An instrument panel reinforcement structure has: a housing ( 24 ), that is made of metal and is disposed within an instrument panel ( 16 ), of a head-up display device ( 20 ) that projects image information onto a front windshield glass ( 14 ); and an instrument panel reinforcement ( 18 ) that is made of metal, and extends along a vehicle transverse direction within the instrument panel, and is joined to the housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An instrument panel reinforcement structure comprising: a housing of a head-up display device that is configured to project image information onto a front windshield glass, said housing being made of metal and being disposed within an instrument panel; and an instrument panel reinforcement that is made of metal, extends along a vehicle transverse direction within the instrument panel, and is joined to the housing, wherein the housing is shaped as a hollow box, and the instrument panel reinforcement is joined to the housing in a state of overlapping the housing as seen in a vehicle slide view. 2 . The instrument panel reinforcement structure of claim 1 , wherein the instrument panel reinforcement is divided in the vehicle transverse direction, and a divided pair of instrument panel reinforcements are joined respectively to a pair of side walls of the housing, which side walls are disposed along a vehicle longitudinal direction and face one another in the vehicle transverse direction. 3 . The instrument panel reinforcement structure of claim 1 , wherein mounting portions, that mount a placed part that is disposed within the instrument panel, are formed at the housing.
