Abstract: An impact absorbing member is formed by bending one sheet of a metal plate material and then joining adjacent end parts thereof. The impact absorbing member includes the following integrally-connected portions: a fixing plate, an impact absorbing part having two first side wall plates and two second side wall plates, two flange plates, and two bridge plates. The impact absorbing part overall has an approximate square or rectangular tube shape after being bent. Joining parts are provided at each opposing end parts of the first and second side wall plates. The adjacent end parts of the first and second side wall plates overlap and are joined. The end parts of the two flange plates are also joined to the end parts of the two bridge plates.

Abstract: A hood lock reinforcement is configured as a result of a thick sheet and a thin sheet whose sheet thicknesses are mutually different being joined, and in this hood lock reinforcement, a bottom portion including a site to which a striker is fixed is configured by the thick sheet and is disposed on a bottom wall portion of a hood inner panel. Further, an extension portion disposed extending from a hood front-rear direction rear end of the bottom portion of the hood lock reinforcement toward a hood outer panel side has a site on the hood outer panel side whose sheet thickness is set thin as compared to the sheet thickness of the bottom portion of the hood lock reinforcement as a result of that site being configured by the thin sheet.
