Bumper fitting part structure

Abstract

PURPOSE:To absorb load applied to a bumper due to collision or the like positively by providing a side member with a fragile part disposed in the approximately axial symmetric position to the load input part from a bumper stay. CONSTITUTION:When large load is applied to a bumper 4 due to collision or the like, the load is inputted as the bending moment to a side member 1 from the junction end A of a bumper stay. Flexural deformation (this flexural deformed part is shown as M) is then generated to the side member 1, in the proximity of the load input part (the junction end A), and approximately at the same time, similar flexural deformation (this flexural deformed part is shown as N) is generated to a fragile part disposed in approximately axial symmetry to M, that is, the part where beads 9, 10 and a cutout 12 are located. As a result, the side member 1 is not bent only in one direction but squeezed axially in the state of an accordion. The load applied to the bumper due to collision or the like can be thereby absorbed positively by high energy absorbing force generated at the time of this squeeze.
