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.

An energy absorber for a vehicle, comprising: a continuous beam to extend across a width of vehicle, the beam defining a plurality of inward facing cavities in a center section, with adjacent inward facing cavities separated from one another by an inward facing rib, and at each end portion a plurality of outward facing cavities, with adjacent outward facing cavities separated from one another by an outward facing rib, wherein the center section includes a panel that is continuous on its outward side, and that forms a relative bottom of each of the plurality of inward facing cavities with its inward face.

A bumper module for a vehicle includes a cross beam and two fastening flanges for fastening the cross beam to a longitudinal body beam. A layer included of fiber-reinforced plastic extends continuously from the cross beam until into the fastening flange.

A crash box system is provided. The crash box system includes “V” shaped leaf springs located between a front plate and a rear plate, wherein the “V” shaped leaf springs have been placed. vertically to the front plate and rear plate at wing corners. The crash box system further includes a cylindrical beveled tube placed inside an outer tube having an unconventional structure. The “V” shaped leaf springs, the outer tube, re-entrant hexagonal bottom imperfections and re-entrant hexagonal top imperfections, the cylindrical beveled tube and a cylindrical tube trigger mechanism provided in the crash box system, enables energy absorption such that peak forces are kept low at different times. By this means aim of the crash box system to prevent, injuries and traumas that occur due to accident effects such as a whiplash effect during accidents at different speeds.

A bumper crossmember for a vehicle, with a hollow profile body which has a vehicle frame-side proximal vertical wall and a distal vertical wall which are connected to one another by way of transverse walls and extend along a vertical direction. The transverse walls laterally delimit hollow chambers which are arranged in the hollow profile body. The center longitudinal direction of the hollow chambers are oriented in each case along the vertical direction, and the hollow chambers are open on the end side.

A deformation structure has at least a first layer and a second layer, which are spaced apart from each other and are mounted to be movable relative to each other in the deformation direction or load direction. The first layer and the second layer have complementary protrusions and recesses, which are designed such that the protrusions of the first layer can dip into the recesses of the second layer and vice versa. The first layer and the second layer are connected to each other by deformable connecting pieces such that, in the event of a high impulse in the deformation direction, the protrusions of the first layer dip into the recesses of the second layer and the protrusions of the second layer dip into the recesses of the first layer such that the deformation structure is deformed in the deformation direction at a relatively low level of force and, in the event of a low impulse in the deformation direction, the protrusions of the first layer hit the protrusions of the second layer such that the deformation structure is deformed further in the deformation direction at a relatively high level of force. The deformation control device is formed or produced separately from the first and the second layer and is removably or non-removably connected to the first layer and the second layer.

A vehicle bumper assembly includes a first energy absorbing member extending in a lateral direction of a vehicle. A reinforcement member extends in the lateral direction of the vehicle and is connected to the first energy absorbing member. A second energy absorbing member is connected to the reinforcement member. The second energy absorbing member includes a first bracket member configured to be connected to a vehicle body structure of the vehicle. A retaining member extends outwardly from the first bracket member. The retaining member has a first portion having a substantially constant first height and a second portion having a second height less than the first height. At least one first compression member is movably disposed in the retaining member. The at least one first compression member is configured to move through the retaining member responsive to an impact event.

A crash box system is provided. The crash box system includes V shaped leaf springs located between a front plate and a rear plate, wherein straight leaf springs have been placed vertically to the front plate and rear plate at wing winged corners. The crash box system further includes a cylindrical inner tube having a bevelled or outer tapered end surface being placed inside an outer tube having a rectangular cross-sectional structure with radiused outer corners and a reduced cross-sectional middle section. The V shaped leaf springs, the outer tube further having re-entrant hexagonal bottom imperfections and re-entrant hexagonal top imperfections, and the cylindrical inner tube having the bevelled or outer tapered end surface to provide the crash box system with energy absorption capabilities such that peak forces are kept low at different times. By this structural arrangement, the aim of the crash box system is to prevent injuries and traumas that occur due to accident effects such as a whiplash effect during accidents at different speeds.
