<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent impact absorption performance of an engine hood from deteriorating, and contribute to reduction of a degree of injury of a pedestrian. <P>SOLUTION: A duct body 32 is divided into a first region part 52 positioned away from between the engine hood 14 and a radiator support 16, and a second region part 54 positioned between the engine hood 14 and the radiator support 16. A high rigid first support part 42 is arranged in the first region part 52, and a low rigid second support part 44 is arranged in the second region part 54. Accordingly, when an impact force due to collision to the pedestrian is applied to a first duct outer wall part 34 via the engine hood 14, only the second support part 44 is deformed to deform the second region part 54 in a crushed manner, thereby allowing recessed deformation of the engine hood 14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
