VEHICLE FRONT SECTION STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18420765 titled 'VEHICLE FRONT SECTION STRUCTURE

The abstract describes a vehicle front section structure that includes a horn, a bumper absorber, and a grill, each serving a specific function in absorbing impact energy and enhancing the design of the vehicle front end.

  • The horn is located at the vehicle front section.
  • The bumper absorber is positioned at the vehicle lower side of the horn to absorb impact energy from the front side.
  • The grill is placed at the vehicle lower side of the bumper absorber, forming part of the bumper cover design.
  • The bumper absorber includes a through-hole with an elastic body inside, designed to absorb impact energy effectively.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle safety and design enhancement.

Problems Solved: - Absorbing impact energy from the front side of the vehicle. - Enhancing the design of the vehicle front end.

Benefits: - Improved safety for vehicles. - Enhanced aesthetic appeal of the vehicle front section.

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Vehicle Front Section Structure for Enhanced Safety and Design This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for manufacturing vehicles with improved safety features and attractive design elements, potentially appealing to safety-conscious consumers and design-oriented markets.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the elastic body in the bumper absorber contribute to absorbing impact energy? 2. What are the potential market implications of implementing this innovative front section structure in vehicles?


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle front section structure including: a horn, the horn being provided at a vehicle front section; a bumper absorber, the bumper absorber being provided at a vehicle lower side of the horn, and the bumper absorber being capable of absorbing impact energy due to an impact load that has been input from a vehicle front side; and a grill, the grill being disposed at a vehicle lower side of the bumper absorber at a bumper cover configuring a design at a vehicle front end, and an opening portion being formed in the grill, wherein the bumper absorber is configured to include: a through-hole, the through-hole penetrating along a vehicle up-down direction, and an elastic body, the elastic body being is provided within the through-hole, and the elastic body having a hollow shape penetrating along the vehicle up-down direction.
