  Thus, in the arrangement structure of the emergency notification device 5 described above, the emergency notification device 5 is disposed in the internal space 1S of the instrument panel 1R between the airbag deployment region 34 and the instrument panel member 2.

  For this reason, even if a passenger accident in which a collision object collides with the vehicle occurs, even if the passenger in the passenger seat PS is pushed forward F, the passenger can be caused to collide with the airbag 33. Thereby, the impact which a part of the said passenger | crew's body gives to the emergency call apparatus 5 can be reduced.

  The emergency call device 5 is supported by the instrument panel member 2. For this reason, when the above-mentioned collision accident occurs, it is assumed that a vehicle member in front F of the passenger compartment, such as a dash panel (not shown) that partitions the passenger compartment and the engine compartment, is deformed to face the emergency call device 5. In addition, the deformed member can collide with the instrument panel member 2. Thereby, the impact which the said member gives to the emergency call apparatus 5 can be reduced.

  Further, an end 4L on the left side L in the vehicle width direction of the bracket 4 is located outside the glove box 6 with respect to the end 6L on the end 4L side of the glove box 6 in the vehicle width direction. For this reason, when the above-mentioned collision accident occurs, even if the glove box 6 is pushed upward U, the glove box 6 can collide with the bracket 4. Thereby, the impact which the glove box 6 gives to the emergency call apparatus 5 can be reduced.

  Moreover, the emergency call apparatus 5 is provided with the connection part 51 of the harness 71 in the edge part 5L by the side of the speaker 7 in a vehicle width direction, as shown to FIG. 2 (B). Further, the end portion 4L on the speaker 7 side in the vehicle width direction of the bracket 4 is closer to the speaker 7 than the connection portion 51 in the vehicle width direction. For this reason, when the above-mentioned collision accident occurs, even if the glove box 6 is pushed upward, the glove box 6 can be made to collide with the bracket 4.

As a result, when the above-described collision accident occurs, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the voice indicated by the voice signal output by the emergency call device 5 is not output.

  The speaker 7 is disposed at the center of the instrument panel 1 in the vehicle width direction. For this reason, as compared with the case where the speaker 7 is disposed on the end side of the instrument panel 1 with respect to the center in the vehicle width direction, a collision accident has occurred in which a collision object collides from the side surface in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle. The possibility that the speaker 7 is sometimes damaged can be reduced.

  Further, the bracket 4 is attached to the instrument panel member 2 only at the right end portion 4R in the vehicle width direction, and has an inclined surface 41 at the left end portion 4L in the vehicle width direction. Further, the left end 4L of the bracket 4 in the vehicle width direction is closer to the outer side of the glove box 6 than the end 6L on the end 4L side in the vehicle width direction of the glove box 6 in the vehicle width direction. It is formed to become.

  For this reason, when the above-mentioned collision accident occurs, even if the glove box 6 is pushed upward U, the glove box 6 can collide with the bottom surface of the bracket 4. Thereby, the bracket 4 can be deformed with the end 4R of the bracket 4 as a fulcrum. Alternatively, even when the above-described collision accident occurs, even if the glove box 6 is moved upward U, the glove box 6 can collide with the inclined surface 41 of the bracket 4. Thereby, the glove box 6 can be moved away from the emergency call device 5 along the inclined surface 41, or the inclined surface 41 can be deformed upward U. As a result, the impact of the glove box 6 on the emergency call device 5 can be reduced.

  In addition, the said embodiment is only the illustration of embodiment which concerns on this invention, and is not the meaning which limits this invention to the said embodiment.

  For example, the bracket 4 may be formed such that both ends 4R, 4L in the vehicle width direction of the bracket 4 are outside the glove box 6 than both ends 6R, 6L in the vehicle width direction of the glove box 6 in the vehicle width direction. . That is, the bracket 4 may be formed such that the length (width) of the bracket 4 in the vehicle width direction is larger (wider) than the length (width) of the glove box 6 in the vehicle width direction. Accordingly, the instrument panel member 2 is supported at a position on the outer side of the glove box 6 with respect to the right end R of the glove box 6 in the vehicle width direction, that is, a position on the right side of the end 6R. A bracket 24 may be provided.

  For example, the bracket 4 is deployed by attaching a support bracket extending rearward B to the right side surface of the airbag device 3 in the vehicle width direction and supporting the end 4R of the bracket 4 by the support bracket. You may make it arrange | position in the internal space 1S between the area | region 34 and the instrument panel member 2. FIG.

  The bracket 4 may not have the inclined surface 41, and both ends 4R and 4L in the vehicle width direction of the bracket 4 may be supported by support brackets attached to the instrument panel member 2.

  The bracket 4 may have an inclined surface similar to the inclined surface 41 at both ends 4L and 4R in the vehicle width direction, and the bottom surface of the bracket 4 may be supported by a support bracket attached to the instrument panel member 2.

  The speaker 7 may be disposed on the instrument panel 1L in the front F of the driver seat DS or the instrument panel 1R in the front F of the passenger seat PS.

  For example, by arranging only a partial region on the right R side of the bottom surface of the emergency call device 5 on the bracket 4, the end portion 4L on the speaker 7 side in the vehicle width direction of the bracket 4 is in the vehicle width direction. You may arrange | position the emergency call apparatus 5 on the bracket 4 so that it may not become the speaker 7 side rather than the connection part 51. FIG.

  The emergency call device 5 may include the connection portion 51 of the harness 71 at the front F-side end of the vehicle or the rear B-side end of the vehicle.

  For example, the bracket 4 is formed such that the length (width) of the bracket 4 in the vehicle width direction is smaller (narrower) than the length (width) of the glove box 6 in the vehicle width direction, and is attached to the instrument panel member 2. By supporting the bottom surface of the bracket 4 by the support bracket 24, both ends 4R, 4L of the bracket 4 in the vehicle width direction are closer to the glove box 6 than both ends 6R, 6L of the glove box 6 in the vehicle width direction. You may arrange | position the bracket 4 so that it may become an inner side.

  For example, the emergency notification device 5 is supported by the instrument panel member 2 via the support bracket 24 without providing the bracket 4 by supporting the upper F or lower B surface of the emergency notification device 5 with the support bracket 24. You may be made to do.

  For example, a support bracket extending to the rear B is attached to the right side surface of the airbag device 3 in the vehicle width direction, and the right R end portion 5R of the emergency call device 5 is supported by the support bracket. The emergency call device 5 may be disposed in the internal space 1S between the airbag deployment region 34 and the instrument panel member 2 by supporting the emergency call device 5 by a member other than the instrument panel member 2.
