ABSTRACT:
A grille bar for a radiator grille of a vehicle includes a grille bar section having a leading profile defining flange portion and a forward or frontal air deflecting surface. The grille bar section also has a rear leg flange portion projecting downwardly from the upper end portion of the leading profile defining flange portion. In addition, the grille bar section has a return flange portion projecting generally rearwardly from the lower end portion of the leading profile defining flange portion. The return flange portion projects preferably rearwardly and upwardly from the lower end portion of the leading profile defining flange portion and extends generally toward the bottom edge of the rear leg flange. The return flange extends in one form to no more than about one-half of the distance between the front of the leading profile defining flange portion and the rear surface of the rear leg. In addition, the rear leg preferably projects no more than one-half of the distance between the upper end of the leading profile defining flange portion and the lower end thereof. The grille bar may be formed by roll forming a single piece of metal.
