Abstract

1355203 Vehicle bumpers A S BECKLEY 5 May 1971 [8 May 1970 22 Feb 1971] 52596/73 Divided out of 1355201 Heading B7J A motor vehicle bumper comprises a plate 54, Fig. 12, of impact resistant material such as a rigid thermoplastics laminate, arranged to be fixedly disposed over a portion of vehicle, and a mass 55 of cellular, shock-absorbing polymeric material of greater thickness than plate 54 disposed on the side of the plate which is outwards in use, preferably covering the whole of this side. The mass 55 presents an outward surface area of at least 1,000 square inches and is of uniform thickness which is at least 4 inches, preferably 9 to 24 inches, for use at the front end of the vehicle and is at least 2 inches, preferably 4 to 12 inches, for use at the vehicle rear end. Preferred properties of the cellular polymeric material are given, it preferably being a blown compatible blend of 45 to 60% thermoplastic resin, 30 to 45% NBR and 6 to 12% plasticizer. As shown in Fig. 1, the mass 11 of cellular polymeric material is separated into two layers by a sheet 13 of the same laminate material as the bumper plate 4. The bumper is held in shape by inextensible elements 17 connecting plate 4 and sheet 13, and inextensible straps 20 around mass 11. The bumper is reinforced by a transverse chassis member 7, and side and top portions of the vehicle body shell which are in contact with and of the same laminate material as the bumper plate 4. Interior crash pads 30 and 31 are also described.
