• a first support portion which is supported by a vehicle body member and extends toward the knee;
• a first load receiving portion which extends from an extended tip end of the first support portion in a direction which crosses the load application direction;
• and
• a first deformation portion which is arranged between the first support portion and the first load receiving portion, and is adapted to be deformed when the load is applied, and
• a second bracket which includes:
• a second support portion which is supported by the vehicle body member or the first bracket and extends along the first support portion;
• a second load receiving portion which extends along the first load receiving portion;
• and
• a second deformation portion which is arranged between the second support portion and the second load receiving portion, and is adapted to be deformed when the load is applied;
• wherein
• the second bracket is arranged such that a distance between the second load receiving portion and the knee is shorter than a distance between the first load receiving portion and the knee, in the load application direction,
• wherein:
• the first bracket includes a first tip end portion at an opposite side of the first deformation portion with respect to the first load receiving portion;
• and
• the second bracket includes a second tip end portion at an opposite side of the second deformation portion with respect to the second load receiving portion, and wherein
• the second tip end portion is arranged such that a distance between the second tip end portion and the knee is shorter than a distance between the first tip end portion and the knee, in the load application direction.
