Abstract
An impact damping member for motor vehicles, mounted as a safety member between a bumper element and a frame of the motor vehicle, has an outer tube having a longitudinal axis positioned perpendicularly to the bumper element and the frame. An inner profiled member is arranged inside the outer tube. The inner profiled member has several hollow bodies connected to one another, and each has a longitudinal axis extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the outer tube. A first one of the hollow bodies next to the bumper element is penetrated by a coupling member that connects the impact damping member to the bumper element by penetrating the first hollow body and by being attached to the bumper element.
