Abstract
A bumper for motor vehicles which is displaced in the vehicle longitudinal direction in case of an impact and which is provided with end portions laterally drawn about the vehicle, rigidly connected with the bumper center portion and extending approximately parallel to the vehicle outer surfaces. For purposes of longitudinally guiding the end portions at a distance from the vehicle outer surface, mounting brackets are rigidly connected to each end portion and have free which engage guide members projecting from the vehicle outer surface. A support part of each end portion terminates at a distance from an associated wheel casing cutout and includes on its top side a cover member rigidly connected to the end portion and the remaining area of the end portion is covered by a downwardly projecting apron. In case of a unilateral yielding of the bumper, the apron at first engages a deflection edge of the guide member and then is guided along the same past the wheel while being bent.
