To provide a pedestrian protection device capable of restricting an increase in a capacity of a left airbag or a right airbag while capable of securing stable protection performance.SOLUTION: A pedestrian protection device includes a left airbag 40L and a right airbag 40R that are disposed in a vicinity of a rear end 8a of a hood panel 8 in a vehicle V and are arranged in parallel on vehicle width direction sides at inflation completion time when an inflating gas is caused to flow thereinto. The left airbag and the right airbag include respectively cowl cover portions 52L, 52R that are disposed along the vehicle width direction and cover an upper face side of a cowl when the inflation is completed. The cowl cover portions have respectively end portion regions 70L, 70R disposed coinciding with each other on up-down direction sides on end sides that are in proximity to each other. The end portion region 70R being one of the end portion regions is configured in such a way that an internal pressure when inflation is completed is raised higher than that of a general region 54 in the right airbag.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11
【課題】左エアバッグ若しくは右エアバッグの容積の増大を抑制できて、かつ、安定した保護性能を確保可能な歩行者保護装置を提供すること。【解決手段】車両Vにおけるフードパネル8の後端8a近傍に配設されるとともに、それぞれ、内部に膨張用ガスを流入させた膨張完了時に、車幅方向側で並設される左エアバッグ40Lと右エアバッグ40Rとを、備え、左エアバッグと右エアバッグとが、膨張完了時に、ともに、車幅方向に沿うように配置されて、カウルの上面側を覆うカウルカバー部52L,52Rを、備える。各カウルカバー部が、膨張完了時における相互に接近する端側に、上下方向側で相互に重ねられて配置される端部領域70L,70Rを、有する。一方の端部領域70Rが、膨張完了時の内圧を、右エアバッグにおける一般領域54よりも高められるように、構成されている。【選択図】図11
