The bar element includes at least one end (12a) which, in the unassembled state of the radiator grille (10), is spaced from a portion (18) of the frame (11) and in the mounted state of the radiator grille (10) is forced into contact with the portion (18). The end (12a) of the bar element (12) and the portion (18) of the frame (11) being movable relative to one another as a result of the external application of force.

An air-intake structure around a front grille for a vehicle in which an engine radiator is disposed at a front part of the body of a vehicle, and a front of the engine radiator is covered with the front grille. An air-intake port for an engine air-induction duct is disposed above the engine radiator. The air-intake port is offset to the left from a transverse center and is oriented toward the front grille. A closed portion is provided on the front grille which closes the entirety of a portion of the front grille which faces the air-intake port.

An outer part of a motor vehicle having an element and a carrier part. The emblem and carrier part are formed in one piece with the carrier part. The carrier part can take many forms such as a vehicle grille or decorative trim. The outer part can be formed using a method of injection molding and can have a variety of surface finishes.

An automobile bumper structure is provided which is capable of keeping down an increase in weight, strongly supporting a reinforcement member with a vehicle structure body behind it, preventing a pedestrian or the like from getting caught under a vehicle when the vehicle has hit the pedestrian or the like. In this automobile bumper structure, a bumper face 2 includes an opening portion 4, and a reinforcement member 20 is disposed behind and inside of a bumper lower face 2b which extends downward from this opening portion 4. Side-plane portions 22, an upper-plane portion 24, a front-plane portion 26 and a lower-plane portion 28 are formed in the reinforcement member 20. A vertical rib 32 is provided across the upper-plane portion 24, the front-plane portion 26 and the lower-plane portion 28. An extended portion 29 is united with the lower-plane portion 2 and extends rearward from it, and this extended portion 29 is connected to a cross member which is disposed behind a bumper structure body 1 and is also connected to an under cover.

A vehicle end structure mainly includes a vehicle bumper fascia and a grille assembly. The vehicle bumper fascia includes a sill portion and a receiving member extending from the sill portion. The receiving member defines a channel with an opening extending in a forward vehicle facing direction. The grille assembly includes inner grille and outer grille members that are coupled together. The inner grille member has a support member formed at a periphery of the inner grille member. The support member is disposed in the channel of the receiving member to limit movement of the inner grille member in a direction normal to the forward vehicle facing direction. The outer grille member is disposed on a forward vehicle facing side of the inner grille member to conceal the support member from view in the first direction.

A front structure for a vehicle has a grid member configured to allow outside air to be introduced from a forward direction of the vehicle into a compartment of the vehicle, and a part within the compartment disposed on a rear side of the grid member. The grid member has a first bridge and a second bridge intersecting with the first bridge. One of the first bridge and the second bridge has a bridge upper portion having a fragile portion on one of a front side thereof and a rear side thereof in a fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, and a bridge lower portion having a fragile portion on one of a front side thereof and a rear side thereof in the fore-and-aft direction. The fragile portion of the bridge upper portion and the fragile portion of the bridge bottom portion are on opposite sides in the fore-and-aft direction.

A radiator casing (1) on a bumper (3) of a vehicle, particularly a motor car, is achieved using a mounting such that the radiator casing (1) is movable, by means of bearings (7, 9) arranged on both sides of the radiator, on a swivel axis (13) disposed transversely to the direction of travel, on the one hand downwards diagonally with respect to the direction of travel into a stop position and after reaching the stop is pivotable in the direction of travel into a lockable basic position and on the other hand in the event of a collision is movable into and lockable in a deflected position which can be moved back in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.

A front end structure for a vehicle comprises: a front bumper face; a shroud upper disposed to the rear of the front bumper face; a bumper beam disposed below the shroud upper to span the front ends of right and left front side frames; a center stay made of metal and spanning the shroud upper and the bumper beam; and a front grille supported at the upper side to the shroud upper and supported at the lower side to the front bumper face, the front grille is inclined so that the lower side is located frontwardly of the upper side, and the center stay is integrally provided with a grille support having a root end connected to the center stay and an abutment supporting part extending from the root end towards the bottom of the front grille to support the front grille from below. Alternatively, a front end structure for a vehicle comprises: a front bumper face; a shroud disposed to the rear of the front bumper face and including at least an upper part and right and left side parts; a front grille supported at the upper side to the shroud, supported at the lower side to the front bumper face and inclined so that the lower side is located frontwardly of the upper side; and a front grille support member including right and left mounting parts mounted to the right and left side parts of the shroud, respectively, and a shelf connecting the right and left mounting parts, formed to protrude frontward at a spanning part thereof connecting the right and left mounting parts and supporting the front grille from below.
