Pedestrian protective radiator grill

摘要

A pedestrian protective radiator grill includes a radiator grill, an operation unit, and a guide unit. The radiator grill is provided at a front end portion of a vehicle and has an upper end portion that moves forward away from a vehicle body so that the radiator grill becomes perpendicular to the ground. The operation unit is connected to the radiator grill and pushes the radiator grill in a forward direction of the vehicle when an impact signal is input. The guide unit provided under the radiator grill guides forward linear movement of the radiator grill when the radiator grill is pushed forward by the operation unit, and guides rotational movement of the upper end portion of the radiator grill after the radiator grill reaches an end of its movable range.
