VEHICLE FRONT SECTION STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317164 titled 'VEHICLE FRONT SECTION STRUCTURE
The patent application 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 to emit sound signals.
- The bumper absorber, positioned below the horn, absorbs impact energy from the front side of the vehicle.
- The grill, situated below the bumper absorber, adds to the aesthetic design of the vehicle front end with an opening portion for airflow.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle safety and design enhancement.
Problems Solved: - Absorption of impact energy from the front side of the vehicle. - Improving the overall design and functionality of the vehicle front section.
Benefits: - Enhanced safety features for vehicles. - Improved aesthetic appeal of the vehicle front end.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Vehicle Front Section Structure for Enhanced Safety and Design" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to improve the safety and design of their vehicles, potentially attracting more customers looking for both functionality and style in their vehicles.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the elastic body within the bumper absorber contribute to impact absorption? 2. What are the specific materials used in the construction of the bumper absorber and grill?
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.
