  • Grill for a land vehicle and also a land vehicle having a grill
    Patent number: 6921117
    Abstract: The present invention provides (with reference to FIG. 1) a land vehicle having bodywork which defines an aperture (11) in which a grill (10) is secured by mounting means (20, 21, 22). The mount means (20, 21, 22) comprises an elastically deformable non-metallic material which can deform to allow the grill (10) to move relative to surrounding bodywork when the grill (10) receives an impact, thereby absorbing energy of the impact, and which can subsequently return to the original shape thereof and thereby restore the grill (10) to the pre-impact position thereof. The present invention also relates to a grill (10) compound of a composite material comprising fibres set in a matrix.
