to move the bumper spoiler and the first actuator in the inside-outside direction; and a second controller configured to control the second actuator. When at least one of the first actuator and the first controller is lost in a deployed state in which the bumper spoiler protrudes with respect to the bumper panel, the second controller moves the bumper spoiler and the first actuator toward an inner side of the vehicle by using the second actuator.

The present invention discloses an active extension type car front bumper. Three fixed sleeves are rigidly connected to a cross beam of a U-shaped fixed frame, an impact rod is fitted each fixed sleeve, a front end of each impact rod passes through the cross beam and is fixedly connected to the bumper, and a rear end of each impact rod is fixedly connected to a movable cross beam arranged horizontally left and right. Left and right longitudinal beams of the U-shaped fixed frame are each provided with a movable longitudinal beam that is movable forward and backward. Left and right ends of the movable cross beam respectively extend into the left and right longitudinal beams. A rear end of each movable longitudinal beam is fixedly connected to a hydraulic mechanism. An energy absorption mechanism is provided between every two adjacent fixed sleeves.

A garnish structure includes a garnish unit configured to be located on a surface of a lower door and to perform impact absorption and load support, wherein the garnish unit includes a first layer region configured to absorb energy, and a second layer region configured to withstand a collision. The garnish unit further includes a garnish panel forming an outer surface of the garnish unit, a first impact member formed inside the garnish panel, an absorbing member located in the first layer region, a spring member located inside the absorbing member, a second impact member formed inside the first impact member, and a damping spring located in the second layer region.

A protective device structure for a vehicle is provided that includes an outer surface or shell attached to or otherwise disposed upon a vehicle that covers a top edge of a vehicle to absorb impact. The protective device can include a compressible portion disposed in a cavity defined between the outer shell and the vehicle proximate to the top front wall of the vehicle.

A vehicle frame component for limiting the movement of the wheel of the vehicle toward the cab of a cab on frame vehicle including a base member welded to openings in the frame side rail and extending outwardly and located proximal the wheel structure. In one embodiment the vehicle frame component is located forward of the wheel and includes a tire puncture device to deflate the tire during an offset front impact and in a second embodiment the vehicle frame component is located rearward of the wheel. The vehicle frame component has particular utility during an offset front impact where the offset is less than approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the width of the vehicle.
