  • Bumper reinforcement beam with varied bending moment
    Patent number: 9527465
    Abstract: A bumper reinforcement beam includes a beam having a length and mounts at ends of the beam and cross sectional shapes at various locations along the length, including a first cross sectional shape near ends of the beam providing a first bending moment and a second cross sectional shape at a center of the beam providing a second bending moment different than the first bending moment, and further including intermediate cross sectional shapes between the ends and center having intermediate bending moments between the first and second bending moments. The cross sections may define open C-shapes or may include a tubular shape.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2016
    Assignee: Shape Corp.
    Inventors: Thomas J. Johnson, Brian E. Malkowski, Brian P. Oxley
