ABSTRACT:
A pedestrian protecting device includes an airbag housed below a cowl louver made of a synthetic resin, such that it is folded in an elongated shape along the cowl louver. The airbag can be expanded to protrude upward by an inflating gas discharged from an inflator, to protect a pedestrian. The cowl louver includes a door portion covering the airbag when folded and housed, and curved to protrude to the front at the respective centers of its front and rear edges. This door portion can be opened to the front or to the rear by the expanding airbag. The door portion is formed integrally with the cowl louver and includes expansion promoting means so that it can be smoothly opened.
