ABSTRACT:
An impact energy absorption structure for a vehicle, comprises left and right front frames having a closed section; left and right L-shaped stay members connected at a lower end thereof with the left and right front frames respectively and having left and right upper ends projected upward above the left and right front frame; and a bent member curved convexly in the forward direction of the vehicle and transversely connected at left and right ends thereof with the left and right upper ends respectively. The impact energy absorption structure is accommodated within a small space between the front bumper and the front end of the front frame and particularly it is suitable for vehicles having a short front over hang such as one box cars. As a result, at the event of a small collision, the impact energy is absorbed by the deformation of the impact energy absorption structure without operating an air bag.
