ABSTRACT:
In a highway type motor vehicle, a vehicle wheel and wheel mounted pneumatic tire positioned in the front or rear of the vehicle, with the wheel and tire substantially vertical to the highway surface, with the bottom tread of the tire about the height of the ground clearance of the vehicle frame, having means for supporting the approximate center of the rear portion of said tire and wheel securely to a hub flange attached to a vertical arm which is attached to a sliding sleeve on a longitudinal strut with the rear of the strut attached to the axle cross member frame of the vehicle and the front sleeve attached to the movable bumper rail, or as an alternative, means for attaching the vertical arm to the movable bumper rail, eliminating the longitudinal strut and sliding sleeve, so that the exposed tire and wheel will act as a Back Motion Tire Buffer as the wheel, tire and bumper move back against the stop in the cylinders on the vehicle to which it is installed without touching the body together all as one unit upon collision, into an obstruction, decelerating the vehicle, dissipating the energy of motion into the wheel, tire and movable back motion stroke of the bumper, preventing override and underride of struck bumpers, instead of destruction of the sheet metal and injury or death to its occupants.
