  • Front body structure of a vehicle for enhanced crash protection
    Patent number: 9849914
    Abstract: A front body structure of a vehicle for enhanced crash protection includes: a front bumper beam extending transversely across a body of the vehicle; a pair of longitudinal sidemembers extending longitudinally along the vehicle body; a front bumper tip enclosure attached to the front bumper beam and substantially enclosing an end portion of the front bumper beam; and a sidemember angle tie extending at an angle with respect to the longitudinal sidemembers, a front end of the sidemember angle tie attached to the front bumper tip enclosure, and a rear end of the sidemember angle tie attached to one of the longitudinal sidemembers. The sidemember angle tie changes a direction of an impact load on the vehicle body to a longitudinal direction by transferring the impact load along an angular path to the one of the longitudinal sidemembers to which the sidemember angle tie is attached.
