Front vehicle body structure of a vehicle, a pedestrian impact protection, and method for protecting a pedestrian

摘要

A protective member 10 comprises a pair of right and left supports 11, which extends obliquely downwardly and forwardly of the front sections of a pair of right and left side frames 1, and a reinforcement 12, which are in a car below a bumper beam 3 and against front ends of the supports 11 is fixed. The stiffening 12 has a closed cross section which extends in the direction of the car''s width, and an upper surface of its central section in the width of the car has a concave portion 12a on. A lower surface of the reinforcement 12 extends horizontally in the essentially straight. It is preferred that the closed cross section of the central portion of the reinforcement 12 is configured in such a way that a vertical distance is relatively small and its longitudinal width relatively large in comparison with the other part of the reinforcement 12 is.
