ABSTRACT:
A bumper assembly for a vehicle comprises a center section adapted to lie along the width of the vehicle and two side sections connected to respective ends of the center section and adapted to lie along respective sides of the vehicle. Each section has a supporting metal beam and a superposed polyurethane moulding. The center section additionally has a superposed decorative steel finisher connected to the beam in a relatively displaceable manner. The side sections are connected at their ends remote from the center section by spring pivotal radius arms to the vehicle body. In the event of an impact, the side sections pivot away from the vehicle body on their radius arms against the action of the associated springs and the metal beam moves relative to the finisher against the action of a further spring. On removal of the impact force the parts of the assemby return to their original positions under the action of the various springs.
