Furthermore, at least one duct is formed when the first retainer and the second retainer are assembled.

Abstract: A bumper bar comprised of joined together stampings defining a closed box section has a cage attached inside the bumper bar and overlying an elongated opening in the bumper bar. The elongated opening has a major dimension which extends in the direction of desired adjusting movement of the bumper bar relative to the structural member upon which bumper bar is to be mounted. A bolt has a bolt head at least sufficiently smaller than the elongated opening to permit axial insertion of the bolt head through the elongated opening. The bolt head has a major dimension greater than the minor dimension of the elongated opening so that a quarter-turn rotation of the bolt subsequent to insertion through the elongated opening will align the major dimension of the head for engagement with the bumper bar to prevent removal of the bolt from the elongated opening.

Abstract: This bumper assembly forms a streamlined end of a vehicle and incorporates a channeled inner spring bumper which supports a cellular energy absorber unit and displaceable lamp assemblies. The lamp assemblies are displaced to a protected position within the inner bumper as the energy absorber unit and the inner spring bumper operate to dissipate impact energy.

Abstract: A spare wheel carrier includes a spare wheel support member mounting brackets adjacent one end thereof having L-shaped slots. Pivots mounted on the vehicle are engageable with the ends of either legs of the slots to locate the support member different distances from the floor of the vehicle so as to support different thickness spare wheels.
