  • Small overlap impact countermeasure for vehicle
    Patent number: 10464609
    Abstract: A structural support system, for a vehicle having a central axis extending from a front of the vehicle to a rear of the vehicle, includes a radiator cross member, a lower load beam having a rearward end coupled to a frame of the vehicle, and a forward end coupled to the radiator cross member, the lower load beam oriented at an angle relative to the central axis and extending outwardly as the lower load beam extends toward the front of the vehicle, a front end module (FEM) coupled to the radiator cross member, and an impact block coupled to a transmission of the vehicle. During an impact event where an object impacts the FEM, the FEM and the radiator cross member are configured to absorb an impact load resulting from the impact event and bend rearward and inboard toward the transmission.
