Abstract: A rear apron panel is provided between a suspension tower and a dash panel. A vertical branch brace is provided to extend upwardly from a front side frame along an inner face of a suspension tower to form a closed cross section with a rear portion of the suspension tower. A deformation restraint member interconnects the apron frame and the vertical branch brace. Accordingly, there is provided a vehicle-body front structure which can restrain the apron frame from deforming outwardly in the vehicle width direction in the vehicle frontal collision to prevent the dash panel from moving back into the vehicle compartment too much.

Abstract: A centroid of bend portions of a front side frame (frame member) is offset to a specified direction of a vehicle width direction (a bending direction of the front side frame) from a centroid of a different portion from the bend portions. Accordingly, a frame structure which can properly provide the bend portion without causing any improper increase of the number of members can be provided.

Abstract: A vehicle bumper structure (3) includes a pair of left and right crush cans (10), a bumper beam (20), an energy absorbing member (30) and a bumper face (35). Each of the crush cans (10) has an outside wall (17) and an inside wall (18), the inside wall (18) having higher longitudinal stiffness than the outside wall (17). When a full-wrap collision occurs at a speed below a specified speed limit, neither of the two crush cans (10) crushes but the energy absorbing member (30) and the bumper beam (35) warp and absorb impact energy. When an offset collision occurs at a speed equal to or above the specified speed limit, on the other hand, one of the crush cans (10) sufficiently crushes and absorbs impact energy in a reliable fashion.
