Interior shock absorbing structure

摘要

An interior shock absorbing structure for a vehicle includes a shock absorbing member (4). A roof brace (lateral reinforcing beam) (3) is attached to the inner surface of a roof panel (1) facing a passenger room. The shock absorbing member (4) is attached to the roof brace (3) so as to cover the roof brace at positions nearer to the roof panel (1) with respect to a lower wall member (3B) of the roof brace (3). The shock absorbing member (4) has an inner wall spaced a predetermined long distance a corresponding to a shock absorbing stroke, apart from the lower wall member (3B) of the roof brace. The shock absorbing member (4) is able to collapse through a sufficiently long shock absorbing stroke (b) when shocks are exerted thereon.
