Reinforced body in white and reinforcement therefor
A structural body of a vehicle comprises: a hollow component comprising walls that define a channel, wherein the component has a component length, and wherein the component is selected from the group consisting of beam, rail (58), pillar (50,52,54,5), chassis, floor rocker (60), and cross-bar, or combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing; and a plastic-metal hybrid reinforcement (1) having cavities therethrough (14), and a support (6) having greater than or equal to 3 walls forming a support channel. The plastic element (4) is located in the support channel (6) wherein the reinforcement (1) is located in the component channel.

Bumpers including energy diverting bumper structures and vehicles incorporating the same
A bumper includes a bumper beam assembly including a bumper reinforcement beam having a bumper central portion and bumper extension portions at outboard ends of the bumper reinforcement beam. A reinforcement bracket is positioned on a front side of the bumper beam assembly at an outboard end of the bumper beam assembly. An energy diverting bumper structure is positioned on a front side of the reinforcement bracket.
BUMPER ABSORBER
In order to absorb collision energy so as to prevent an increase in reaction force against a pedestrian to a level higher than or equal to a certain level during collision, a bumper absorber of the present invention includes: a trunk part that extends in an X direction and that is simply compressed in the X direction in response to an impact; and a branch part that branches off from the trunk part toward a rear of a vehicle body, the branch part having a branching part in which the branch part branches off from the trunk part and which is provided with a breakage inducing part that causes breakage between the trunk part and the branch part in response to the impact.

APPARATUS FOR OUTPUTTING VIRTUAL ENGINE SOUND
An apparatus for outputting a virtual engine sound includes: an output device that outputs the virtual engine sound; a bumper beam connected to a rear surface of the output device; and a bumper foam connected to the output device and the bumper beam while opening left and right side surfaces of the output device. The apparatus for outputting a virtual engine sound may improve a virtual engine sound output efficiency by utilizing a sound pressure radiated from a side surface of the virtual engine sound output device.

Vehicle front structure
An increased amount of absorption of a load from the diagonally upper front side is achieved even in, for example, a vehicle having a high vehicle height. A first shock absorbing member is provided inside a bumper face upper to absorb a load from the diagonally upper front side, a second shock absorbing member is mounted on a front face portion of a bumper beam, and a third shock absorbing member is disposed below the first shock absorbing member and between a bumper face and the bumper beam to absorb a load from the diagonally upper front side. The rigidity of the first and third shock absorbing members in the up-down direction is higher than rigidity of the second shock absorbing member in the front-rear direction.
