An energy absorbing member for a vehicle and a bumper assembly comprising such a member and a bumper cross member

摘要

An energy absorbing component for a vehicle having an energy absorption profile (5, 5.1) and means for connecting one end of the energy absorption profile (5, 5.1) to the chassis of a vehicle and means for connecting the other end to a bumper cross member (2) for connecting the energy absorption component (3, 3.1) to the bumper cross member (2), the energy absorption profile (5, 5.1) carries a connecting piece (7, 7.1) which covers the bumper cross member (2) and which is connected to the connection piece (7 , 7.1) to be connected bumper crossmember (2) facing the bumper cross member (2) at least partially above a first portion (12) above and / or at least partially over a second portion (13) below and with a central portion (14) at least partially thereto abuts, characterized in that an additional positive locking in the y direction between the energy absorption component (3, 3.1) and the bumper cross member (2) in the connecting piece (7, 7.1) and complementary thereto in the bumper cross member (2) by at least one embossment (9, 9.1 9.2, 9.3, 9.4) is formed to a support, that is to ensure a tilting of the bumper cross member (2) and the energy absorption component (3, 3.1) in the event of a crash and thus unscrewing the bumper cross member (2) from the energy absorption component (3, 3.1), ie from the connector (7, 7.1) almost excluded.
