An automobile bumper including an isolator including one or more step surfaces integrally formed on the isolator. The step surface(s) may provide a gripping surface for permitting a user to step on for loading and unloading objects from the automobile. A fascia cover may be attachable to the isolator and include a cutout for allowing the step surface(s) to protrude through the cutout to prevent direct contact of the user's foot with the fascia.

An ultrasonic sensor for emitting ultrasonic waves and for receiving the waves reflected from objects is mounted on a mounting member such as a bumper of an automotive vehicle. A through-hole for inserting a front portion of the ultrasonic sensor is formed in the bumper. The ultrasonic sensor is connected to an inner surface of the bumper using a fixing member so that a vibrating front surface of the ultrasonic sensor is exposed to the front side of the bumper. A front periphery of the through-h...

A vehicle step includes an appearance surface; a pair of step surfaces; a lock for securing the step within a bumper; and a pivoting mechanism for rotating the step. The appearance face forms an external bumper surface when the step is stowed. The pivoting mechanism alternately deploys and stows the step manually or using a motor. A vehicle access method includes configuring a bumper with an affixable portion and connecting thereto a rotatable portion having an appearance surface and two step su...

A bumper system for a vehicle comprises a beam having a face and having mounts adapted for mounting to a vehicle frame, and an energy absorber engaging the face and having end sections located outboard of ends of the beam, the energy absorber being made of a structural engineering polymeric material and the end sections having flat top surfaces for forming steps outboard of the ends of the beam.

A bumper reinforcement for a vehicle includes a front wall portion, a rear wall portion, a pair of vertically spaced connecting walls interposed between the front wall portion and the rear wall portion for establishing rigid connections therebetween, and a tow hook attachment member including a hollow body and at least one flange, the hollow body being penetrated through the front and rear wall portions, and the at least one flange being formed integrally with the hollow body to extend along an ...

A load sensing device comprise an inner member provided at a front part of a vehicle and a load sensor provided at a position before a front of the inner member, in addition to an outer member and a load transfer member. The outer member is provided at the front part of the vehicle so as to be located more frontward than the load sensor so that a space is formed between the outer member and the load sensor. The outer member is in charge of allowing the load sensor to sense, via the outer member,...

A vehicle protection apparatus can protect a vehicle's exterior. The exterior can have an optional opening. A support attached to the vehicle can support a guard and allow it to move between (a) a retracted position that does not obtrude on the appearance of the vehicle's exterior, and (a) a deployed position in front of the vehicle's exterior and, when existing, in front of the opening in the exterior. The guard may be mounted on the support to translate linearly and in some cases angularly as ...

An electro-optical display, utilizing the field effect display, includes a thin layer of liquid crystal material positioned between two plates having electrically conductive segments. The material is a mixture of a selected stilbene, such as trans-4-n-butyl-alpha-chloro-4'-ethoxystilbene and a selected substituted benzylideneaminobenzonitrile, such as p-ethoxy-benzylidene-p'-aminobenzonitrile.
