  • Divisional cowl-top cover
    Patent number: 9381947
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a divisional cowl-top cover. In an upper cowl-top cover, a first engaging claw is formed on a front face side of a supporting portion configured to support a sealing member, and at an upper end of a lower cowl-top cover, a second engaging-receiving portion configured to engage with the first engaging claw from an upper side is formed. If an impact load acts on a hood and then the upper cowl-top cover moves downward, the first engaging claw and the second engaging-receiving portion are disengaged from each other, and the upper cowl-top cover lowers while supporting lowering of the hood, and is capable of absorbing the impact load while lowering.
