Abstract
An automobile bumper is adapted to be molded in one piece from thermoplastic material. The frontal portion is 'C'-shaped in cross-section, and has spaced vertical web strips interconnecting the upper and lower rear edges. Certain of these strips have off-sets permitting vertical elongation under impact to control the pattern of deflection of the frontal portion to preserve impact resistance. A die structure having movable core components is provided for producing the bumper.
