Apparatus and device for use in automotive testing
First Claim
1. A testing apparatus for repetitive use in automotive testing, the apparatus comprising:
- a carriage,a frame mounted to the carriage, the carriage configured to move the frame, the frame having a first support beam and a plurality of second support beams coupled together so as to form a bicycle frame; and
a detachable coupling member coupling each of the plurality of second support beams to the first support beam so as to allow the frame to separate when impacted and be reassembled for further automotive testing.

Abstract
An apparatus and device for repetitive use in automotive testing is provided. The apparatus includes a frame dimensioned in the same shape as a bicycle frame. The frame includes a first support beam and a plurality of second support beams. The apparatus further includes an elastic member elastically coupling each of the plurality of second support beams to the first support beam so as to allow the frame to separate when impacted and be easily reassembled for further testing. The device includes a disk having a first radar transparent layer opposite a second radar transparent layer and a reflective film disposed between the first radar transparent layer and the second radar transparent layer. The reflective film has a radar cross section pattern similar to that of an actual bicycle wheel when seen by automotive radar.
