ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle bumper-covering for bridging the upper gap between the vehicle body and the bumper structure is supported at the vehicle body, and consists of an upper covering strip combined with two lateral or side parts forming pocket-shaped members for covering or enclosing the ends of the bumper. The covering strip and the lateral pocket-shaped parts are a soft elastic material which is securely connected with the vehicle body by fasteners, such as threaded screws or bolts, acting in conjunction with fastening plates of a hard material. A preferably construction of the pocket-shaped lateral portions of the bumper covering includes a generally C-shaped cross-sectional profiled configuration with the opened side of the configuration facing the vehicle body; the C-shaped profiled lateral pocket member being attached to the vehicle body by a holding plate clamping the edges of the pocket-like member to the wall of the vehicle body in conjunction with a fastening member. The bumper structure may be of the type supported at the vehicle by yielding energy-absorbing members.
