  "textContent": "A bracket (25) supporting a base portion (28) of a lock device (18) to a frame member (17) includes paired first fixing portions (31a) which are fixed to the frame member (17), a second fixing portion (31c, 32a) to which the base portion (28) is fixed, and paired deformable portions (31b) which are formed of metal plates, and each of which is bent into a U shape with opposite ends thereof connected respectively with a corresponding one of the paired first fixing portions (31a) and the second fixing portion (31c, 32a). Thus, when a collision load of a frontal collision imposed on a front hood is transmitted to the base portion (28), plastic deformation occurs in the deformable portions (31b) of the bracket (25), whereby the base portion (28) is moved rearward to ensure an impact absorption stroke of the front hood. At this time, the load causing the plastic deformation of the deformable portions (31b) is constant without being influenced by the bolt tightening torque. Thus, a front portion of the front hood is always moved in a stroke rearward at an optimum load, so that the effect of absorbing the collision energy can be enhanced. Accordingly, it is possible to ensure an impact absorption stroke at collision of a front portion of an automobile by moving a front portion of a front hood rearward at a desirable load.",
