A device for protecting the bumper of a vehicle having an undercarriage includes a bumper protector which is connectable to the undercarriage of the vehicle. The bumper protector includes a cushion which is positionable to (1) a retracted position beneath the undercarriage of the vehicle, and (2) an extended position outwardly projecting from the vehicle. In the extended position the cushion is rotatable to an upright position outside the bumper of the vehicle. The cushion protects the bumper during a collision with another vehicle or object.

A bumper assembly having a transverse bumper body and at least one wing extension that is configured for pivotal movement relative to a side end of the transverse bumper body. Each wing extension has inner and outer surfaces and is moveable from a rest position to an impact position in response to an impact force acting within a horizontal plane. In the rest position, the outer surface of each wing extension is parallel or substantially parallel to the transverse axis, and in the impact position, the outer surface of the wing extension is positioned at an acute angle relative to the transverse axis. Each wing extension is configured to return to its rest position in response to removal of the impact force.

A vehicle mirror and camera mounting system includes a camera mounting bracket that includes an injection molded bracket formed by injection molding a polymeric molding resin. A camera, when its camera module is attached at the camera mounting bracket at the vehicle windshield, has a field of view through the vehicle windshield. The camera mounting bracket includes a mirror attachment portion configured for attaching an interior rearview mirror assembly thereat. At least one cover element is attached at (i) the camera mounting bracket, (ii) the camera module and/or (iii) the mirror mount so that the camera module and the camera mounting bracket are not readily viewable to a person viewing the construction from inside the vehicle. The mirror mount includes an electrical connector for electrical connection to (i) a connector at the camera module or (ii) a wire harness of the vehicle, with the connection hidden from view.

Protection devices provide operational safety for vehicles. The efficiency of a safety device is enhanced by improving operational reliability in frontal and lateral collisions and simplicity of restoring its structural integrity after collision. A vehicle protection device has a base, and a barrier located in front of the base and fastened to the base by at least two struts having one end attached to the barrier and the other end to the base. Each strut has at least two separate rod-shaped elements featuring holes along their longitudinal axes; and containing detachable joints at their ends; the elements can stay connected with each other by a flexible element passing through the holes of all rod-shaped elements. The struts can be mutually disconnected under axial or lateral load. The flexible element is configured to interact with a base-mounted mechanism for activating the sensor of the vehicle stopping system.
