FRONT MODULE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A front module for a motor vehicle with two longitudinal members (3) arranged one on either side, a bumper support (1) which sits in front of the two longitudinal members (3) and is connected to the front ends of the longitudinal members (3) with the interconnection of a respective deformation element (2), and a radiator frame (4) which is arranged between the longitudinal members (3) and between the deformation members (2) and supports the cooling assembly (5),wherein,in the event of a collision, the bumper support (1) first of all, in a first deformation stage after the deformation of the deformation element (2) or of the deformation elements, comes to bear against the radiator frame (4), wherein the radiator frame (4) can then be displaced for a limited distance to the rear in the direction of the passenger compartment, and wherein, after displacement or deformation of the radiator frame (4) in a second stage, the bumper support (1) comes to bear against at least one point of the cooling assembly (5) in order to displace the latter to the rear in the direction of the passenger compartment.

Abstract
A front module for a motor vehicle includes two longitudinal members arranged one on either side, a bumper sitting in front of the two longitudinal members and connected to front ends of the longitudinal members with the interconnection of a respective deformation element, and a radiator frame arranged between the longitudinal members and supporting the cooling assembly. In a collision, the bumper, after the deformation of the deformation element, comes to bear against the radiator frame, wherein the radiator frame can then be displaced for a limited distance to the rear in the direction of the passenger compartment. After displacement or deformation of the radiator frame, the bumper (1) comes to bear against at least one point of the cooling assembly (5) in order to displace the latter to the rear in the direction of the passenger compartment.
