A rear bumper structure includes a lower side member at both sides of a vehicle parallel to a length direction of a floor panel and below the floor panel, an upper side member at both sides of the vehicle parallel to the length direction of the floor panel and above the floor panel and connected to the lower side member by a rear cross member, a bracket having a first end fixed to the lower side member and a second end extending in a bent form toward the rear of the vehicle, a bumper having a first end hinge-coupled to the second end of the bracket and a second end extending in a bent form from the first end toward an outside of the vehicle, and a crash box fixed to the second end of the bumper and coupled to the upper side member.

Provided is a bumper capable of improving a maneuvering stability of a vehicle. The bumper is a front bumper 7 to be attached to a front lower portion of a vehicle 1. Flow-straightening protrusions 31 each formed along a vehicular front-rear direction are provided on a lower portion of the front bumper 7 in a way such that they are aligned along a vehicular width direction across a region on an extended line 36 of a vehicular width direction inner end portion 2T of each of front wheels 2L, 2R of the vehicle 1. Thus, the occurrence of turbulent flows around the front wheels 2L, 2R can be restricted so that a vehicle stability can be improved.

A structural member for a vehicle includes bumper stays having a tubular configuration and fixed to each of front ends of a pair of front side members included in a vehicle, and a tubular bumper beam provided with holes and into which the bumper stay is inserted. Each of the bumper stays includes a first shock absorbing portion and a second shock absorbing portion provided adjacent to the first shock absorbing portion on an outer side.

A vehicle front end assembly includes a front portion of a vehicle frame structure. A bumper fascia is attached to the front portion of the vehicle frame structure. Further, a headlamp structure is attached to both the front portion of the vehicle frame structure and the bumper fascia.

A vehicle includes a vehicle frame. The vehicle frame includes a frame rail elongated along a vehicle-longitudinal axis that defines a hole. The vehicle includes a trailer hitch mount supported by the frame rail. The vehicle includes a face plate supported by the trailer hitch mount that defines an opening extending through the face plate that is aligned with the hole of the frame rail. The trailer hitch mount extends through the opening and is completely surrounded by the face plate. The trailer hitch mount extends into the hole of the frame rail along the vehicle-longitudinal axis.

A vehicle-body structure of a vehicle of the present invention comprises a bumper support portion provided at a vehicle body of the vehicle to support to bumper, a connection portion connecting the bumper and the bumper support portion and supporting the bumper, and a slide allowance portion configured to allow the bumper to slide in a vehicle longitudinal direction relative to the bumper support portion when a longitudinal load having a specified magnitude or larger is applied to the bumper from a vehicle outside, wherein the connection portion is provided on an upper face of the bumper support portion, and the slide allowance portion is configured to allow the longitudinal sliding of the bumper independently from the supporting of the bumper by the connection portion.

A multi-tubular beam for a vehicle, such as a vehicle structure or a bumper reinforcement, includes an elongated beam formed with a metal sheet. The metal sheet has a central section and outer sections extending along a length of the metal sheet. The outer sections are disposed in opposing directions from the outer edges of the central section to provide adjacent first and second tubular portions. The central section forms a common center wall between the adjacent first and second tubular portions. A first edge portion of the metal sheet is disposed along and in parallel alignment with the center wall. The first edge portion is attached to the center wall at a first weld joint to form the first tubular portion. The first weld joint includes a weld material that extends through a thickness of the center wall and into a thickness of the first edge portion.

In an embodiment a towing pipe connection structure includes a vehicle body rear member including an aluminum material, a towing pipe at least partially including an aluminum material and a connection bracket including a bumper back beam plate in contact with a back panel of a vehicle body and including an insertion hole into which the towing pipe is inserted, an engage plate having an engage hole to which the towing pipe is connected and a connection plate connecting the bumper back beam plate and the engage plate, wherein the connection bracket is connected to a rear member of the vehicle body, and wherein the connection bracket includes an aluminum material.

The vehicle horn configuration structure includes: a bumper beam arranged at a front of a vehicle and extending in a vehicle left-right direction; a bumper cover arranged at a position forward of the bumper beam in a vehicle front-rear direction; a horn component arranged at a position rearward of the bumper beam in the vehicle front-rear direction, and arranged at a position so that a sound-emitting part faces downward in a vehicle up-down direction and is located above a lower end of the bumper beam; and a duct component extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and arranged at a position located between the horn component and the bumper cover in the vehicle front-rear direction to guide a sound of the horn component to an opening provided on the bumper cover.

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.
