Patent ID: 7380829

Claim:
A front body structure of a vehicle, comprising: a pair of right and left front side members disposed at a front portion of a vehicle body along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body; a connecting member including a pair of front end and a pair of rear ends in a transverse direction of the vehicle, the the front ends being respectively fixed to front fixing portions and the rear ends being respectively fixed to rear fixing portions of the pair of right and left front side members; and fixing mechanisms disposed on the right and left rear fixing portions, the fixing mechanisms releasing, when a load applied to the front side members from a front side of the vehicle is equal to or more than a predetermined value at a time of full-lapped collision, a state in which the front side members are fixed to the connecting member, and maintaining, at a time of offset collision, a state in which the collided front side member is fixed to the connecting member, wherein the fixing mechanisms include slits extending parallel to the front side members and first branches branching from vicinities of rear-end openings of the slits toward inner rear sides of the vehicle, and fixing members of the connecting member can move in the slits and the first branches, and the first branches are structured such that, at the time of offset collision, the fixing members fixing the connecting member to the collided front side member move and fit into the first branch of the slit.
