Bumper arrangement with crossmember and crash boxes
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230382332A1) describes a novel bumper arrangement for motor vehicles. The arrangement includes a crossmember connected to the vehicle via crash boxes, with end regions projecting laterally beyond the crash boxes.

The configuration of the slot in different regions of the crossmember, such as attaching regions and end regions, is specified to optimize the overall performance of the bumper arrangement. Additionally, the use of different types of hollow profiles, such as two-chamber profiles, and manufacturing methods like extrusion or roll forming are also covered in the claims. These innovative features aim to improve the functionality and durability of bumpers in motor vehicles, enhancing safety and performance on the road.
