Abstract: A pedestrian protection airbag device includes an airbag case, a pair of inflators and an airbag. The airbag case is disposed at a lower face side of a hood rear end portion with a length direction thereof extending along a vehicle width direction. A vehicle width direction middle region of the airbag case, when viewed in a vertical cross-section extending in a vehicle front-and-rear direction, has a cross-sectional height in a vehicle up-and-down direction smaller than a cross-sectional height in the vehicle up-and-down direction of a general portion of the airbag case located at outer ends in the vehicle width direction of the middle region. The inflators are accommodated at both of vehicle width direction ends of the middle region. The airbag in the airbag case inflates from pressure of gas generated by the inflators, and deploys rearward through a gap between the hood rear end portion and a windshield.

Abstract: At a front bumper, supporting members that are bodies separate from a bumper RF are assembled to vehicle transverse direction both end portions of the bumper RF, and the supporting members extend from vehicle transverse direction both ends of the bumper RF toward vehicle transverse direction outer sides and a vehicle rear side. Further, the supporting members are disposed adjacent to vehicle rear sides of absorber side portions and pressure tube side portions.

Abstract: A vehicle bumper structure including: bumper reinforcement inside of a bumper cover provided at a front-rear direction outside end of a vehicle; an absorber disposed adjacent to the vehicle front-rear direction outside of the bumper reinforcement; a pedestrian collision detection sensor including a pressure tube extending between the bumper reinforcement and the absorber, bending toward a vehicle lower side at positions of both vehicle width direction end portions of the bumper reinforcement, including a left and right pair of tube end portions extending along a vehicle up-down direction, and outputting a signal according to a change in pressure in the pressure tube; and a reinforcement member, the reinforcement member being provided to a vehicle front-rear direction inside face of the bumper cover, reinforcing the bumper cover, and being disposed in a position superimposed in the vehicle front-rear direction on the tube end portion in plan view.

Abstract: A vehicle front portion structure including: a bumper reinforcement disposed at a vehicle front end portion side such that a longitudinal direction of the bumper reinforcement is aligned with a vehicle transverse direction; a pedestrian collision detection sensor comprising a pressure tube and outputting signals based on pressure changes in the pressure tribe, the pressure tube including: a main tube disposed at a vehicle front side of the bumper reinforcement d extending along the bumper reinforcement from one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the bumper reinforcement to another end portion in the longitudinal direction thereof; and a pair of outer side tubes provided continuously with the main tube and, as viewed from a vehicle front-rear direction, extending respectively towards a. vehicle lower side from positions of the one end portion and the other end portion of the main tube; and an absorber, is provided.

Abstract: A vehicle bumper structure including: bumper reinforcement at a rear of a bumper cover; an absorber in front of the bumper reinforcement; and a pedestrian collision detection sensor including a pressure tube between the bumper reinforcement and the absorber, wherein a position of a width direction outer end of the bumper reinforcement is set between a first normal line and a second normal line, where a front-rear reference line passes through a width direction outer end of a front hood or apron upper member and extends along a front-rear direction, the first normal line passes through an intersection point between the front-rear reference line and the bumper cover and extends along the direction of a normal line with respect to the width direction outer end of the bumper reinforcement, and the second normal line is offset by 100 mm to a width direction inner side of the first normal line.

Abstract: At a front bumper, a supporting member is mounted to a bent portion of a bumper RF, and the supporting member extends-out toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side from the bumper RF. Therefore, when a pressure tube is pressed at a time of a collision of a collision body with a vehicle corner portion, reaction force is applied from the supporting member to the pressure tube, and the pressure tube deforms. Due thereto, a collision with a collision body can be detected. Here, when load of a predetermined value or greater is inputted to the supporting member from a rear side, the supporting member separates from the bumper RF. Therefore, in a damage test, when the supporting member interferes with a sub-radiator that is at a vehicle rear side of the supporting member, the supporting member can be made to separate from the bumper RF.
