Pedestrian protection apparatus for vehicle

A pedestrian protection apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

• a resin base member which is disposed at a lower region of a front of the vehicle so as to extend in a front to back direction of the vehicle, which includes a front portion and a rear portion and is fixed at the rear portion to the vehicle;
• a plurality of reinforcing beads integrally formed at the front portion of the resin base member so as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a vehicle width direction, the plurality of reinforcing beads being extended in the front to back direction of the vehicle and having an angular U-shaped cross section that protrudes at least one of upward and downward;
• the apparatus being arranged to protect a leg portion of a pedestrian that has collided with the front of the vehicle by contact of a front end of the resin base member with the leg portion of the pedestrian,
• wherein at least one planar connecting rib is vertically provided on a portion of the resin base member that is positioned between any adjacent reinforcing beads at the front portion of the resin base member, the at least one planar connecting rib being extended in a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the reinforcing beads to connect opposing surfaces of the adjacent reinforcing beads.
