Abstract: A process for manufacturing a composite automobile part by overmoulding, over at least one surface of an insert (1) comprising a first plastic material, a layer of a second thermoplastic material, comprises the following successive steps: a) a step of positioning said insert (1) in a mould, and b) a step of moulding said second thermoplastic material over said insert. At least one of said first and second materials comprises an additive, said additive comprising a polymer to which carboxylic anhydride monomers are grafted. Said first and second materials are respectively based on polyamide and based on polypropylene, or vice versa and said second material comprises talc as mineral filler.

Abstract: The bumper beam of a motor vehicle comprising a chassis and comprising at least one horizontal flank and at least one vertical flank extending longitudinally to the beam comprises at least one bearing member arranged so as to be supported on the chassis and to exert a reaction force in one direction on said at least one horizontal flank during the absorption of an impact by said beam, said bearing member being stronger than said at least one horizontal flank in the direction of the reaction force.

Abstract: The invention provides an impact absorber module for a motor vehicle, the module comprising: a top transverse element for bearing against an impact beam of the vehicle; a bottom transverse element and two uprights connecting the top and bottom transverse elements together so as to form substantially a frame referred to as an absorber frame, the bottom transverse element or one of the two uprights being designed to bear against a bottom structural part of the vehicle; and a wall forming an air guide and extending from the top transverse element towards a radiator of the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to an absorber comprising first and second portions and made at least in part out of plastics material, wherein the first portion includes a first support wall extending in a longitudinal direction of the absorber and placed to bear against a beam of the vehicle; the second portion includes a second support wall extending in a longitudinal dimension of the absorber and essentially perpendicularly to the first wall, being placed to bear against the beam; and the second portion includes reinforcing walls corresponding essentially to a plane normal to the longitudinal direction of the absorber and arranged so that each has one end connected to the second wall, each reinforcing wall having at least one other end connected to an adjacent reinforcing wall, such that each reinforcing wall is connected to each of the adjacent walls.

Abstract: The invention provides an impact absorber module (10) for a motor vehicle, the module comprising: a top transverse element (12) for bearing against an impact beam (32) of the vehicle; a bottom transverse element (14) and two uprights (16a, 16b) connecting the top and bottom transverse elements (12, 14) together so as to form substantially a frame (18) referred to as an absorber frame, the bottom transverse element (14) or one of the two uprights (16a, 16b) being designed to bear against a bottom structural part (36) of the vehicle; and a wall (30) forming an air guide and extending from the top transverse element (12) towards a radiator (54) of the vehicle.

Abstract: The energy absorber system is adapted to a motor vehicle having side rails. The system comprises a top absorber beam positioning in front of the side rails of the motor vehicle, a bottom absorber beam for being positioned beneath the top absorber beam, and at least two uprights providing a rigid connection between the top and bottom beams. The system also includes a rigid cross-member extending between the side rails and being secured directly to the side rails, the top beam being secured to bear against the cross-member.

Abstract: The rear door is for fitting to a motor vehicle having a rear chassis and a rear insurance impact absorber system suitable for absorbing insurance type impacts so as to prevent plastic deformation of the rear chassis of the vehicle. The door carries the rear impact absorber system of the vehicle.
