Vehicular pop-up hood device
View Patent ↗According to the present invention, a vehicular pop-up hood device includes a cylinder, a piston rod that can protrude from a front end of the cylinder, a gas generator to urge the piston rod, the gas generator provided at a side of a rear end of the cylinder, and a bracket to attach the cylinder to a vehicle body. The bracket includes a top portion engaged with the front end of the cylinder, and an overhanging portion for attachment to the vehicle body, the overhanging portion overhanging from the cylinder in a direction intersecting with an axial direction of the cylinder.
1. A vehicular pop-up hood device comprising:
a cylinder; a piston rod that can protrude from a front end of the cylinder; a gas generator to urge the piston rod, the gas generator provided at a side of a rear end of the cylinder; and a bracket to attach the cylinder to a vehicle body,
wherein the bracket includes
a top portion engaged with the front end of the cylinder,
an overhanging portion for attachment to the vehicle body, the overhanging portion overhanging from the cylinder in a direction intersecting with an axial direction of the cylinder, and,
the bracket includes a connection portion continuous to the top portion, extending along the cylinder, and connecting the overhanging portion with the top portion.
2. The vehicular pop-up hood device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the front end of the cylinder is welded with the top portion.
3. The vehicular pop-up hood device according to claim 1 ,
further comprising a front-end-side cover part covering a front end portion of the vehicular pop-up hood device and made of hot-melt synthetic resin.
4. The vehicular pop-up hood device according to claim 1 , further comprising a rear-end-side cover part covering a rear end portion of the vehicular pop-up hood device and made of the hot-melt synthetic resin.
5. The vehicular pop-up hood device according to claim 4 ,
further comprising a harness continuous to the gas generator that is routed in a direction toward the front end of the cylinder along an outer surface of the cylinder, and
wherein the harness is embedded in and fixed to the rear-end-side cover part.
6. The vehicular pop-up hood device according to claim 4 , wherein a harness is continuous to the gas generator, and a connector portion of the harness connected with the gas generator is embedded in the rear-end-side cover part and is pushed in at a side of the gas generator.
7. The vehicular pop-up hood device according to claim 1 , further comprising a front-end-side cover part covering a front end portion of the vehicular pop-up hood device.
8. The vehicular pop-up hood device according to claim 1 , further comprising a rear-end-side cover part covering a rear end portion of the vehicular pop-up hood device.
9. A vehicular pop-up hood device comprising:
an actuator including a cylinder, a piston rod that can protrude from a front end of the cylinder, and a gas generator to urge the piston rod, the gas generator provided at a side of a rear end of the cylinder; and
a bracket to attach the actuator to a vehicle body,
wherein the vehicular pop-up hood device includes
a rear-end-side cover part covering a rear end portion of the vehicular pop-up hood device and made of hot-melt synthetic resin,
wherein a harness continuous to the gas generator is routed along an outer surface of the cylinder in a direction toward the front end of the cylinder, and
wherein the harness is embedded in and fixed to the rear-end-side cover part.
