ABSTRACT:
A vehicle bumper system for a vehicle, having a vehicle body and a pair of longitudinally extending load bearing members, includes a bumper member extending between the pair of longitudinally extending load bearing members. A tension means extends between the pair of longitudinally extending load bearing members for preventing the application of outwardly directed lateral forces to the load bearing members. The curved bumper member and the tension means are directly, pivotally connected to the pair of longitudinally extending load bearing members at the same locations on the load bearing members, such that an impact force applied to the bumper member does not result in outwardly directed lateral forces being applied to the load bearing members, or such lateral forces are minimized. The curved bumper member and the tension means may be formed as a single unit or, alternatively, may be separate elements. The bumper member and the tension means may be made of metal or of a structural composite material.
