Problems solved by technology

In the event of a frontal collision of the vehicle, this support is capable of causing significant deformation at the position of the front pillar and therefore of the cockpit
In addition, the deformation of the inner panel of the front wall or the front pillar greatly increases the cost of vehicle repairs

Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 is a side view of the front structure of a motor vehicle according to the invention. The structure 2 comprises in particular a front pillar or pillar 4 , a fender support 6 , a front reinforcement 8 and a front fender liner 12 , which is not depicted due to the clarity of the description of the invention.

[0025] figure 2 and 3 The arrangement of these elements is shown in more detail. exist figure 2 and 3 In FIG. 1 it can be seen that the fender support 6 extends longitudinally from the front pillar 4 towards the front of the vehicle. The fender liner 12 is connected to the support 6 and extends below the support 6 . The lateral stiffeners are supported on the front pillar 4 and extend from said base 4 towards the front of the vehicle along the fender liner 12 . The fender support 6 has a substantially horizontal surface for mounting the corresponding front fender by tightening screws.

Abstract

The invention relates to a front structure of a vehicle, essentially comprising a front foot (4), a wing lining (12), a wing support (6) connected to the wing lining, and a lateral reinforcement (8). The wing support (6) extends from the front foot (4) towards the front of the vehicle. It consists of a longitudinal structural element, with an attenuation area in a rear part. Said attenuation area is configured so as to generate a component vertical to the deformation thereof in the event of an impact with the vehicle, said component being however limited by the presence of the lateral reinforcement (8). Said controlled deformation of the front lateral elements of the vehicle limits the deformation of the elements constituting the structure, such as the front foot (4), and in this way facilitates the reparation of the vehicle and reduces the intrusion into the passenger compartment following a frontal impact.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is concerned with the problem of deformation of the front of the vehicle in the event of a crash. More specifically, the present invention relates to a front fender support of a motor vehicle and a vehicle front structure including said support. Background technique [0002] Patent document US 7,140,674 B2 discloses a front structure of a motor vehicle, said structure comprising in particular an upper support and a lower Support (reference number 50). The support is formed by a first metal profile of U-section. A second metal profile (reference number 40 ), also having a U-shaped section, forming the outer reinforcement, is fitted at the rear of the fender support so as to form a hollow body. The reinforcement is fastened at its rear, in particular by tightening screws, to the bearing that fixes the hinge of the front door. Bell housings are arranged to receive the front wheel suspension struts and are secured laterally to the...
