じにくいという性質がある。(Prior Art and its Problems) A cowl is generally constructed by combining a cowl top inner panel, a cowl top outer panel, and a pair of left and right cowl top side panels in a box shape. In conventional products, the cowl top side panel is formed to extend substantially linearly in the front-rear direction when viewed from above, or is made of a steel material with a hat-shaped cross section as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-119469. It is formed using For this reason, the cowl top side panel has strong resistance and rigidity to shocks applied to the cowl in the front-rear direction, making it difficult for the entire cowl to deform.

。Therefore, even if a structure in the engine room such as an engine hits the cowl during a frontal collision of a car, the cowl is less likely to be crushed, and the steering handle is supported on the rear surface of the front vilayaya cowl with almost no attenuation of the impact force. tell. As a result, the interior space of the vehicle is likely to be compressed, and the amount of rearward protrusion of the steering handle increases, resulting in a large impact force, which is dangerous for the occupants.

。(Embodiment) In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the cowl top side panel 1 is formed into a multifaceted plate shape by pressing a steel plate having a predetermined shape. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an inclined portion 2 that slopes outward toward the rear is provided at the intermediate portion in the front-rear direction, and mainly consists of three inclined surfaces 2a and 2b.

顕著な効果がある。■ An offset is formed between the front and rear parts of the cowl top side panel, so that the cowl top side panel is easily bent by the force of a frontal collision, using the slope 1' provided at the middle part in the longitudinal direction as a bending line. As a result, the cowl as a whole is easily crushed and deformed, and as a result, the crash effect of the cowl can alleviate the impact, prevent the interior space of the vehicle from being compressed, and prevent the cowl from collapsing or deforming. The amount of protrusion can be reduced. Therefore, there is a significant effect on the safety of occupants in the event of a head-on collision.
