Zusammenfassung: | The energy absorber for a vehicle bumper assembly comprises a thrust transmitting section (1) and a deformable section (2) connected to one another and with respective opposite ends respectively connected to a bumper cross-member (3) and to a longitudinal member (4) of a main structure of the vehicle. The thrust transmitting section (1) comprises a thrust transmitting member (5) having an elongated configuration in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and the deformable section (2) comprises two bridge-shaped deformable members (6, 8) defining superimposed and attached supporting configurations (6a, 8a) to which the thrust transmitting member (5) is connected and legs (6b) which extend from said supporting configurations (6a, 8a) substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and which are connected to the vehicle longitudinal member (4), optionally through a plate (10). The energy absorber is housed inside the longitudinal member once the deformable section (2) is deformed. |
