<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently absorb collision energy at the time of a collision of a vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: A protecting device 50 includes: left/right arms 51, 51 extending rearward from a vehicle body member 25, which is located in a front part of a vehicle body 12 and extends in the direction of the vehicle width; a panel member 52 which is positioned immediately behind the left/right arms 51, 51, extends in the vehicle width direction, and faces knees Ne of an occupant Mn sitting on a seat 11; and left/right lap parts 53, 53, which are displaced toward the front side by the collision energy applied from the panel member 52. The left/right lap parts 53, 53 extend rearward from the rear ends of the left/right arms 51, 51 toward the back surface of the panel member 52 and are inclined in the direction so as to face each other as they extend rearward. Rear ends 53a, 53a of the left/right lap parts 53, 53 overlap each other in the vehicle width direction with respect to lateral both ends 52a, 52a of the panel member 52. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
