PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an instrument panel reinforcement which enables improvement of the collision performance against a small overlap collision to achieve further improvement of the rigidity.SOLUTION: A cylindrical instrument panel reinforcement 1 is disposed along a vehicle width direction in an instrument panel of a vehicle and includes: a large diameter part 11 supporting a steering column; a small diameter part 13 having an outer diameter smaller than that of the large diameter part 11 and being thinner than the large diameter part 11; and an intermediate part 12 disposed between the large diameter part 11 and the small diameter part 13. The intermediate part 12 is integrally formed with the large diameter part 11 and has an outer diameter smaller than that of the large diameter part 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】スモールオーバーラップ衝突に対する衝突性能を向上させ、さらに剛性を高めることができるインパネリインフォースメントを提供すること。【解決手段】車両のインストルメントパネル内において車両幅方向に沿って配設される筒状のインパネリインフォースメント1は、ステアリングコラムを支持する大径部11と、大径部11よりも外径が小さく、大径部11よりも厚みが薄い小径部13と、大径部11と小径部13との間に配置された中間部12と、を備えている。中間部12は、大径部11と一体的に形成され、大径部11よりも外径が小さい。【選択図】図1
