Abstract
A vehicular knee protector device is comprised of a protector body and a pair of brackets. Each bracket is constituted by a V-shaped lower bracket and a V-shaped lower bracket. The upper bracket is fixed to the lower bracket so as to form a polygon space which is preferable deformed when predetermined force is applied to the knee protector device. Further, the lower bracket is formed so that a side to be connected to a vehicle body is structurally stronger than a side to be connected to a protector body to which driver's knees are impacted.
