  • Patent number: 8079638
    Abstract: Provided is a front structure of a vehicle 1, and the front structure includes a pair of side members 30, a first cross member 10, a bumper 60, upper protruding-plate portions 41, lower protruding-plate portions 42, and a bracket 70. Each of the side members 30 includes an upper plate 31, a lower plate 32, and a vertical plate 33, the upper plate 31 and the lower plate 32 arranged to vertically face each other, the vertical plate 33 connecting the upper and lower plates 31 and 32. The first cross member 10 connects front-end portions 35 respectively of the side members 30. Each of the upper protruding-plate portions 41 extends frontwards integrally from the corresponding upper plate 31. Each of the lower protruding-plate portions 42 extends frontwards integrally from the corresponding lower plate 32 so as to face the corresponding upper protruding-plate portion 41.

  • Patent number: 8020925
    Abstract: A front structure of a cab-over type vehicle 1 includes a side member 10, a cab mount bracket 3, and a stiffener inner reinforcement 4. The cab mount bracket 3 is fixed to the side member 10, and includes a bracket base 31 mounted on a front end portion 15 of the side member 10 and a shaft supporting portion 30 supporting a cab 5. The stiffener inner reinforcement 4 is fixed to the side member 10, and includes a vertical wall portion 44. The vertical wall portion 44 is disposed in a direction that crosses a front-rear direction, between an upper plate 11 and a lower plate 12 of the side member 10 and below a rear end edge 36 of the bracket base 31. When a load F toward the rear is applied to the cab mount bracket 3, the vertical wall portion 44 suppresses upward bending deformation of the front end portion 15 of the side member 10.
