[Field of Invention]

The present invention relates to a bumper of an automobile, and more particularly, to a bumper sag prevention bracket of an automobile installed in a bumper to prevent the bumper from sagging due to the weight of the automobile bumper.

[Prior art]

Typically, a bumper of a vehicle absorbs the impact to some extent in a collision with a vehicle or an external object while driving the vehicle to reduce the amount of impact transmitted to the vehicle body, thereby preventing damage or injury of the vehicle and the driver or the occupant of the vehicle. It is usually installed at the front and rear.

The bumper of an automobile is divided into three parts, and the bumper face is located at the front of the vehicle and is visible from the outside and is usually made of polypropylene plastic. The inner structure of the bumper face is a bumper reinforcement (reinforcement) made of AZDEL (polypropylene + reinforced fiber), and an energy absorber form is located between the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement.

The bumper face is fixed with plastic fasteners, and the bumper reinforcement is fastened with nuts to the threaded bumper face. The bumper face and the bumper reinforcement are usually joined to each other by means of screws via a bracket with an energy absorber foam in between, and these bumpers are mounted to the motor vehicle by fixing the bumper reinforcement to the bumper stay with bolts.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a bumper of a vehicle, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional bumper mounting structure taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1, showing the coupling relationship between the upper end of the bumper face and the bumper stay. will be. The bumper face and the bumper reinforcement are joined to each other by bolts or other fastening means via the bumper bracket.

These bumpers may cause sagging due to the weight of the bumper when mounted on the bumper stay in the vehicle, such as bolts, due to the weight of the bumper face, the bumper reinforcement and the energy absorber foam located between them, preventing sagging. The bumper edges are reinforced with a reinforcing member for this purpose, but the main means for preventing sagging rely on a bracket connecting the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement to each other.

The bracket has a structure that connects the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement to each other at the top and bottom as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG.

However, the conventional bumper shown in FIG. 1 and as described above has a structure in which the bracket connects the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement with each other at the bottom and the bottom, so that the bracket located at the bottom during assembly is held by hand. Since the upper bracket must be assembled in a fixed state, there is a problem in that it is difficult to assemble the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement using the bracket.

[Field of Invention]

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bumper sag prevention bracket for an automobile, which is composed of upper and lower brackets having a structure in which bumpers are easily assembled with each other.

The above object is provided between the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement by preventing the bumper from sagging due to its own weight, and in the bracket for preventing bumper sag of an automobile composed of upper and lower brackets, the upper bracket is connected to the bumper face. It is provided on top of the bumper reinforcement and a through slot is formed, and the lower bracket is provided on the bumper face and the bottom of the bumper reinforcement, and is supported by the bumper reinforcement through the space between the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement to support the bumper reinforcement. The vehicle according to the invention, wherein the upper bracket is positioned on the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement so that the through bracket of the upper bracket receives the locking jaw of the lower bracket. Is achieved by the bumper sag prevention bracket.

[Description of Preferred Embodiment]

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state using the bumper sag prevention bracket of the vehicle according to the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 1, in the bumper sagging prevention bracket of the motor vehicle according to the present invention, an upper bracket 1 is provided on the bumper face 4 and the bumper reinforcement 5. The upper bracket 1 is formed with a through slot 4 at a portion coinciding with the space between the bumper face 4 and the bumper reinforcement 5.

On the other hand, the lower bracket 2 is provided at the bottom of the bumper face 4 and the bumper reinforcement 5 and penetrates the space between the bumper face 4 and the bumper reinforcement 5, thereby providing a bumper reinforcement 5. ) Has a locking jaw (6) supported. The locking jaw 6 has a shape as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As described above, with the locking jaw 6 of the lower bracket 1 supported on the bumper reinforcement 5, the upper bracket 1 is provided on the top of the bumper face 4 and the bumper reinforcement 5. do. At this time, the through slot 2 of the upper bracket 1 penetrates the space between the bumper face 4 and the bumper reinforcement 5 to accommodate the latching jaw 6 supported by the bumper reinforcement 5. Is located at the location.

Therefore, the bumper sag prevention bracket of the vehicle according to the present invention is the upper bracket (1) is bumper face (4) and bumper reinforcement in the state that the engaging jaw (6) of the lower bracket (2) is supported on the bumper reinforcement (5) It is installed in the water (5).

On the other hand, the locking jaw (6) formed in the lower bracket (2) is preferably formed in the corner portion is rounded to prevent the injury caused by the user is scratched on the corner portion of the locking jaw (6) during assembly.

Therefore, according to the bumper sag prevention bracket of the vehicle according to the present invention as described above, since the upper bracket is installed on the bumper face and the bumper reinforcement while the lower bracket is supported on the bumper reinforcement, the bumper due to the weight of the bumper The assembly of the sag prevention bracket has the advantage that it is easy to install.
