A vehicle bumper (20) integrates rigid and flexible components into a single co-injection molded structure. In a preferred embodiment, a flexible fascia (58) is provided with integrated rigid fastener brackets (62, 66, 70, 71), energy absorption structure and head lamp brackets and housings (62). A method for manufacturing such a bumper provides for the injection of two different plastic materials during the same molding process. The flexible plastic material first injected into the mold. Then, the rigid plastic material is injected at gates located where the rigid material is desired. In one embodiment, the rigid material is completely contained within the flexible material. The rigid material may be either a higher stiffness plastic or a fiber reinforced plastic.

L'invention concerne des composants rigides et souples, intégrés dans un pare-chocs (20) de véhicule, utilisant une seule structure moulée par co-injection. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, un carénage (58) souple est constitué d'une patte de fixation (62, 66, 70, 71) rigide intégrée, d'une structure d'absorption d'énergie, et de pattes et de logements (62) de phares. Le procédé de fabrication d'un pare-chocs consiste à injecter deux matériaux de plastic différents durant le même processus de moulage. On injecte le premier matériau de plastic souple dans un moule. Puis, on injecte le matériau de plastic rigide au niveau d'entrées situées à des emplacements où le matériau rigide est souhaité. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le matériau rigide est totalement incorporé dans le matériau souple. Ledit matériau rigide peut être soit un plastic à rigidité élevée, soit un plastic à fibres renforcées.
