- the connecting member 64 is second supported with respect to its initial position. It is pulled toward the leg 50 (in the direction of arrow f). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5B, the first support leg 48 is pulled toward the second support leg 50 by the connecting member 64, and the first support leg 48 as a whole is the second support leg. It is displaced to tilt to the 50 side. Further, since the first support leg 48 tilts as a whole, the reaction force due to the first support leg 48 acting on the connecting member 64 is reduced, so that the second support leg 50 becomes the first support leg. It becomes easy to tilt to the side opposite to the 48 side.
- the angle ⁇ ⁇ b> 1 of the first bent portion 56 is set smaller than the angle ⁇ ⁇ b> 2 of the second bent portion 60. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the initial stage when the bracket 40 receives the load F from the upper side of the vehicle, the upper portion of the first support leg 48 defines the first ridge line 56 ⁇ / b> A of the first bent portion 56. As a starting point, it bends and deforms stably toward the second support leg 50 side. As a result, the first support leg portion 48 tends to tilt toward the second support leg portion 50 from the initial stage, so that the bracket 40 is deformed more stably toward the second support portion 34 as a whole.
- the connecting member 64 has the flange portion 64B on one side in the connecting direction connected to the hole edge on the lower side of the first hole 58 and the flange portion 64C on the other side in the connecting direction of the second hole 62. It is connected to the lower hole edge.
- the rigidity changes greatly between the portion where the connecting member 64 is connected and the upper side thereof, so that the rigidity changing portions X1 and X2 are bent.
- the bracket 40 can be bent and deformed stably.
- the bracket 40 when the bracket 40 is deformed so as to separate the first ridge line 56A and the second ridge line 60A while deforming toward the second support part 34 as a whole, the second support leg part that receives a reaction force from the connecting member 64 50 bends and deforms with the stiffness changing portion X2 as a bending starting point (see FIG. 5B).
- the upper portion of the bracket 40 is largely crushed and deformed as shown in FIG. 5C.
- the bridge portion 64A of the connecting member 64 and the lower portion of the first support leg portion 48 are substantially aligned, and then the second support leg portion 50 is shown in FIG. 5D.
- the lower part of the bracket buckles and the deformation of the bracket 40 is completed.
- the bracket 40 is deformed in a stable deformation mode, and the upper front portion of the fender panel 22 shown in FIG. 2 is deformed toward the lower rear side of the vehicle. That is, even if the collision position and collision speed of the collision body 70 vary, the bracket 40 is deformed in a predetermined deformation mode (improvement of robustness). Further, the impact energy is stably absorbed by the bracket 40 being stably deformed in a predetermined deformation mode.
- FIG. 6 shows a GS diagram (pedestrian protection test result) showing the relationship between the acceleration and the displacement when the collision object (impactor) collides with the upper part of the fender panel from the upper side of the vehicle.
- the solid line shown in FIG. 6 represents the GS characteristic when the fender support structure according to the present embodiment is applied, and the two-dot chain line indicates the case where the fender support structure according to the contrast structure is applied. It represents the GS characteristic.
- the length in the vehicle vertical direction of the pair of front and rear support legs is set to the same length, and the fixed part to the vehicle body skeleton part side in the pair of front and rear support legs is set to the same height position.
- the second support portion may be provided with a space on the vehicle front side with respect to the first support portion according to the configuration of the peripheral portion of the bracket, or on the vehicle width direction inner side. May be provided at intervals, or may be provided at intervals outside the vehicle width direction.
- the second support portion having a relatively low height position is It may be provided at an interval on the front side of the vehicle with respect to one support portion.
- the bracket 40 of FIG. when there is a large space on the outside in the vehicle width direction of the bracket arrangement position and on the inside in the vehicle width direction of the bracket arrangement position on both sides in the vehicle front-rear direction, The two support portions may be provided with an interval on the inner side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the first support portion.
- the bracket in this case may be applied, for example, by rotating the bracket 40 of FIG.
- the height position is relatively low.
- Two support parts may be provided at an interval on the outer side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the first support part.
- the bracket 40 in this case may be applied by rotating the bracket 40 90 degrees to the left in a plan view around the vehicle vertical axis.
- the lower end of the second support leg may be the center of rotation and the second support leg may be the rotation radius with respect to the bracket in the vehicle installation state.
- the second rotation angle from the start of rotation when rotating to the side opposite to the side of the one support leg until the second support leg abuts against the other member is the first support for the bracket in the vehicle installation state.
- the first support leg comes into contact with the other members from the start of rotation when the lower end of the leg is set as the rotation center and the first support leg is set as the rotation radius to the opposite side of the second support leg. It is also possible to set it to be equal to or less than the first rotation angle.
- a configuration in which the first bent portion is not formed on the upper portion of the first support leg portion can be adopted, and a configuration in which the second bent portion is not formed on the upper portion of the second support leg portion can be adopted.
- a configuration in which the connecting portion is not provided may be employed.
- the connecting portion is constituted by the connecting member 64 welded to the bracket 40, but the connecting portion may be formed integrally with the bracket.
- a configuration in which the first hole is not formed through the upper portion of the first support leg portion may be employed, and a configuration in which the second hole is not formed through the upper portion of the second support leg portion may be employed.
