ATTACHMENT FOR BUMPER BEAM ENABLING ADDITIONAL FUNCTION ASSEMBLY

The invention concerns an attachment means (20) for mounting a bumper cross-beam (10) having a vertical front wall (11) and a vertical rear wall (12) spaced apart by at least one transverse wall (13) onto a vehicle structure, the said attachment means having a first end (22) to be fixed to the said vehicle structure and a second end (23) designed to be attached to the said bumper cross-beam, the said attachment means being made from a hollow section profile (21), the periphery of which comprises opposite side walls (24 and 25) and substantially parallel opposite outer walls (26 and 27), characterised in that the said second end (23) comprises at least one flange (41), which can extend substantially beyond said vertical front wall (11) after mounting said bumper cross beam (10). The invention is useful in particular for assembling additional parts in the front part of the cross-beam, without affecting the properties of the cross-beam and deteriorating the force intrusion properties
