ι MONAPAT

In practice, an omnibus is the one mentioned at the beginning Kind of known in which the bumper is made of Ketall and is attached to the body panel or to the body seams concealed behind it. the The body paneling consists of sheet metal, which is mainly in one piece below the light and radiator grille strip is formed together with the apron.

To clean the windshield of the bus, points the bumper on their top / fought that the Has the shape of a square tread the size of a ball of a ball.

The well-known omnibus is expensive to manufacture. The metal bumper must be stable, to survive minor bumps undamaged. The construction of the flap is complex because the same The bumper must be firmly attached to the apron. Attaching the steps means an additional effort.

The present invention is based on the object of further developing the vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that d ȧ the smock area of the bumper or the flap with the advantage of a stable and accident-free training and is inexpensive to manufacture.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the bumper in the area of the flap together with the their associated part of the apron is formed in one piece from integral foam and the flap is an axle bearing containing the support frame, the same on the back of the Elappe with a step board for climbing is equipped.

In the invention, the smock area, which is made in one piece from integral foam together with the apron, offers the Bumper a central Sto3-po3ster in relation to the center of the vehicle, dss, since the apron is also made from the integral foam, it can withstand minor accidents undamaged. In the case of smaller impacts, the integral foam retracts elastically and then takes on its original shape Shape a. In the case of larger impacts, it is necessary to dismantle the foam parts from the support frame, whereupon these then go back to their original form and are then fully functional again.

During production, there is the advantage that the bumper is foamed together with the apron in one operation can be. This makes it cheaper to manufacture en & rm.

Another advantage of the solution according to the invention is it can be seen that the support frame is provided with a step board that fulfills several functions at the same time. The running board can be used as a step to clean the inside of the vehicle. There the flap

is relatively wide, there is now also a wide footboard available, which you can not only use as before the front of the foot, but with both feet on it can stand. The footboard also has the function of lining the middle area of the bumper and to make it torsion and shock resistant.

When the flap is swiveled in, the footboard disappears behind the same, causing it to be at the front of the vehicle is no longer visually disturbing.

In the following an embodiment of the invention is described with reference to a drawing. Ξε shows:

Figure 1 is a front view of a bus,

FIG. 2 shows the front view of the one shown in FIG

Omnibuses, but he swords with he rabge Flap, and

Figure 3 is a vertical section through the bumper along the line III-III in Figure Λ .

In FIG Λ the drawing, a bus 1 is shown above a downwardly extending skirt 3 has on its front side 2 a bumper 4, which extends over the entire vehicle width. In the putty area 5, the bumper is together with the part assigned to it

of the apron 3 molded in one piece from integral foam and forms a flap 6, which is arranged around a horizontal axis A can be pivoted down from the closed position shown in FIG. 1 into the open position shown in FIG is. In the swiveled down position there dre flap 6 gives access to one behind it Spare wheel 7 free.

As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the front side is made in one piece from integral foam Flap backed by a support frame 8, which is only indicated schematically in the drawing is. The support frame is made of square tubes and holds the foam part with help, among other things of anchors 9 cast in the foam. Figure 3 can be seen that two such attachments. in the area of the bumper, one is provided on the lower edge of the apron; there is also the Flap axis A indicated, -which are located between the free Edge of the apron and a carrier 10 shown schematically is located. Behind the bumper are two in the closed position the flap can be seen horizontal struts 11, which directly support the bumper on a vertical Support 12 are used. This carrier also serves to support a footboard 13 indicated in FIG. which is horizontal when the flap is open, so that it can be used to clean the window panes or the windshield wipers can be climbed. From Figure 2 it can be seen that
