ABSTRACT:
An elastic guard brace for attaching bumpers to an automobile is disclosed. The brace consists of a relatively thick elastic member which is connected between the bumper and the automobile and is oriented so that the direction of its elasticity is parallel to the direction of a force acting on the bumper. At least one inelastic member is positioned within the elastic member and is oriented parallel to the direction of the force acting on the bumper so that it can buckle in an inelastic manner and absorb energy upon impact. The elasticity of the elastic member minimizes the inelastic deformation of the elastic element and returns the bumper to its original position.
