Interior shock absorbing structure

摘要

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