Patent ID: 8764104

Claim:
A vehicle front body structure comprising: a front bulk head formed into a rectangular shape as viewed from a front side; a pair of left and right front side frames extending longitudinally of a vehicle body at laterally outer sides of the front bulk head; and impact-absorbing members having less rigidity than the front side frames, for absorbing an impact of a forward collision load, wherein: the front bulk head comprises upper and lower stays extending laterally in a width direction of the vehicle body, and a pair of left and right side stays extending vertically of the vehicle body, front ends of the front side frames are disposed at same positions longitudinally of the vehicle body as rear surfaces of the side stays, the front ends of the front side frames including first extending parts comprising substantially vertical panel sections extending downward along the rear surfaces of the side stays, and overlapping parts which respectively extend behind and overlap rear portions of the side stays; the lower stay having second extending parts comprising substantially horizontal panel sections extending laterally outward past the side stays to positions below the vertical panel sections of the first extending parts, and front edge surfaces of the first extending parts, top edge surfaces of the second extending parts and outside edge surfaces of the side stays are connected together to form connected sections, the connected sections forming areas for disposing the impact-absorbing members.
