    摘要: The bumper system is used on a motor vehicle and generally includes a bumper beam and an energy-absorbing bracket connected to the bumper beam. The bracket includes a hollow energy-absorbing body having a first end and a second end. The bracket body may be saddle-shaped between the first and second ends. The bracket body deforms during a collision involving the motor vehicle. In another embodiment, the bracket body may have a first cross sectional shape at the first end that transitions to a second cross sectional shape at the second end. The second shape may be different from the first shape, or be similar to the first shape, but be, for example, rotated about 90° from the first shape. The first shape may be elongated along a first axis and the second shape elongated along a second axis rotated about 90° from the first axis.

    摘要: A vehicle bumper system having a metallic elongated reinforcing member extending substantially across the width of the vehicle. The reinforcing member can be made from aluminum or steel and has a generally &Sgr;-shaped cross section which is filled with energy-absorbing foam. The &Sgr;-shaped cross section is preferably formed by extrusion. A preferred composition of the reinforcing member is an aluminum alloy selected from the group of 6XXX and 7XXX alloys.

    摘要: A light weight, structurally stiff instrument panel reinforcement structure for motor vehicle bodies. The reinforcement structure includes driver side and passenger side cross tubes that are preferably aluminum alloy extrusions, and a center stack support that is preferably a magnesium alloy casting connecting the cross tubes. The driver side cross tube supports a steering column assembly. The driver side cross tube has a greater average wall thickness than the passenger side cross tube. The driver side cross tube is hydroformed so that a middle portion has larger bending and torsion resistance than the end portions.

    摘要: A vehicle door has a door body which includes an outer door panel, an inner door panel, and a recess disposed therebetween. A metal mat has a plurality of elongated first elements and a plurality of second elements interwoven with respect to the first elements. The metal mat is secured directly or indirectly to the door body. The first elements are movable with respect to the second elements such that the application of an impact force thereto will result in relative sliding movement caused either by displacement of the first elements or second elements, or stretching of the same under the influence of the impact force, or both. In a preferred embodiment, peripheral portions of the woven mat are fixedly secured to a frame which is in turn secured to the door body. The first elements are preferably offset from the second elements about 50 to 100 degrees. In one embodiment a plurality of third elements oriented generally in the same direction as the second elements are interwoven with the first elements. An associated method is provided.
