More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to improved methods for manufacturing bumper beam assemblies and bumper beam assemblies made by such methods. One method of the invention allows bumper beams of different longitudinal configurations to be made by selecting open cross-sectioned, roll-formed bumper beam members from different sets of beam members and fixing them to bumper beam mounting structures. The mounting structures close off the open cross-section of the bumper beam members. Another method of the invention allows bumper beams for varying applications to be made by selecting bumper beam members from inventory and fixing them to a bumper beam mounting structure.
