Abstract
A front pop-up latch safety hook structure for an active hood of a vehicle having a front end module (FEM) including a front end carrier is provided. The structure includes a plate-shaped frame and a striker mounted on a front surface of the plate-shaped frame and fixed to a bottom of the hood. A safety hook is provided in front of the front end carrier of the FEM and is movable to an engagement location with the striker and a release location from the striker. A latch is configured to engage with or to disengage from the striker. A pop-up means is configured to pop up a hood by forcibly lifting the striker while the latch engages with the striker as the safety hook disengages from the striker when a collision of the vehicle occurs.
