PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a knee protecting device enabling a shock absorbing member to effectively absorbing shock. SOLUTION: A frame 36 fixed on a moving frame 30 supports a restraining member 48 and the moving frame 30 and the frame 36 are moved rearward to arrange the restraining member 48 just in front of knees of an occupant in collision of a vehicle in an active knee bolster 10. Consequently, the frame 36 is deformed by receiving impact on the restraining member 48 from the knees of the occupant and the shock is absorbed. A lateral extension part 38 is extended to a right side or a left side and the longitudinal extension part 42 is extended upward from a tip of the lateral extension part 38 in the frame 36. Consequently, the frame 36 is not only mainly elastically deformed at the longitudinal extension part 42 to absorb the shock but also torsionally deformed at the lateral extension part 38 to absorb the shock. Consequently, the frame 36 can effectively absorb the shock. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
