ABSTRACT:
An impact-absorbing vehicle safety bar assembly, mountable within the cavity of a vehicle panel includes a resilient, generally curvilinear bar having two opposite ends, which is outwardly bowed with respect to the vehicle interior. Upon impact, the bar tends to deform from its normally bowed condition to a flattened condition, as a result of which its ends are pressed against the sidewalls of the vehicle panel and, in turn, the vehicle pillars, thereby transferring the external impact load laterally towards its ends and, in turn, to the vehicle panel and pillars. This serves to strengthen the vehicle panel and summarize the possibility of inward implosion or caving in of the panel and concomitant harm to the vehicle occupants.
