Patent number: 10300872Abstract: A bumper beam formed of fiber reinforced resin containing continuous fibers oriented at least in the vehicle width direction sufficiently absorbs the collision energy of a high-speed collision in the fiber reinforced resin. The bumper beam also has a center portion positioned in the center in the vehicle width direction and protruding outward in the front-back direction, and right and left outer portions inclined from the respective ends of the center portion seen in the vehicle width direction toward the inner side in the front-back direction. The outer portions each have a resin foam member protruding outward in front-back direction. Thus, at the time of a low speed collision, the resin foam member is crushed to absorb part of the collision energy so that the energy is absorbed and distributed over the center and outer portions, protecting the car body frame from deformation.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomoya Yabu, Shigeto Yasuhara, Tadayuki Uchida, Akira Hojo, Masakazu Kashiwagi, Junichiro Araki

Patent number: 9487168Abstract: An automobile bumper beam to be disposed in a vehicle width direction includes: a small sectional area portion at a center in the vehicle width direction; paired sectional area changing portions continuous to outsides in the vehicle width direction of the small sectional area portion; and paired large sectional area portions continuous to outsides in the vehicle width direction of the sectional area changing portions. The small sectional area portion projects most outward in a front-rear direction at paired impact load input portions. Thus, impact load in minor collision is inputted as two-point concentrated load to the paired input portions of a bumper beam body, reducing a peak value of bending moment acting on the body, and the sectional area changing portions and large sectional area portions bear the moment, thereby enhancing strength of the body, reducing its thickness and weight, and achieving an excellent collision energy absorbing effect.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoya Yabu, Masakazu Kashiwagi, Yusuke Maesako, Akira Hojo, Shigeto Yasuhara
