Front portion structure of vehicle
A vehicle front portion structure includes a hood, a radiator support upper member, a bracket mounted on an upper portion of the radiator support upper member, and a stopper attached to an upper portion of the bracket and configured to be contacted, when the hood is closed, by a protruding portion on a lower surface of the hood, in which the bracket is a member having a channel shape in cross section and protruding upward in a vehicle vertical direction, and is composed of leg plates and a top plate. The bracket is mounted on the upper portion of the radiator support upper member in a state where the leg plates and the top plate extend along a vehicle width direction, and the leg plates also extend in the vehicle vertical direction along a direction in which the protruding portion makes contact with the stopper.
Vehicle front structure
A vehicle front structure includes a grille stay located behind a bumper panel having a grille opening, and a stay cover disposed to cover a rear portion of the grille stay. The grill stay faces an upper portion of the bumper panel from behind. The grille stay includes a front portion and a rear portion, and the rear portion has a smaller cross sectional area than the front portion. The grill stay further includes a step portion at a boundary between the front portion and the rear portion. The stay cover includes a front end that is disposed to face a rear face of the step portion.
FRONT VEHICLE-BODY STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE
There are provided a cowl provided to support a front windshield in an inclined state where a rear side of the front windshield is located at a higher level than a front side of the front windshield and forming a lower edge of an opening portion for arranging the front windshield and a bonnet provided in front of and above the cowl. An upper portion of the cowl comprises a first face portion to which the front windshield adheres and an inclined second face portion which extends obliquely rearwardly-and-downwardly from the first face portion, and a front end of the first face portion is positioned on a rearward side, in a vehicle longitudinal direction, of a rear end of the bonnet.
Device for suspension of a lamp in a vehicle
A device for suspension of a lamp in a vehicle. The device includes a guiding means for guiding the lamp to move relative to the vehicle from a first position to a second position in case of an impact between the lamp and an object. The device further includes at least one energy absorber for counteracting movement of the lamp from the first position to the second position. The guiding means is arranged for guiding the lamp to move inwardly in a movement direction having a movement direction component in parallel with the X-axis while the movement of the lamp being counteracted by one said energy absorber, and to pivot about an axis being transverse relative to the X-axis and the Z-axis, while the pivot motion being counteracted by one said energy absorber, giving the lamp a different orientation in the second position in comparison to the first position.
Front vehicle body structure of vehicle
A suspension housing which is provided at a front part of a vehicle and to which a suspension is mounted has a first fixed portion and a second fixed portion that are provided at positions separated from each other in a front-rear direction and each fixed to a front frame. The suspension housing further has, at a position between the first fixed portion and the second fixed portion in the front-rear direction, a buckling promoting portion that promotes buckling of the suspension housing when a load is applied from the front frame to the suspension housing in the front-rear direction.
Front structure of a motor vehicle
A front structure (1) of a motor vehicle has at least one supporting crossmember (2) and a front spoiler (3) that extend in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle. The front spoiler (3) has a front section (30) that is outside from the supporting crossmember (2). At least one deformation member (5) is arranged in an intermediate space (4) between the supporting crossmember (2) and the front spoiler (3) or is integral with the front spoiler (3). The front section (30) of the front spoiler (3) and the deformation member (5) are configured so that, in the case of a pedestrian collision, the front section (30) can be arched by the deformation member (5) that is supported on the supporting crossmember (2).
Vehicle body front structure
A vehicle body front structure includes a pop-up hood unit disposed on a front end portion of an enginehood of a vehicle body and configured to move upward above the enginehood by using a lift-up mechanism. The pop-up hood unit is deformable due to an input of an impact upon a collision with a target for protection. The pop-up hood unit is shaped as a plate that extends in a left-right direction of the vehicle body and has a plate surface having an inclination angle that is variable relative to a horizontal plane.
VEHICLE-BODY STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE
A cowl panel comprises an upper face portion where a windshield is joined, a forward protrusion portion extending downwardly from the upper face portion, protruding forwardly, a rearward protrusion portion extending downwardly from a rear lower end of the forward protrusion portion, protruding rearwardly, and a lower face portion extending forwardly from a lower end of the rearward protrusion portion. A reinforcing member which is positioned on a forward side of the forward protrusion portion and the rearward protrusion portion of the cowl panel and joined to the forward protrusion portion and the lower face portion is provided. The reinforcing member comprises a straight portion which substantially straightly extends downwardly from a joint part where the reinforcing member is joined to the forward protrusion portion, and the straight portion is provided with a fragile part.
GRILLE WITH INTEGRATED ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The present disclosure relates to a system that includes a vehicle body which further includes a front beam. The system also includes an energy absorber that may be coupled to the front-end beam of the vehicle body. In an example, the energy absorber includes a first edge and a second edge that may be opposite to the first edge along a first direction. The energy absorber also includes a first exterior surface that extends between the first edge and the second edges of the energy absorber. Further, the first exterior surface includes a plurality of openings therein. The system also includes a grille having a first edge and a second edge which may be opposite to the first edge of the grille. In one example, the second edge of the grille may be coupled to the first edge of the energy absorber. The grille includes a plurality of extensions that may extend from the second edge in such a way that the plurality of extensions are positioned in the plurality of openings in the energy absorber.
Energy absorbing means for an autonomous ground vehicle
Energy absorbing means on an autonomous ground robot, which is intended for delivering packages in an uncontrolled and unprotected environment, include elastically deformable padding, crushable material, and spring-loaded or like mechanical devices.
