Patent number: 6412581Abstract: A radiator mounting structure which has a front grill located in front of a radiator and provided with a projection extending toward the radiator. When a hood collides with an obstacle M and is deformed, the deformation causes the front grill to move rearward whereby the radiator is urged rearward of a vehicle body to tilt in the same direction. Thus, the hood is sufficiently deformable to thereby sufficiently alleviate an impact shock to be applied to the obstacle within a limited space.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2000Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koji Enomoto, Suguru Yoshida
