Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent impact absorption performance from being deteriorated while an impact is absorbed when a buffer load is applied to a lower part of a windshield.SOLUTION: In a windshield support structure of a vehicle according to the invention, a cowl panel 40 includes: a shelf part 410 forming a ceiling part of an engine room; and a vertical wall part 450 provided at a front end position of the shelf part 410. A rear end edge of the shaft part 410 is fixed to an upper end edge of a dash panel 33, and an upper end edge 453 of the vertical wall part 450 supports a lower part of a windshield 20. When a buffer load F is applied to the lower part of the windshield 20 at a substantially right angle, the vertical wall part 450 of the cowl panel 40 is bent in a direction such that the vertical wall part 450 overlaps with the shelf part 410 at a boundary location 420 and the shelf part 410 is bent so as to rotate downward relative to the upper end edge of the dash panel 33.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
【課題】本発明は、フロントガラスの下部に衝突荷重が加わったときの衝撃吸収性能が途中で低下しないようにすることを目的とする。【解決手段】本発明に係る車両のフロントガラス支持構造おいて、カウルパネル40は、エンジンルームの天井部を構成する棚状部410と、その棚状部410の前端位置に設けられた縦壁部450とを備え、棚状部410の後端縁がダッシュパネル33の上端縁に固定され、縦壁部450の上端縁453がフロントガラス20の下部を支える構成であり、フロントガラス20の下部に対してほぼ直角に衝突荷重Fが加わったときに、カウルパネル40の縦壁部450は、境界位置420で棚状部410と重なる方向に折れ曲がり、棚状部410はダッシュパネル33の上端縁に対して下方に回動するように折れ曲がる。【選択図】図5 |
