  • Patent number: 10214169
    Abstract: A bumper-reinforcing system (1) intended for a motor vehicle includes: a bumper beam (2) with a single-piece elongated profile with a closed cross section and including a center zone (21) extending at least over part of the entire width of the bumper beam and an end zone (22) at each extremity of the bumper beam, two bumper fasteners (3) connected to the rear side of the bumper beam (2) at the intersection between the center zone (21) and the end zone (22) of the bumper beam (2), two reinforcing tubes (4) connected by their first end to the rear side of the end zone (22) of the bumper beam (2), extending from the bumper beam (2) so as to form an angle ? below 45° with the vertical plane of symmetry of the bumper beam and suited to be connected by their other end on the front rail of the vehicle for which the bumper-reinforcing system (1) is provided, and two covers (5) with a single-piece elongated profile with an open cross section, in contact with the rear side of the end zone (22) of the bumper beam (2)

  • Patent number: 8286765
    Abstract: A mechanical device including an elongated structural element provided for absorbing, at least in part, certain shocks by deformation. The structural element or piece has a selected right sectional profile, the profile being provided with localized alterations, shapes, and with selected respective positions for approximately satisfying a given law of deformation under the combined effort of compression in an axis of the piece and of the moment of the axis perpendicular to a plane passing through the axis. The law includes an energy absorption phase followed by a retraction of the piece.

  • Patent number: 7900964
    Abstract: A section of a motor vehicle front low area includes a first extendable elongated part, whose rear end is placed in front of a vehicle structural element embodied in a form of a cradle, whereas the front end thereof is connected to a bar-type structural element of the vehicle by a first connection device. The rear end of the first elongated part is movably mounted in front of the cradle-shaped vehicle structural element. The first connection device includes a connection in a form of a slide bar enabling a substantially longitudinal movement to be carried out and a removable stop member for normally hindering movement up to the removal.
