This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051482 titled 'MODULAR PUSH BUMPER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a modular push bumper that can be directly mounted to a vehicle. The push bumper is made up of members that are fastened together with fasteners instead of being welded.

  • Commercial vehicles: The push bumper can be used on commercial vehicles to mount accessories like brush guards, fog lights, and toolboxes.

Problems Solved:

  • Welding limitations: By using fasteners instead of welding, the push bumper allows for easier assembly and disassembly, as well as the ability to replace individual members if damaged.
  • Protection of accessories: The channel member of the push bumper provides a protective barrier for mounted accessories, preventing damage from vandalism or collisions.

Benefits:

  • Modular design: The push bumper can be easily customized and modified to suit different vehicle types and accessory needs.
  • Easy installation: The use of fasteners simplifies the installation process, reducing the time and effort required.
