Abstract

See full text

A vehicle hood airbag device in which a door (18) that covers an opening (22A) in the outer hood panel (22) is supported by a hinge (21) when an airbag (16) is deployed. The hinge (21) is connected to a stepped bolt (52) (a connector member) on the side of an inner hood panel (24) so that the hinge (21) is relatively displaceable within a predetermined range with respect to the inner hood panel (24). Accordingly, it is possible to accommodate the dimensional variation between the opening (22A) of the outer hood panel (22) and the door (18) when the door (18) is attached to the outer hood panel (22) to cover the opening (22A) by the relative displacement of the hinge (21) with respect to the stepped bolt (52), thereby maintaining design integrity with the external appearance of the vehicle.
