ABSTRACT:
A bonnet of a vehicle, which contains an engine room, consists of a front panel and side panels mounted on a frame structure of the vehicle and a hood vertically rotatably mounted over the front and side panels. Left and right second upright frames are erected on the upper surface of a front portion of a bottom plate which is spread over left and right horizontal frames. The left and right second upright frames are provided with a forward segment having an upward pin. The upper outer side surface of the left and right second upright frames are further provided with a lateral, outward segment having an upward pin. A first upright frame, which supports a dashboard, is provided on its left and right outer portions thereof with lateral outward segments having upward pins. Left and right horizontal frames are provided on the lower outer side portions of first upright frame with respective segments having respective holes. The front portion of the bottom plate is provided with holes. The upper portion of the front panel is provided with rearwardly projecting left and right lateral segments having holes. The lower end of the front panel is provided with downwardly projecting left and right dowels. The front panel is mounted on the front portion of the bottom plate so as to be checked in its longitudinal and lateral movement by the respective engagement of the segment pins on the first upright frame with the segment holes of the front panel and the front panel dowels with the bottom plate holes. Each side panel is provided on the upper end thereof with laterally, inwardly projecting front and rear segments and on the lower end thereof with a downward pin. Each side panel is mounted on its respective horizontal frame so as to be checked in its longitudinal and lateral movement by the respective engagement of the pins located on the second upright support, the first upright support and the lower portion of the side panel with the holes in the segments disposed on the front upper portion of the side panel, the rear upper portion of the side panel and the horizontal frame, respectively. The closed hood suppresses the mounted front and side panels thereby preventing their vertical movement.
