A truck guard assembly includes a semi-truck that has a front end and a pair of female hitch receivers is mounted on the front end and is spaced from each other. A shield apparatus includes a plurality of elongated members each having a first end and a second end. A plurality of connector bars is attached to each of the elongated members so that the elongated members are each orientated parallel to each other. A pair of connectors is configured to releasably attach the shield apparatus to the front end of the semi truck. Each of the connectors is attached to the shield apparatus and is positioned for engaging one of the hitch receivers.
摘要:
A lightweight high-strength front bumper for a vehicle, having an elongated substantially hollow structure, with a protruding tubular strengthening member attached near the front face and also near the back face, so as to strengthen the spaced apart relation of the front face and back face. The bumper is typically substantially made of 6061 T6 aluminum or another high-strength, lightweight metal or allow with good workability. The bumper advantageously includes one or more storage compartments in the elongated structure.

A pre-pregnated composite vehicle bumper, which may have an integral or complementary grill guard, comprises an outer gel coat; a pre-pregnated composite material skin; and an internal two-part foam. The parts are typically created in a mold according to a process which includes closing and sealing an opened mold shell to define the volume of the shape of the bumper and the grill guard and then controllably increasing temperature of the closed and sealed mold shell until a predetermined temperature is reached, maintaining the predetermined temperature by controlling the predetermined temperature to be at a substantially steady state for a predetermined period of curing time, and then controllably decreasing the temperature of the closed and sealed mold shell until a predetermined temperature is obtained using a thermal control mold that incorporates both heating and cooling. The foregoing disclosure and description of the invention are illustrative and exemplary thereof, and various changes in the size, shape and materials, as well as in the details of the illustrated construction, may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
摘要:
A hood assembly (100) adapted to be coupled to a vehicle having a hood (102) moveable between an open position and a closed position. The hood assembly includes a hood sub-frame (104) which includes a headlight mounting assembly (108) for permitting a left and right headlight (112 and 114) to be mounted to a left and right side of the hood sub-frame. The hood sub-frame also includes a hood mounting assembly (140 and 142) for coupling the hood sub-frame to the hood such that the hood sub-frame moves with the hood when the hood is coupled to the hood mounting assembly and moved between the open and closed positions. The hood sub-frame also has a cross brace assembly (144) passing between and coupled to the left side of the hood sub-frame and the right side of the hood sub-frame.
摘要:
A front grill impact-absorbing structure has a load-transmitting member (90) which retreats together with a front grill (30) when a collision force (F1) acts on the front grill from the front. By the load-transmitting member retreating together with the front grill, the collision force is transmitted to a water-cooled engine radiator (20) inside an engine compartment (11). In the initial state of the collision, the radiator absorbs the collision force and moderates the collision force.
摘要:
A protection hood for automobile radiator is disclosed. The protection hood structure comprises a plurality of supporting protection ribs, characterized in that the two ends of the hollow protection rib are mounted with plastic pad, and the appropriate positions on the protection ribs are welded with vertical supporting protection ribs, thereby improving the elasticity and reducing the material cost.
摘要:
An apparatus and method is provided for replacing a grille on a vehicle. The method comprises removing the first grille that has a pattern of openings and attaching a second grille that is different from the first grille in the same location in which the first grille was located.
摘要:
The invention relates to a bumper system with which the requirements for compatibility between motor vehicles can be accommodated. In particular the invention relates to a bumper system for a motor vehicle which has a force distributing element (10) and which is characterized in that in at least two planes at different heights there are force absorbing components (20, 13) on the motor vehicle (2) and the force distributing element (10) is mounted on the force absorbing components (20, 13) and connects the force absorbing components (20, 13).
摘要:
A pedestrian protection apparatus particularly adapted for motor vehicle front end structures for mitigating injuries of pedestrians struck by the vehicle. The apparatus incorporates a front grill which is moveable between extended and retracted positions. While it is in its extended position, the grill is designed to absorb energy from a pedestrian impact to reduce pedestrian injuries. The position of the grill is controlled by an actuator which responds to control inputs such as vehicle speed.
