ABSTRACT:
A bumper mounting assembly for a vehicle of the type having a frame, a snowplow blade mounting device mounted on the frame, and a bumper comprising a pair of outer sections and a center section. The bumper sections each have a similar contour, and the outer sections each have an inboard and an outboard end and the center section has a pair of outboard ends. The bumper mounting assembly comprises a pair of mounting brackets which generally are mirror images of each other. Each bracket is an integral one-piece member and includes a plate and first and second bars which extend outwardly in opposite directions from and are generally offset from each other by the plate. Each bar has a contour generally similar to the contour of the bumper sections, and the second bar and the plate define a recess in the mounting bracket. Upon mounting of the center bumper section on the snowplow blade mounting device, mounting of each bracket on the inboard end of a respective one of the outer bumper sections, and mounting of the outboard end of each outer bumper section on the vehicle frame, each of the pair of outboard ends of the center bumper section nests within the recess of a respective one of the mounting brackets, wherein the mounting brackets support the inboard ends of the outer bumper sections and maintain the outer bumper sections generally in abutment with the vehicle frame.
