Abstract:
Systems and apparatus for a vehicle for improving pedestrian safety. The apparatus includes a hood of a vehicle including a hood outer panel having an exterior surface and an interior surface. The hood includes a hood inner panel connected to the hood outer panel. The hood includes a reinforcing patch connected to the interior surface of the hood outer panel between the hood outer panel and the hood inner panel, at a reinforcing location aligned with a structural component of the vehicle. The reinforcing patch is configured to increase the rigidity and mass of the hood outer panel at the reinforcing location to absorb energy from a pedestrian struck by the vehicle and to reduce impact from the structural component of the vehicle onto the pedestrian when the hood outer panel and the hood inner panel become compressed onto the structural component of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 6):
The hood of  claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing patch has a uniform thickness.
