本発明は、車体前部構造に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a vehicle body front structure.
車体前部構造として、近年、車両が衝突した歩行者の二次衝突の衝撃を緩和するために、車両のフロントフードの後端部を持ち上げて、歩行者の二次衝突によるフロントフードの変形量を大きくするようにしたものが知られている。この車体前部構造は、フロントフードを持ち上げて保持するために自動車用安全装置を備えている。
この自動車用安全装置には、シリンダおよびピストンロッドからなる直動型アクチュエータが採用されており、シリンダ内部に高圧ガスを発生させることで、ピストンロッドを上昇させ、フロントフードを持ち上げる。アクチュエータは、上下に長いものである。アクチュエータの下端部は、歩行者の二次衝突後に下方へ変位する。 In recent years, as a vehicle body front structure, in order to ease the impact of a secondary collision of a pedestrian who has collided with the vehicle, lifting up the rear end of the front hood of the vehicle to deform the front hood due to the secondary collision of the pedestrian It is known to increase the size of The front body structure is equipped with a safety device for the vehicle to lift and hold the front hood.
The automobile safety device employs a direct acting actuator including a cylinder and a piston rod. By generating high pressure gas inside the cylinder, the piston rod is raised to lift the front hood. The actuator is long up and down. The lower end of the actuator is displaced downward after the secondary collision of the pedestrian.

The automobile safety device employs a direct acting actuator including a cylinder and a piston rod. By generating high pressure gas inside the cylinder, the piston rod is raised to lift the front hood. The actuator is long up and down. The lower end of the actuator is displaced downward after the secondary collision of the pedestrian.
ところで、車体前部構造のなかには、フロントフードの後端部を持ち上げるために、フロントフードのヒンジにスリットを設け、スリットを起点としてヒンジを折り曲げる構成が開示されている。スリットを起点としてヒンジを折り曲げることにより、フロントフードの後端部を持ち上げることが可能になる(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
By the way, in the vehicle body front structure, in order to lift the rear end of the front hood, a slit is provided in the hinge of the front hood, and the hinge is bent starting from the slit. By bending the hinge starting from the slit, it is possible to lift the rear end of the front hood (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
しかし、特許文献1の車体前部構造は、ヒンジ(すなわち、フロントフード)の開閉方向にスリットが延びている。よって、フロントフードの通常の開閉時に、スリットを起点としてヒンジを折り曲げる力が作用する。このため、フロントフードの通常の開閉時に、ヒンジが折れ曲がらないようにするために、ヒンジの板厚寸法を大きくするなどの対策が必要とされる。
However, in the vehicle body front structure of Patent Document 1, the slit extends in the opening and closing direction of the hinge (that is, the front hood). Therefore, at the time of normal opening and closing of the front hood, a force acts to bend the hinge from the slit. Therefore, in order to prevent the hinge from bending when the front hood is normally opened and closed, it is necessary to take measures such as increasing the thickness of the hinge.
そこで、この発明は、フロントフードの通常の開閉時に剛性が足りなくなる大きなスリットを設けることなくヒンジを変形させることができる車体前部構造を提供する。

また、折れ部61は、車体前後方向において傾かないように車幅方向に沿って延びている。これにより、ヒンジアッパ38が折れ部61から折れた際に、車幅方向の変位が支持軸51に発生することを防止できる。すなわち、ヒンジアッパ38の回転を阻害せずにヒンジアッパ38を折れ部61から折り曲げて、フロントフード12を押し上げることができる。
Further, the bent portion 61 extends along the vehicle width direction so as not to be inclined in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. As a result, when the hinge upper 38 is broken from the bending portion 61, the displacement in the vehicle width direction can be prevented from occurring in the support shaft 51. That is, the front hood 12 can be pushed up by bending the hinge upper 38 from the bending portion 61 without inhibiting the rotation of the hinge upper 38.
上面53は、幅狭部64と、幅広部65とを備えている。幅狭部64は、支持軸51に相当する部位から第1変曲点56まで延びている。すなわち、幅狭部64は、第3変曲点58よりも支持軸51側に位置する。
第1変曲点56から幅狭部64の延長線上に幅広部65が延びている。すなわち、幅広部65は、第3変曲点58に対して幅狭部64とは反対側に設けられている。また、幅広部65は、幅狭部64よりも車幅方向の幅寸法が大きく形成されている。幅広部65は、フード取付部67と、アクチュエータ当接部68とが設けられている。 Theupper surface 53 includes a narrow portion 64 and a wide portion 65. The narrow portion 64 extends from a portion corresponding to the support shaft 51 to the first inflection point 56. That is, the narrow portion 64 is located closer to the support shaft 51 than the third inflection point 58.
Awide portion 65 extends from the first inflection point 56 on the extension of the narrow portion 64. That is, the wide portion 65 is provided on the side opposite to the narrow portion 64 with respect to the third inflection point 58. Further, the wide portion 65 is formed to have a width in the vehicle width direction larger than that of the narrow portion 64. The wide portion 65 is provided with a hood attachment portion 67 and an actuator contact portion 68.
第1変曲点56から幅狭部64の延長線上に幅広部65が延びている。すなわち、幅広部65は、第3変曲点58に対して幅狭部64とは反対側に設けられている。また、幅広部65は、幅狭部64よりも車幅方向の幅寸法が大きく形成されている。幅広部65は、フード取付部67と、アクチュエータ当接部68とが設けられている。 The

フード取付部67は、フロントフード12のインナパネル22(図3参照)に取り付けられる部位である。フード取付部67は、第3変曲点58よりも車幅方向において幅狭部64側に設けられている。具体的には、フード取付部67は、第3変曲点58よりも車幅方向内側に設けられている。
フード取付部67は、一対のボルト71、ナット72(図3参照)でフロントフード12のインナパネル22に取り付けられている。すなわち、ヒンジアッパ38は、一対のボルト71、ナット72でフロントフード12に取り付けられている。 Thehood attachment portion 67 is a portion attached to the inner panel 22 (see FIG. 3) of the front hood 12. The hood attachment portion 67 is provided closer to the narrow portion 64 in the vehicle width direction than the third inflection point 58. Specifically, the hood attachment portion 67 is provided inward of the third inflection point 58 in the vehicle width direction.
Thehood attachment portion 67 is attached to the inner panel 22 of the front hood 12 by a pair of bolts 71 and nuts 72 (see FIG. 3). That is, the hinge upper 38 is attached to the front hood 12 by a pair of bolts 71 and nuts 72.
フード取付部67は、一対のボルト71、ナット72(図3参照)でフロントフード12のインナパネル22に取り付けられている。すなわち、ヒンジアッパ38は、一対のボルト71、ナット72でフロントフード12に取り付けられている。 The

アクチュエータ当接部68は、自動車用安全装置16のアクチュエータ73が上昇して当接することにより、アクチュエータ73により押し上げられる部位である。アクチュエータ当接部68は、第3変曲点58よりも車幅方向において幅狭部64とは反対側に設けられている。具体的には、アクチュエータ当接部68は、第3変曲点58よりも車幅方向外側に設けられている。
The actuator contact portion 68 is a portion that is pushed up by the actuator 73 when the actuator 73 of the automobile safety device 16 rises and contacts. The actuator contact portion 68 is provided on the opposite side of the third inflection point 58 in the vehicle width direction to the narrow portion 64. Specifically, the actuator contact portion 68 is provided outside the third inflection point 58 in the vehicle width direction.
このように、上面53に幅広部65が設けられ、幅広部65にフード取付部67と、アクチュエータ当接部68とが設けられている。これにより、フード取付部67とアクチュエータ当接部68とを設ける際のレイアウトの自由度を高めることができる。
また、上面53に幅広部65が設けられることにより、幅広部65の剛性が高められている。剛性が高い幅広部65にアクチュエータ当接部68が設けられている。これにより、アクチュエータ73から受ける押上力により上面53が折れ部61よりも幅広部65側で折れることを防止できる。 As described above, thewide portion 65 is provided on the upper surface 53, and the hood attachment portion 67 and the actuator contact portion 68 are provided on the wide portion 65. Thus, the degree of freedom in layout when the hood attachment portion 67 and the actuator contact portion 68 are provided can be enhanced.
Further, by providing thewide portion 65 on the upper surface 53, the rigidity of the wide portion 65 is enhanced. The actuator contact portion 68 is provided on the wide portion 65 having high rigidity. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the upper surface 53 from being broken at the wider portion 65 side than the bending portion 61 due to the pushing up force received from the actuator 73.
また、上面53に幅広部65が設けられることにより、幅広部65の剛性が高められている。剛性が高い幅広部65にアクチュエータ当接部68が設けられている。これにより、アクチュエータ73から受ける押上力により上面53が折れ部61よりも幅広部65側で折れることを防止できる。 As described above, the
Further, by providing the
さらに、フード取付部67が車幅方向において幅狭部64側に設けられている。これにより、通常のフロントフード12の開閉時の力を支持軸51で効率的に支えることができる。
また、アクチュエータ当接部68が車幅方向において幅狭部64とは反対側に設けられている。アクチュエータ当接部68は、通常のフロントフードの開閉時にあまり影響がない部位である。剛性を高めるために広げられた部位にアクチュエータ当接部68を設けることで、アクチュエータ当接部68を設ける際のレイアウトの自由度を高めることができる。 Further, thehood attachment portion 67 is provided on the narrow portion 64 side in the vehicle width direction. Thereby, the force at the time of opening and closing of the normal front hood 12 can be efficiently supported by the support shaft 51.
In addition, theactuator contact portion 68 is provided on the opposite side of the narrow portion 64 in the vehicle width direction. The actuator contact portion 68 is a portion that has little influence when opening and closing the normal front hood. By providing the actuator contact portion 68 at the extended portion in order to increase the rigidity, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in layout when the actuator contact portion 68 is provided.
また、アクチュエータ当接部68が車幅方向において幅狭部64とは反対側に設けられている。アクチュエータ当接部68は、通常のフロントフードの開閉時にあまり影響がない部位である。剛性を高めるために広げられた部位にアクチュエータ当接部68を設けることで、アクチュエータ当接部68を設ける際のレイアウトの自由度を高めることができる。 Further, the
In addition, the
図3に示すように、アクチュエータ当接部68は、骨部24の外側縦壁32と上下方向において重なる位置に設けられている。よって、アクチュエータ73の押上力F1を、フロントフード12の骨部24で支えることができ、インナパネル22(すなわち、フロントフード12)の変形を抑制できる。
上面53の車幅方向内縁53aから下方に向けて側面54が延びている(張り出されている)。 As shown in FIG. 3, theactuator contact portion 68 is provided at a position overlapping the outer vertical wall 32 of the bone portion 24 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the pushing up force F1 of the actuator 73 can be supported by the bone portion 24 of the front hood 12, and the deformation of the inner panel 22 (that is, the front hood 12) can be suppressed.
Aside surface 54 extends (extends) downward from the vehicle width direction inner edge 53 a of the upper surface 53.
上面53の車幅方向内縁53aから下方に向けて側面54が延びている(張り出されている)。 As shown in FIG. 3, the
A
図4に示すように、側面54は、第1部81と、第2部82と、傾斜部83と、第2変曲点57とを有する。第1部81は、後端部81aが支持軸51に回転自在に支持されている。第1部81は、上面53の車幅方向内縁53aから下端81bまでの張出寸法(長さ寸法)がT1に形成されている。
第2部82は、上面53の車幅方向内縁53aから下端82aまでの張出寸法(長さ寸法)がT2に形成されている。第2部82の張出寸法T2は、第1部81の張出寸法T1よりも小さく設定されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, theside surface 54 has a first portion 81, a second portion 82, an inclined portion 83, and a second inflection point 57. The rear end 81 a of the first portion 81 is rotatably supported by the support shaft 51. The first portion 81 has an overhang dimension (length dimension) from the inner edge 53a in the vehicle width direction of the upper surface 53 to the lower end 81b of T1.
Thesecond portion 82 has an overhang dimension (length dimension) from the inner edge 53 a in the vehicle width direction of the upper surface 53 to the lower end 82 a of T 2. The overhanging dimension T2 of the second portion 82 is set smaller than the overhanging dimension T1 of the first portion 81.
第2部82は、上面53の車幅方向内縁53aから下端82aまでの張出寸法(長さ寸法)がT2に形成されている。第2部82の張出寸法T2は、第1部81の張出寸法T1よりも小さく設定されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the
The
傾斜部83は、第1部81の前側下端(下端)81cから第2部82の後側下端(下端)82bに向けて(上方に)傾斜されている。すなわち、第1部81の前側下端81cと第2部82の後側下端82bとが傾斜部83で接続されている。
第2変曲点57は、傾斜部83と第2部82の下端82aとの交差部(コーナー)に設けられている。すなわち、第2変曲点57は、側面54において上側へ向けて凹となる部位である。 Theinclined portion 83 is inclined (upwardly) from the front lower end (lower end) 81 c of the first portion 81 to the rear lower end (lower end) 82 b of the second portion 82. That is, the front lower end 81 c of the first portion 81 and the rear lower end 82 b of the second portion 82 are connected by the inclined portion 83.
Thesecond inflection point 57 is provided at the intersection (corner) of the inclined portion 83 and the lower end 82 a of the second portion 82. That is, the second inflection point 57 is a portion which is concave toward the upper side on the side surface 54.
第2変曲点57は、傾斜部83と第2部82の下端82aとの交差部(コーナー)に設けられている。すなわち、第2変曲点57は、側面54において上側へ向けて凹となる部位である。 The
The
このように、側面54は、第1部81の張出寸法T1と第2部82の張出寸法T2とが大きく変化して応力が集中する第2変曲点57(すなわち、交差部)に折れ部61が設けられている。これにより、側面54を好適に折り曲げることができ、フードヒンジ14のヒンジアッパ38を折れ部61の位置から安定させた状態で折り曲げることができる。
ここで、第2変曲点57と第1変曲点56とは、ヒンジアッパ38の折れ部61に対してヒンジアッパ38の長手方向において一致する位置に配置されている。換言すると、第2変曲点57は、平面視において、第1変曲点56や折れ部61に重なる位置に配置されている。 As described above, theside surface 54 is at the second inflection point 57 (that is, the crossing portion) where the stress is concentrated by largely changing the overhang dimension T1 of the first portion 81 and the overhang dimension T2 of the second portion 82. A fold 61 is provided. Thus, the side surface 54 can be suitably bent, and the hinge upper 38 of the hood hinge 14 can be bent in a stable state from the position of the bending portion 61.
Here, thesecond inflection point 57 and the first inflection point 56 are disposed at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the hinge upper 38 as to the bending portion 61 of the hinge upper 38. In other words, the second inflection point 57 is disposed at a position overlapping the first inflection point 56 and the broken portion 61 in plan view.
ここで、第2変曲点57と第1変曲点56とは、ヒンジアッパ38の折れ部61に対してヒンジアッパ38の長手方向において一致する位置に配置されている。換言すると、第2変曲点57は、平面視において、第1変曲点56や折れ部61に重なる位置に配置されている。 As described above, the
Here, the
以上説明したように、ヒンジアッパ38の上面53の車幅方向一縁に凸となる第1変曲点56が設けられている。さらに、ヒンジアッパ38の側面54に凹となる第2変曲点57が設けられている。加えて、第1変曲点56および第2変曲点57がヒンジアッパ38の折れ部61に一致している。よって、ヒンジアッパ38をアクチュエータ73で折れ部61から上下方向に折れる際に、側面54を車幅方向に折ることができる。
これにより、フードヒンジ14に、フロントフード12の通常の開閉時に剛性が足りなくなるような大きなスリットを設けなくても、フードヒンジ14をアクチュエータ73で変形させることができる。 As described above, thefirst inflection point 56 that is convex at one edge in the vehicle width direction of the upper surface 53 of the upper hinge 38 is provided. Furthermore, a second inflection point 57 that is concave is provided on the side surface 54 of the hinge upper 38. In addition, the first inflection point 56 and the second inflection point 57 coincide with the bending portion 61 of the hinge upper 38. Therefore, when the hinge upper 38 is vertically bent from the bending portion 61 by the actuator 73, the side surface 54 can be bent in the vehicle width direction.
Thus, thehood hinge 14 can be deformed by the actuator 73 without providing the hood hinge 14 with a large slit such that the rigidity is insufficient when the front hood 12 is normally opened and closed.
これにより、フードヒンジ14に、フロントフード12の通常の開閉時に剛性が足りなくなるような大きなスリットを設けなくても、フードヒンジ14をアクチュエータ73で変形させることができる。 As described above, the
Thus, the
ところで、ヒンジアッパ38にはストッパ39が設けられている。ストッパ39は、ヒンジアッパ38の幅狭部64および第1部81から幅広部65に対して下方へ離れる方向に傾斜した状態に延びている。
ストッパ39は、フロントフード12をアクチュエータ73で持ち上げた位置に保持するためのストッパである。すなわち、フードヒンジ14をアクチュエータ73で変形させてフロントフード12を持ち上げた際に、ストッパ39の先端部39aをフロントフード12に当接させて、フロントフード12を持ち上げた位置に保持する(図7も参照)。 By the way, the hinge upper 38 is provided with astopper 39. The stopper 39 extends from the narrow portion 64 and the first portion 81 of the hinge upper 38 in a direction inclined away from the wide portion 65 in a downward direction.
Thestopper 39 is a stopper for holding the front hood 12 at a position lifted by the actuator 73. That is, when the hood hinge 14 is deformed by the actuator 73 to lift the front hood 12, the tip 39a of the stopper 39 is brought into contact with the front hood 12 to hold the front hood 12 in the lifted position (FIG. 7). See also).
ストッパ39は、フロントフード12をアクチュエータ73で持ち上げた位置に保持するためのストッパである。すなわち、フードヒンジ14をアクチュエータ73で変形させてフロントフード12を持ち上げた際に、ストッパ39の先端部39aをフロントフード12に当接させて、フロントフード12を持ち上げた位置に保持する(図7も参照)。 By the way, the hinge upper 38 is provided with a
The
図2、図6に示すように、自動車用安全装置16は、例えばGセンサと、アクチュエータ73と、制御部とを備える。Gセンサは、例えば車両のフロントバンパ86(図7参照)に設けられている、アクチュエータ73は、フードヒンジ14の近傍に設けられている。
自動車用安全装置16によれば、例えばGセンサと車速との情報により、設定値以上の車速で、所定の重さの障害物91がフロントフード12に衝突した時と同等、あるいは、それ以上の衝撃を受けた場合にアクチュエータ73が作動する。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, theautomobile safety device 16 includes, for example, a G sensor, an actuator 73, and a control unit. The G sensor is provided, for example, in a front bumper 86 (see FIG. 7) of the vehicle. An actuator 73 is provided in the vicinity of the hood hinge 14.
According to thesafety device 16 for an automobile, for example, according to the information of the G sensor and the vehicle speed, when the obstacle 91 having a predetermined weight collides with the front hood 12 at a vehicle speed equal to or higher than the set value The actuator 73 is actuated when it receives an impact.
自動車用安全装置16によれば、例えばGセンサと車速との情報により、設定値以上の車速で、所定の重さの障害物91がフロントフード12に衝突した時と同等、あるいは、それ以上の衝撃を受けた場合にアクチュエータ73が作動する。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the
According to the
アクチュエータ73としては、例えばシリンダ87およびピストンロッド88からなる直動型アクチュエータが採用される。アクチュエータ73によれば、シリンダ87の内部に高圧ガスが発生することによりピストンロッド88を上昇させる。ピストンロッド88が上昇してアクチュエータ当接部68に当接し、アクチュエータ当接部68をピストンロッド88で押し上げる。
As the actuator 73, for example, a direct acting actuator including a cylinder 87 and a piston rod 88 is employed. The actuator 73 raises the piston rod 88 by generating high pressure gas inside the cylinder 87. The piston rod 88 ascends and abuts against the actuator contact portion 68, and pushes up the actuator contact portion 68 with the piston rod 88.
ここで、折れ部61が車幅方向に沿って延びている。よって、ヒンジアッパ38が折れ部61から折れた際に、車幅方向の変位が支持軸51に発生することを防止できる。これにより、ヒンジアッパ38の回転を阻害せずにフロントフード12を円滑に押し上げることができる。
Here, the broken portion 61 extends in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, when the hinge upper 38 is broken from the bending portion 61, it is possible to prevent the displacement in the vehicle width direction from occurring in the support shaft 51. Thereby, the front hood 12 can be pushed up smoothly without inhibiting the rotation of the hinge upper 38.
図3に示すように、アクチュエータ当接部68は、骨部24の外側縦壁32の下方において、外側縦壁32に重なるように設けられている。よって、ピストンロッド88の押上力F1を、フードヒンジ14だけではなくフロントフード12の骨部24でも支えることができる。これにより、フロントフード12の変形を抑制して、フロントフード12の左後端部12a(図7参照)がピストンロッド88で円滑に持ち上げられる。
As shown in FIG. 3, the actuator abutment portion 68 is provided below the outer longitudinal wall 32 of the bone portion 24 so as to overlap the outer longitudinal wall 32. Therefore, the push-up force F1 of the piston rod 88 can be supported not only by the hood hinge 14 but also by the bone portion 24 of the front hood 12. Thereby, the deformation of the front hood 12 is suppressed, and the left rear end 12a (see FIG. 7) of the front hood 12 is smoothly lifted by the piston rod 88.
図7に示すように、障害物91がフロントフード12に上方から衝突する二次衝突が起こる。フロントフード12の左後端部12aがピストンロッド88で持ち上げられた状態に保持されている。この状態において、フロントフード12が障害物91から下向きの荷重F2を受ける。
障害物91からフロントフード12に下向きの荷重F2を受けることにより、下向きの荷重F2でフロントフード12が矢印Bの如く下方に変形する。これにより、障害物91に与える衝撃を緩和して障害物91を保護できる。 As shown in FIG. 7, a secondary collision occurs in which anobstacle 91 collides with the front hood 12 from above. The left rear end 12 a of the front hood 12 is held lifted by the piston rod 88. In this state, the front hood 12 receives a downward load F2 from the obstacle 91.
By receiving the downward load F2 from theobstacle 91 to the front hood 12, the front hood 12 is deformed downward as indicated by the arrow B by the downward load F2. Thereby, the impact given to the obstacle 91 can be alleviated and the obstacle 91 can be protected.
障害物91からフロントフード12に下向きの荷重F2を受けることにより、下向きの荷重F2でフロントフード12が矢印Bの如く下方に変形する。これにより、障害物91に与える衝撃を緩和して障害物91を保護できる。 As shown in FIG. 7, a secondary collision occurs in which an

例えば、前記実施形態では、第1変曲点56を上面53の車幅方向内縁53aに設け、第3変曲点58を上面53の車幅方向外縁53bに設けた例について説明したが、これに限らない。
その他の例として、例えば、1変曲点56を上面53の車幅方向外縁(車幅方向一縁とは反対側の縁部)に設け、第3変曲点58を上面53の車幅方向内縁(車幅方向一縁)に設けることも可能である。 The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, thefirst inflection point 56 is provided at the inner edge 53a of the upper surface 53 in the vehicle width direction, and the third inflection point 58 is provided at the outer edge 53b of the upper surface 53 in the vehicle width direction. Not limited to.
As another example, for example, oneinflection point 56 is provided at the outer edge in the vehicle width direction of the upper surface 53 (the edge opposite to one edge in the vehicle width direction), and the third inflection point 58 in the vehicle width direction of the upper surface 53 It is also possible to provide it at the inner edge (one edge in the vehicle width direction).
例えば、前記実施形態では、第1変曲点56を上面53の車幅方向内縁53aに設け、第3変曲点58を上面53の車幅方向外縁53bに設けた例について説明したが、これに限らない。
その他の例として、例えば、1変曲点56を上面53の車幅方向外縁(車幅方向一縁とは反対側の縁部)に設け、第3変曲点58を上面53の車幅方向内縁(車幅方向一縁)に設けることも可能である。 The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, the

また、前記実施形態では、傾斜部83と第2部82の下端82aとの交差部に第2変曲点57を設けた例について説明したが、これに限定しない。その他の例として、第2変曲点57にノッチ程度のスリット(すなわち、窪み程度のスリット)を設けることも可能である。スリットは、第2変曲点57から第1変曲点56に向けて延びるように形成される。これにより、側面54(すなわち、折れ部61)を一層好適に折り曲げることができ、フードヒンジ14のヒンジアッパ38を折れ部61の位置から一層安定させた状態で折り曲げることができる。
Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the example which provided the 2nd inflexion point 57 in the intersection of the inclination part 83 and the lower end 82a of the 2nd part 82, it does not limit to this. As another example, it is also possible to provide the second inflection point 57 with a slit about the notch (that is, a slit about the recess). The slit is formed to extend from the second inflection point 57 toward the first inflection point 56. As a result, the side surface 54 (i.e., the bent portion 61) can be bent more suitably, and the hinge upper 38 of the hood hinge 14 can be bent in a more stable state from the position of the bent portion 61.
さらに、前記実施形態では、骨部24の外側縦壁32にアクチュエータ当接部68を重なるように設けた例について説明したが、これに限らない。その他の例として、例えば骨部24の内側縦壁33にアクチュエータ当接部68を重なるように配置することも可能である。

As another example, it is also possible to arrange the actuator contact portion 68 so as to overlap the inner vertical wall 33 of the bone portion 24, for example.
