することも提案されている。[0003] By the way, when it is assumed that an obstacle falls over the hood and the front fender, in order to reduce the impact on the obstacle, the front fender ( (The inner end in the vehicle width direction) is easily displaced downward. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-180350 discloses that a vertical wall portion extending downward from a vehicle width direction inner side edge portion of a front fender is bent and set in a “<” shape to receive a predetermined downward or more load. There has been proposed a structure in which a vertical wall portion is easily crushed and deformed when it is pressed. It has also been proposed that the degree of bending in the shape of a dogleg is made different in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body so that the front fender is more easily displaced downward at the front part of the vehicle body than at the rear part of the vehicle body.

成形されている。Each support member 10 has two ribs, a first rib 11 and a second rib 12, which extend vertically. These two ribs 11 and 12 are crushed and deformed to absorb energy when receiving a downward or more load, and the first rib 11 extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. It is connected to the vertical wall 2b. The second rib 12 is provided continuously to one end of the first rib 11 in the vehicle front-rear direction, and extends in the vehicle width direction (in the vehicle width direction inner side in the embodiment). Thus, by the two ribs 11 and 12,
A rib having a substantially L-shaped cross section is formed as a whole. And
The lower ends of the first rib 11 and the second rib 12 are connected to a bottom wall 13 extending in a substantially horizontal direction. Such a support member 10 is formed integrally with the front fender 2 by a synthetic resin.

ロントフェンダ２の上部が下方へ変位される。When a predetermined load or more downward from the obstacle S is applied to the upper portion of the front fender 2, the ribs 11 and 12 of the support member 10 are crushed and deformed, and energy is absorbed. The impact on is alleviated. Since the distance between the support members 10 is large at the front of the vehicle body and small at the rear of the vehicle body, the energy absorption of the support members is performed with a smaller load at the front of the vehicle body than at the rear of the vehicle body. Of course, the upper part of the front fender 2 is displaced downward according to the crushing deformation of the ribs 11 and 12.

In the support member 20 according to the present embodiment, the horizontal cross-sectional shape formed by the two ribs 21 and 22 extending in the vertical direction is substantially T-shaped. That is, the first rib 21 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction is longer in the vehicle front-rear direction than in the case of the above-described embodiment, and the second rib 22 is moved from a substantially middle portion of the first rib 21 in the vehicle front-rear direction to the vehicle width direction inner side It is formed to extend to The bottom wall 23 to which the lower ends of the ribs 21 and 22 continue is also elongated in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. A pair of mounting holes 24 for the wheel apron 3 formed in the bottom wall 23 are provided before and after the second rib 22. Also in the present embodiment, when a downward load equal to or more than a predetermined value acts, the ribs 21 and 22 are crushed and deformed, and the impact is reduced.

The front fender 2 extends continuously over substantially the entire length in the front-rear direction. The support member 30 includes upper and lower walls 31 and 32 extending substantially in the horizontal direction, respectively, and one end in the vehicle width direction of the upper and lower walls 31 and 32 (an outer end in the vehicle width direction in the embodiment). And a connecting portion extending in the up-down direction for connecting the parts to each other, and each of the portions 31 to 33 extends long in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The upper and lower wall portions 31 and 32 have a plurality of longitudinal ribs 3 extending in the vertical direction and extending in the vehicle width direction, respectively.
4 are also connected. The arrangement interval of the vertical ribs 34 is set large at the front part of the vehicle body and small at the rear part of the vehicle body. In addition, the substantially middle portions in the vertical direction of the adjacent vertical ribs 34 are connected by horizontal ribs 35 extending substantially in the horizontal direction.

ルギ吸収が行われる。When a downward load equal to or more than a predetermined value is applied, the vertical rib 34 is crushed and deformed together with the connecting portion 33, and the impact is reduced. The falling down of the vertical ribs 34 is prevented by the horizontal ribs 35, so that a preferable crushing deformation for energy absorption by the vertical ribs 34 is reliably ensured. Since the arrangement pitch of the longitudinal ribs 34 is larger at the front of the vehicle body than at the rear of the vehicle body, energy absorption is performed at the front of the vehicle body with respect to a smaller load than at the rear of the vehicle body.
