Abstract

Provided is a multi-part metal bumper 20, comprising metal segments 200, 210, 220 that are removably connected to each other, that is removably attachable to a vehicle chassis. The segments 200, 210, 220, which can be removably connected to each other and/or the vehicle chassis via connector plates 205a, 205b, 215, 225, can have C-shaped cross-sections; and can be pressed metal pieces formed from plate metal. Each segment 200, 210, 220 can comprise a recess that can receive a mesh 250 suitable for cooling purposes, with the recess 208 of the central segment 200 also being suitable for receiving a winch or winch holder. A skid plate 260 comprising mesh can be removably connected to the central portion 200. Also provided is a vehicle 10 comprising the bumper 20.

Description

In another embodiment, the central bumper segment may comprise a first set of connector plates at its first end and a second set of connector plates at its second end, wherein the first side bumper segment comprises a third set of connector plates at an end that is adjacent to the central bumper segment, and wherein the second side bumper segment comprises a fourth set of connector plates at an end that is adjacent to the central bumper segment. Such an arrangement where the first and second sets of connectors plates are adjacent to the third and fourth sets of connector plates respectively offers a compact design that advantageously allows for a single cover element to cover more than one connector plate.
In another embodiment, the plurality of bumper segments may be removably connected to each other and/or the chassis via connector plates, wherein the connector plates are overlapping connector plates. The plurality of bumper segments being removably connected to each other via overlapping connector plates advantageously reinforces the connection between the bumper segments. This offers a more stable and secure multi-part metal bumper.
In another embodiment, each of the overlapping connector plates may comprise at least one fastening hole, wherein the fastening holes of overlapping connector plates are aligned to receive a common fastener for removably connecting the overlapping connector plates with each other and/or the chassis.
In another embodiment, the multi-part metal bumper may comprise at least one cover element at least partially covering the overlapping connector plates. The multi-part metal bumper comprising at least one cover element advantageously reinforces the connection of the plurality of bumper segments between each other and protects the connector plates from damage.
In another embodiment, the central bumper segment may comprise a recess for receiving a winch or a winch holder. The recess allows for the winch or winch holder to be partly surrounded by the central bumper segment, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the winch and the multi-part bumper.
In another embodiment, at least one of the plurality of bumper segments may comprise an opening, wherein a grid component is removably received in said opening. In use, the grid may be arranged to extend in a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of travel. The plurality of bumper segments comprising an opening for receiving a grid
