Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an adapter panel for an automobile bumper which is mounted on the front surface of a large automobile such as an automobile, particularly a truck.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, bumpers are attached to all cars to protect the front and rear parts of the car body.

Recently, in trucks such as trucks, it has become popular to install a bumper so that the bumper protrudes as much as possible toward the front of the vehicle body.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if an off-the-shelf automobile bumper is installed so that it projects toward the front, the left and right corners of the bumper also project forward from the left and right parts of the vehicle body, so the hidden left and right corners of the vehicle body become spaces. There was the inconvenience that it appeared on the table. Further, there is also a disadvantage that the upper surface also has an elongated space.

This invention was made with attention to the above points, and it is easily attached to the ends of the left and right corners of a ready-made automobile bumper to project the automobile bumper toward the front of the vehicle body. It is an object of the present invention to provide an adapter panel for a vehicle bumper that can conceal both front and rear corners of the vehicle body to ensure vehicle body protection.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention can solve the above problems by providing the following configurations.

(1) An extension piece having a stop formed vertically inside the ends of both bent corners of an automobile bumper, and a stop protruding vertically from the end that can be fixed to the stop. An adapter panel for an automobile bumper, which comprises:

(2) The automobile bumper adapter panel according to (1), wherein the extension piece has a cross-section [shape in which the upper and lower parts are folded back.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Below, the aspect of one Example of this invention is demonstrated.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment intended for a profile type bumper for a truck, and FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) are extension pieces showing an embodiment of an adapter panel for an automobile bumper according to the present invention. 2A and 2B are side views of the same, FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged oblique view of the mounting state, FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view of the same, and FIG. 5 is an automobile bumper. FIG. 6 is a top view of the installed state, and FIG. 6 is a top cover for a vehicle bumper attached to the top surface of FIG.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an automobile bumper, for example, a profia type bumper, 2 curved left and right corners, and 3 end portions thereof. Reference numeral 4 denotes a stop piece, which can be firmly fixed vertically to the back surface of the end portion 3 of the bumper 1 by welding or an adhesive. Reference numeral 5 denotes a stop portion provided on the extension piece 6 that can come into contact with the stop piece 4, and is provided at an end portion of the extension piece 6 so as to vertically project rearward.

The extension piece 6 has a desired length in the form of a panel. By the way, the automobile bumper 1 is provided with a projecting front surface 1a slightly bent in an arc shape and left and right corners 2 integrally, and has a bent portion 1b at the upper and lower portions thereof and has a cross-section shape of]. Therefore, the front surface of the extension piece 6 also has the shape of the projecting front surface 6a, and the upper and lower portions also have the bent portions 6b. Similarly, the stop piece 4 also has a similar front end portion 4a and upper and lower end portions 4b.

Further, the stopper 4 and the stopper 5 are provided with a required number of mounting holes 7 and 8 facing each other. Then, a screw rod 9 is inserted into these holes 7 and 8 like a bolt and screwed and tightened with a screw ring 10 such as a nut via a washer to prevent loosening, whereby the extension piece 6 is fixed to the stop piece 4. It can be extended and fixed to the edge of the automobile bumper 1 through the.

As shown in FIG. 3, the end portions 4a of the stoppers 4 are vertically attached to the insides of the end portions 3 at both corners of the automobile bumper 1 by heat welding or an adhesive as shown in FIG. Securely fix it.

Then, the stopper 5 on the connecting side of the extension piece 6 is brought into contact with the stopper 4, the mounting holes 7 and 8 are aligned with each other, the screw rod 9 is inserted, and the screw ring 10 is used to prevent the washer from loosening. Securely connect and fix by screwing and tightening.

In this way, the extension piece 6 can be attached to the end 3 of the automobile bumper 1 without steps.

It should be noted that the extension piece 6 is a panel having a desired length and can be formed of a metal, plastic, hard rubber of the same or different material as the automobile bumper 1 of a desired material, and is made of steel and chrome plated to have a high height. A sense of quality can also be added.

Next, FIG. 6 will be described.

The one shown in FIG. 6 is the same as the one shown in the invention of Japanese Patent Application No. 9-283 filed previously, and is a bumper for being attached to the upper part of the automobile bumper with the extension plate of FIG. A top plate for a vehicle, which has an outer shape portion 12 equal to the shape of the upper surface of the automobile bumper 1, and an elongated plate body 15 having an inner shape portion 14 that can be mounted on an angle 13 stretched inside the automobile bumper 1. In addition, the plate body 15 is provided with a structure having a projecting edge portion 16 reaching the upper surfaces of the left and right extension pieces 6. Then, a rib 17 for reinforcement is formed in the lateral direction in the upper lid, and a large number of small holes 18 are formed in the upper lid and the automobile bumper 1 and the extension piece 6 so as to correspond to the upper lid. It can be fixedly installed on the bumper 1 and its extension piece 6.

The upper lid can also be made of the same or different material as the automobile bumper 1 such as metal, plastic, hard rubber, etc., but it can also be given a high-class feeling by applying a steel chrome plating treatment.

[0021]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to this invention, even if the automobile bumper is projected forward from the actual mounting position, the extension piece can be attached to the end of the bent corner of the automobile bumper without any steps through the connecting stopper, and the upper lid is also attached. Therefore, there is an effect that the space generated between the vehicle body and the vehicle body can be easily shielded.
