To provide a pedestrian protection device which, even if it is constituted to include a left airbag and a right airbag to be inflated on the left and the right of a wiper pivot disposed on a center side in a vehicle width direction, can cover an upper surface side of a cowl reliably and widely when inflation of the left airbag and the right airbag is completed.SOLUTION: A pedestrian protection device is constituted such that a left airbag 40L and a right airbag 40R are inflated on the left and the right of a wiper pivot 12R disposed on a center side in a vehicle width direction in a pair of a left wiper 10L and a right wiper 10R, respectively. The pedestrian protection device is also constituted such that upon completion of inflation, cowl cover parts 52L and 52R covering an upper surface side of a cowl 6 in the left airbag and the right airbag cause end side parts 55 and 60 on sides approaching each other to come into contact at a position above the wiper pivot. Upon completion of inflation, the end side part 55 of the cowl cover part 52R on one side covers an upper side of the wiper pivot in such a way as to be able to inhibit contact between a pedestrian and the wiper pivot.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9
【課題】車幅方向の中央側に配置されるワイパピボットの左右で膨張するような左エアバッグと右エアバッグとを備える構成としていても、左エアバッグ及び右エアバッグの膨張完了時に、カウルの上面側を、的確に広く覆い可能な歩行者保護装置を提供すること。【解決手段】左エアバッグ40Lと右エアバッグ40Rとが、それぞれ、左右の一対のワイパ10L,10Rにおいて車幅方向の中央側に配置されるワイパピボット12Rの左右で膨張する構成とされる。左エアバッグ,右エアバッグにおいてカウル6の上面側を覆うカウルカバー部52L,52Rが、膨張完了時に、相互に接近する側の端側部位55,60を、ワイパピボットの上方となる位置で接触させるような構成とされる。一方のカウルカバー部52Rの端側部位55が、膨張完了時に、歩行者とワイパピボットとの接触を抑制可能に、ワイパピボットの上方を覆う構成とされている。【選択図】図9
