溶接接合しである。B. Prior art and its problems A front windshield a of an automobile is held on the vehicle body by a cowl part b, a front pillar 01, and a roof cross member d, as shown in FIG. The fourth section is a sectional view taken along the line B--B shown in FIG. 3, and shows the lower end of the front windshield a bonded to the upper end meeting portion b1 of the cowl. Further, a dash panel e is welded to the lower end meeting portion bt.

な容積バランスを取るのが難しかった。Incidentally, in recent years, there has been a tendency to make the slope of the front windshield a gentler due to design preferences. However, in this case, the volume of the passenger compartment r becomes smaller, and in the automobile having the above structure, it is difficult to maintain an appropriate volume balance between the passenger compartment f and the engine room g.

ス支持構造にある。C8 Means for Solving Problems The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a suitable space between the passenger compartment and the engine compartment even if the slope of the front windshield is made gentle. The purpose is to provide a support structure for a front windshield of an automobile that can balance the volume.The gist thereof is to provide a reinforcing member on the upper surface of the left and right suspension brackets, and to support the lower end of the front windshield with the member. The main feature lies in the support structure of automobile front windshields.

ラケット３の上面に溶接、接合しである。In FIG. 1, 1 is a front body of an automobile, 2 is a cowl part, 3 is a suspension bracket, 4 is an apron side member, and 5 is a dash panel. A reinforcing member 6 extends between the left and right suspension brackets 3. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the member 6 has a closed section formed by upper and lower panels 7.8, and has a pair of ring portions 9 connected to each other at both ends thereof. These ring portions 9 are then welded and joined to the upper surfaces of the left and right suspension brackets 3, respectively.

Further, a garnish lO is fixed to the upper surface of the upper panel 7, and a gap 11 is formed between it and the inclined portion 7a of the upper panel 7. Then, the lower end portion of the front windshield 12 is attached to the gap 11.

ら外れてしまう虞れはない。By the way, if a vehicle having such a structure receives a large impact from the front, the engine may be pushed backwards and collide with the dash panel 5. However, even in that case, since the reinforcing member 6 is completely separated from the dash panel 5, no impact is directly applied to it, so there is no risk that the front windshield 12 will come off from the gap ll between the reinforcing member 6.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the lower end of the front windshield is supported by the reinforcing member in front of the cowl part, so even if the front windshield is sloped gently, the difference between the passenger compartment and the engine room is maintained. A suitable volume balance can be secured between the two, increasing the degree of freedom in design.
