Vehicle front bumper cover

Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a vehicle front bumper showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged right side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged left side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 6--6 in FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 7 is a rear elevational view thereof.

The vehicle front bumper cover is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. The surface normally visible when the vehicle front bumper cover is attached to a vehicle is called the "Class A" surface is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the vehicle front bumper cover is attached to a vehicle is called the "Class B" surface and is not claimed. Any functional features of the vehicle front bumper cover are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The views are not necessarily to scale to better illustrate details. The drawings were generated using Computer Aided Design tools. Highlights and shading were added to the drawings to better illustrate the three-dimensional features of the part.

The members shown in broken lines in FIGS. 1,2,3 and 5 are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
