A mobile platform including a vehicle body, an elastic anti-collision strip and two trigger mechanisms is provided. The vehicle body has two side surfaces and a front side surface connected between the two side surfaces. A safety network is provided in the vehicle body. The elastic anti-collision strip includes an impact receiving section and two fixing sections respectively connected to the impact receiving section. The impact receiving section is arc-shaped and located on the front side surface. The two fixing sections are respectively fixed to the two side surfaces. The two trigger mechanisms are respectively fixed to the two side surfaces and connected to the two fixing sections. The trigger mechanisms are used to trigger the safety network according to a deformation condition of the impact receiving section. The two fixing sections are used to control the deformation condition. A driving method of the mobile platform is also provided.

A bumper structure of the present disclosure includes: a bumper face; a bumper beam; and an impact-absorbing member interposed to be compressively deformed between the exterior member and the movable-body-side rigid member. The movable-body-side rigid member, in an up-and-down direction of the movable-body-side rigid member, includes: a plurality of recesses recessed toward the movable body; and a protrusion protruding forward the movable body to be formed between the plurality of recesses. The plurality of recesses each have a vertical width gradually tapering toward the movable body, and the impact-absorbing member is fitted into at least two of the plurality of recesses.

A rail extension system (16), comprising: a vehicle rail (60); a bumper beam (20); a polymeric rail extension (1) comprising: a base (2) extending from one end of the rail extension having vehicle attachment configured to attach to the vehicle rail (60); a front member 4) configured for attachment to the bumper beam (20); a body (5) extending from the base (2) to the front member (4); an aperture (100) extending from the base (2) to the front member (4); a connection member (102) attached to the bumper beam (20) and extending through the aperture (100) to attach to the vehicle rail (60).

A bumper device for an automobile includes a bumper beam consisting of a fiber-reinforced resin and bumper extensions which consist of a fiber-reinforced resin. The bumper device for an automobile is characterized in that the bumper beam has a Θ-shaped cross-section and in that the bumper beam and the bumper extensions are molded integrally. The bumper device for an automobile has desirable strength and rigidity and is capable of exhibiting excellent energy absorption performance when a large load is inputted to the bumper beam.

An impact absorbing structure for a vehicle according to the present invention includes: a resin frame member extending in a vehicle front-rear direction and having an opening portion in a surface thereof on one side in a vehicle width direction; and a strut member disposed in the opening portion of the frame member. The frame member includes a frame body having the opening portion, and a rib protruding at least either upward or downward from the frame body and extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. The strut member is disposed between a pair of opening edges for defining an upper edge and a lower edge of the opening portion and at a position abuttable against the paired opening edges, when the frame member is deformed by input of a load at a time of oblique collision from upward or oblique collision from downward.

A deformation device for a motor vehicle has two elements that can move together in the event of a collision and optionally locked. A locking device has a first centrifugal lever which is pivotably mounted about a first pivot axis located on the first element, a first torsion spring arranged about the first pivot axis and operatively connected to the first centrifugal lever, a first rolling surface and a first contact surface arranged distally to same, as well as a second centrifugal lever neighboring the first centrifugal lever and with a substantially identical design. In a low-speed crash, the two centrifugal levers each swivel about their pivot axes such that the two rolling surfaces are in contact with one another and the two contact surfaces each rest against a corresponding receiving surface on the second element. In an accident situation representing a pedestrian, the two centrifugal levers each swivel about the pivot axes such that the two rolling surfaces are in contact with one another, while the first contact surface and the second contact surface are at a distance from the second element.
