Front bumper assembly 200 for mounting a seat and ballast means and add-on structure in vehicle is provided. Front bumper assembly 200 includes a bumper frame 202, a mounting member 204 and a plurality of reinforcement members 206. The bumper frame 202 includes a base frame 202B and a plurality of legs 202L. The front bumper assembly 200 is removably connected to a vehicular structure C at a first position in which each leg 202L of the bumper frame 202 is horizontally connected to the vehicular structure C, and a second position in which each leg 202L of the bumper frame 202 is vertically connected to the vehicular structure C. The front bumper assembly 200 is adapted to removably receive at least one of an operator's seat S, a ballast means and an add-on structure when the front bumper assembly 200 is in the second position.

A motor vehicle body structure includes a frame rail and a bracket attached to the rail and adapted for attaching an engine mount. The bracket has a first portion secured to the frame rail beneath the engine mount and at least one cantilever portion projecting at one end beyond the first portion. The cantilever portion defines an anchoring point for attachment of the engine mount that is spaced from the frame rail so that the portion of the frame rail beneath the anchoring point may undergo controlled deformation in the event of a front end vehicle collision.

A bumper-reinforcing system (1) intended for a motor vehicle includes: a bumper beam (2) with a single-piece elongated profile with a closed cross section and including a center zone (21) extending at least over part of the entire width of the bumper beam and an end zone (22) at each extremity of the bumper beam, two bumper fasteners (3) connected to the rear side of the bumper beam (2) at the intersection between the center zone (21) and the end zone (22) of the bumper beam (2), two reinforcing tubes (4) connected by their first end to the rear side of the end zone (22) of the bumper beam (2), extending from the bumper beam (2) so as to form an angle α below 45° with the vertical plane of symmetry of the bumper beam and suited to be connected by their other end on the front rail of the vehicle for which the bumper-reinforcing system (1) is provided, and two covers (5) with a single-piece elongated profile with an open cross section, in contact with the rear side of the end zone (22) of the bumper beam (2) and extending at least from the first end of one of the reinforcing tubes (4) to one of the bumper fasteners (3).

A bumper assembly includes a bumper beam, an inner extension, an outer extension, and a reinforcing element. The bumper beam extends longitudinally from a first end to a second end. The inner extension is welded to the first end of the bumper beam, and the outer extension is welded to the inner extension. The inner extension and the outer extension are elongated from the bumper beam and define an elongated cavity therebetween. The reinforcing element is fastened to the inner extension and disposed in and elongated along the cavity.

A bumper assembly includes a bumper beam, an extension, a crush can, and a bracket. The bumper beam extends longitudinally from a first end to a second end. The extension attaches to the first end of the bumper beam and has a segment parallel to the bumper beam and a leg extending transversely relative to the bumper beam. The crush can is attached to the segment. The bracket extends from the extension and is welded to the crush can.

The present invention comprises a novel design for an aerial work platform that is mounted on the front of a pickup truck. This design combines the functionality of an enclosed aerial work platform with handrails and fall restraint systems while maintaining its functionality as a push bumper. In the transport position the deck folds down flat against the front of the vehicle minimizing front offset variances. When the intended to be used as an elevated work platform, integrated handrails can be deployed out from under the deck and raised and locked into position prior to use. Upon returning it to the flat transport position, the invention can be used to push straight smaller leaning street signs, push stranded vehicles out of the travel lane or be used to push foreign object debris such as animal carcasses, household debris (sofas, mattresses, large appliances etc.), tumbleweed or trees onto the shoulder of the travelled roadway. The invention may also be used as an instant work bench, capable of being outfitted with optional clips capable of receiving a variety of tools.
