Patent ID: 7407192

Claim:
A vehicle end structure comprising: first and second side frame members longitudinally extending from proximal end portions located adjacent to a cabin of a vehicle to distal end portions located at a longitudinal end portion of the vehicle; a suspension support member disposed below the first and second side frame members adjacent to the proximal end portions of the first and second side frame members; and first and second pressure receiving members having proximal end portions coupled to a front end portion of the suspension support member and distal end portions longitudinally spaced from the proximal end portions of the first and second pressure receiving members, respectively, so that the first and second pressure receiving members extend from the front end portion of the suspension support member to the longitudinal end portion of the vehicle in directions substantially parallel to the first and second side frame members, respectively, and so that the distal end portions of the first and second pressure receiving members are substantially vertically aligned with the distal end portions of the first and second side frame members, respectively, as viewed in a vehicle transverse direction, each of the first and second pressure receiving members including a plurality of deformation structures that are spaced apart in an axial direction of the first and second pressure receiving members.
