Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a mounting structure of a vehicle periphery monitoring device, the structure including (i) a front bumper reinforcement of a vehicle, (ii) a headlamp having a lamp housing, the headlamp being disposed further in a vehicle body upward direction than the front bumper reinforcement and at an outward end section in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle, (iii) a vehicle component disposed further in a vehicle body downward direction than the headlamp, and (iv) a vehicle periphery monitoring device disposed further in a vehicle body downward direction than a lower surface of the lamp housing, the vehicle periphery monitoring device separated by a first gap from an outward end surface in the vehicle width direction of the front bumper reinforcement, and being separated by a second gap from an upward end surface of the vehicle component.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A mounting structure of a vehicle periphery monitoring device, comprising: a front bumper reinforcement that extends along a vehicle width direction and is disposed in a frontward end section at a vehicle body of a vehicle; a headlamp having a lamp housing, a light source being housed in the lamp housing, the headlamp being disposed further in a vehicle body upward direction than the front bumper reinforcement and at an outward end section in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle; a vehicle component disposed further in a vehicle body downward direction than the headlamp; and a vehicle periphery monitoring device disposed further in a vehicle body downward direction than a lower surface of the lamp housing, the vehicle periphery monitoring device being separated by a first gap in the vehicle width direction from an outward end surface in the vehicle width direction of the front bumper reinforcement, and being separated by a second gap in a vehicle body vertical direction from an upward end surface of the vehicle component, the vehicle periphery monitoring device detecting an object frontwards and outwards in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle periphery monitoring device is attached to a bracket, the bracket suspends downwardly in the vehicle body vertical direction from the lower surface of the lamp housing. 2. The mounting structure of the vehicle periphery monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein an installation angle in planar view of the vehicle periphery monitoring device is assumed to be an angle at which a detecting region in which the object is detected does not interfere with a turning region of a front wheel.
