Patent number: 11685325Abstract: A vehicle body front structure of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle is equipped with a bumper beam disposed on a front side of a vehicle body and extending in a vehicle width direction. The bumper beam is fixed at its lateral end portions in the vehicle width direction to the vehicle body. A guide member is disposed on each lateral end portion of the bumper beam to cover a laterally outer end surface of the bumper beam in the vehicle width direction. The guide member has a deformation allowance caused to extend in a collision in accordance with a displacement of the bumper beam.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoichiro Hamano, Ryo Kita
