Vehicle front end structure
A carrier ( 1 ) is secured to a vehicle front end portion via a bracket ( 4 ) secured to side members ( 2 ) and a bumper reinforcement ( 3 ). The connecting portions of the carrier ( 1 ) to the bracket ( 4 ) are deviated from the side members ( 2 ) when viewed from the front side of a vehicle. The b...

| description | A carrier (
1
) is secured to a vehicle front end portion via a bracket (
4
) secured to side members (
2
) and a bumper reinforcement (
3
). The connecting portions of the carrier (
1
) to the bracket (
4
) are deviated from the side members (
2
) when viewed from the front side of a vehicle. The bracket (
4
) is provided with a reinforcing member portion (
4
a
) to connect the left and right side members (
2
). Accordingly, the action of a large impact force on the carrier (
1
) can be prevented because only a collision force from the bumper reinforcement (
3
) acts on the carrier (
1
) and no reaction force, from the side members, acts on the carrier, when a collision occurs. Therefore, the carrier (
1
) can be prevented from being broken when a light collision occurs because the attaching portions of the carrier (
1
) are seldom broken. The rigidity of a vehicle body can be increased by the reinforcing member portion (
4
a
), and the necessary rigidity of the carrier (
1
) can be reduced. Thus, the weight of the carrier (
1
) can be reduced. |
