Abstract
An impact-absorbing structure includes: a bumper face; a bumper beam; and an impact-absorbing member interposed to be compressively deformed between the exterior member and the movable-body-side rigid member. The movable-body-side rigid member, in an up-and-down direction of the movable-body-side rigid member, includes: a plurality of recesses recessed toward the movable body; and a protrusion protruding forward the movable body to be formed between the plurality of recesses. The plurality of recesses each have a vertical width gradually tapering toward the movable body, and the impact-absorbing member is fitted into at least two of the plurality of recesses.
Claims7
An impact-absorbing structure comprising:
- an exterior member for a movable body;
- a movable-body-side rigid member;
- and
- an impact-absorbing member interposed to be compressively deformed between the exterior member and the movable-body-side rigid member,
- wherein the movable-body-side rigid member, in an up and-down direction of the movable-body-side rigid member, includes:
- a plurality of recesses recessed toward the movable body;
- and
- a protrusion protruding forward the movable body to be formed between the plurality of recesses,
- the protrusion has a leading face flat in an up-and-down direction on a front side of the protrusion,
- the plurality of recesses each have a vertical width gradually tapering toward the movable body,
- the impact-absorbing member is fitted into at least two of the plurality of recesses,
- the movable-body-side rigid member includes a face portion outside the recess formed at an outermost portion among the plurality of recesses in the up-and-down direction to face in a front-and-rear direction of the movable body, the face portion being adjacent to the recess,
- a space is defined between the impact-absorbing member and the leading face of the protrusion, and
- a wall face on a front side of the space is aligned in the up-and-down direction with the face portion.
An impact-absorbing structure comprising:
- an exterior member for a movable body;
- a movable-body-side rigid member;
- and
- an impact-absorbing member interposed to be compressively deformed between the exterior member and the movable-body-side rigid member,
- wherein the movable-body-side rigid member, in an up-and-down direction of the movable-body-side rigid member, includes:
- a plurality of recesses recessed toward the movable body;
- and
- a protrusion protruding forward the movable body to be formed between the plurality of recesses,
- the plurality of recesses each have a vertical width gradually tapering toward the movable body,
- the impact-absorbing member is fitted into at least two of the plurality of recesses,
- the impact-absorbing member has a portion, corresponding to a leading face of the protrusion, on a side closer to the exterior member and being recessed toward the movable body, and
- the impact-absorbing member has a portion corresponding to the leading face of the protrusion extending in a front-and-rear direction of the movable body and having higher rigidity than another portion of the impact-absorbing member.
