Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A vehicle body front section structure is provided with a sensor attachment structure to an outside face of a left bumper beam extension. The sensor attachment structure includes a support section provided on the outside face of the left bumper beam extension, and an airbag sensor attached to the support section. The support section deforms and retreats toward the vehicle body rear as a result of compression of the left bumper beam extension during compression of the left bumper beam extension due to an impact load input from the vehicle body front.

Abstract: A bumper beam body 13 and upper and lower parts of a flange portion 22 each contain a continuous fiber reinforced polymer layer 20, and a first flange tip portion 22a made of thermoplastic resin that has an L-shaped cross section extending outward in a vertical direction and then curving outward in a vehicle rear-front direction is connected to edges of the flange portion 22. Thereby, even when continuous fibers and matrix resin of the continuous fiber reinforced polymer layer 20 stick out from the edges of the flange portion 22 as flash, this flash can be covered with the first flange tip portion 22a.

Abstract: An automobile bumper is provided in which the bumper beam includes a middle curved part that curves concavely rearwards and a pair of left and right curved parts that curve convexly rearwards, and the left and right curved parts includes a rear side frame connecting part and a load input part projecting rearwards the most among the bumper beam parts. Since the bumper beam includes a compression-resistant reinforcing part provided along the inner face in the fore-and-aft direction of the load input part, and an extension line of the compression-resistant reinforcing part is directed toward the vicinity of the load input point of the load input part, supporting the compressive load by the compression-resistant reinforcing part to thus prevent the bumper beam from being destroyed enables the strength toward bending deformation to be enhanced without reinforcement by increasing the plate thickness of the bumper beam.

A left recessed angle portion is formed by the left shock absorbing member and the bumper beam. An inner coupling member is disposed in the left recessed angle portion. The inner coupling member includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is connected to the inner wall front portion with a spacing set between an intersection and the first end portion. Also, the second end portion is connected to the rear wall left portion with a spacing set between the intersection and the second end portion.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A vehicle bumper includes a bumper beam, a bumper face and an energy-absorbing member provided between the bumper beam and the bumper face. The energy-absorbing member has an L-shaped cross-section and includes a head of a front upper portion protruding upward. A space is formed between the bumper beam and the head. When a collision load acts on the bumper face, the head is deformed toward the space, thus absorbing the impact energy.
