Abstract
A pseudo-resilient bumper or shield attachment for attaching a bumper or shield to a vehicle is disclosed. The attachment is made up of a vertically extending elastically resilient counter-fitting having one end attached to the chassis of the vehicle and another end to which an inelastically deformable energy absorbing block is attached. The energy absorbing block is attached between the vertically extending counter-fitting and the bumper or shield, and includes collapsible energy absorbing thin walled partitions extending perpendicular to the resilient counter-fitting.
