ABSTRACT:
The bumper stay comprises a stay main body consisting of a channel member having a vertical axial line and a reinforcement member fixedly received in the stay main body and adapted to be secured to the bumper beam by way of flanges thereof. The stay main body comprises a closed end adapted to be fixedly secured to a vehicle body and an open end facing a bumper beam. A pair of U-shaped middle parts each having a horizontal axial line are provided between the flanges of the reinforcement member, and an intermediate abutting surface is defined between the U-shaped middle parts, the intermediate abutting surface abutting a part of the bumper beam. Thus, the closed end of the stay main body can present a large contact area between the bumper stay and the vehicle body while the reinforcement member can provide a large area of contact between the bumper stay and the bumper beam. By suitably combining the stay main body and the reinforcement member, a favorable energy absorbing property and a necessary mechanical strength can be achieved without complicating the fabrication process.
