A sun visor includes: a first light-blocking plate having a base attached to a seat width direction inside surface of a head rest of a front seat disposed in a vehicle via a fastener whose axial direction coincides with the seat width direction and selectively assuming a stored state in which the first light-blocking plate lies along the seat up and down direction about the fastener and a use state in which the first light-blocking plate lies along the seat front and rear direction about the fastener; a second light-blocking plate having a base end portion attached to a seat width direction outside surface of the head rest of the front seat via the fastener and selectively assuming the stored state and the use state; and a third light-blocking plate that interconnects in the seat width direction the first light-blocking plate and the second light-blocking plate.

A vehicular door structure includes a door outer panel that constitutes a door exterior panel; a door inner panel that constitutes a door interior panel and is made of a resin, the door inner panel having a first side that is provided to the door outer panel; and a door interior member located on a second side of the door inner panel, the door interior member facing to the vehicle interior, wherein the door inner panel includes a panel part that has a plurality fragile portions, the fragile portions having a linear shape or a dotted line shape and being provided in parallel with each other while being spaced from each other in at least one direction of a door width direction and a door vertical direction.

In a vehicle body front structure, a collision load is input to an outside protruding portion of a gusset when a portion farther to a vehicle width direction outside than a front side member of a vehicle collides in a frontal collision with a colliding object (here, barrier (B)) such as an oncoming vehicle (i.e., when a so-called small overlap collision occurs). This gusset is fixed in a cross section of a front portion of the front side member, so the collision load is able to be better transmitted to a vehicle width direction inside portion of the front side member. Moreover, this gusset abuts against a front end portion of the outer panel of the front side member from a vehicle front side, so the collision load is also able to be better transmitted to a vehicle width direction outside portion of the front side member.

A groove extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction in a roof side garnish positioned on a terminal portion of a ceiling portion. As a result, a curved surface appears to be divided into a curved surface on a center side of the ceiling portion and a curved surface on a terminal portion side of the ceiling portion. Consequently, an illusion in which the ceiling portion appears as though it were divided into the center side and the terminal side of the ceiling portion. As a result, the cabin space appears spacious, so an occupant is able to feel less closed in.

A vehicle-body front structure that is able to secure collision performance for a collision with a small overlap amount of a collision object with respect to a bumper frame portion is obtained. A vehicle-body front structure includes: paired frame members elongated in a vehicle front-rear direction and arranged side by side in a vehicle width direction; a bumper frame portion elongated in the vehicle width direction and provided over front ends of the paired frame members in the vehicle front-rear direction; and a load transmission member. The load transmission member is placed on an inner side in the vehicle width direction relative to at least one of the frame members so as to be opposed to a load receiving portion placed between the paired frame members from at least one of a front side in the vehicle front-rear direction and an outer side in the vehicle width direction within a range where the load transmission member overlaps with the frame member in a vehicle up-down direction.

Vehicle-body front structure

A vehicle body front structure includes a front side member that is arranged on a side portion of a vehicle body front portion and extends in a vehicle body front-rearward direction; an extending portion that extends farther toward an outside in a vehicle width direction than the front side member; and a load transmitting member that connects the extending portion and the front side member together, and is configured such that a pushing portion on a front end side is guided toward a receiving portion on a rear end side by an intermediate portion deforming in response to a frontal collision load.

Vehicle body front structure

According to a vehicle-body front structure, when a collision load caused at the time of a front end collision is input into a front part of a connecting member fixed to a front end of an apron upper member, a protruding member protruding outwardly in a vehicle width direction from a front part of a side-member main body is able to interfere with the front part of the connecting member from a vehicle rear side. This makes it possible to improve a transmission efficiency of the collision load between the connecting member and the front side member. Besides, the front part of the connecting member is reinforced by a bulk head, thereby making it possible to restrain the front part from being deformed by the collision load.

Automobile vehicle-body front structure

In a vehicle body front structure, a crash box provided in a front part of a front side member is broken by applying pressure due to a collision load, so that a second load transmission member moves backward toward a first load transmission member. This allows the second load transmission member to abut with the first load transmission member, thereby making it possible to transmit the collision load input into the second load transmission member, to a body portion of the front side member via the first load transmission member. Besides, since the second load transmission member is not provided in a bumper reinforcement, it is possible to replace the bumper reinforcement separately from the second load transmission member.

When a collision load is transmitted to a gusset, the load is transmitted to an inner side in a vehicle width direction via an inclined wall. Accordingly, moment that causes a front side member to be projected and bent inward to the inner side in the vehicle width direction with an intersection being a starting point acts on the front side member. Then, the front side member, which has been projected and bent inward, collides with a power unit that is disposed in an engine compartment from an outer side in the vehicle width direction. Accordingly, a lateral force to the inner side in the vehicle width direction can be obtained for a vehicle.
