Abstract
The bumper mounting structure includes a front side memberand a bumper reinforcing member. In assembly, the tip end of the front side memberis connected with the bumper reinforcing member. The tip end of the memberis opened and provided with a slant part, forming a weakened part in the member. When an impact load causes the bumper reinforcing memberto be deformed, the deformation of the front side memberis induced at its opened end because of its weakened structure. Consequently, it is possible to carry out the effective absorption of impact energy without elevating a reaction force abruptly.
