Title:
VEHICULAR SIDE STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/168873
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a vehicular side structure including a rocker extending in the vehicle length direction and a shock-absorbing member adjacent to the rocker. The rocker has a hat-shaped cross section and includes a rocker inner panel and a rocker outer panel formed from steel sheets and joined so as to face each other, thereby forming a tubular internal space. The bottom surface of the rocker is formed into a stepped shape such that a lower extended space is formed in the internal space of the rocker. The shock-absorbing member is disposed adjacent to the lower extended space on the inner side in the vehicle width direction, and inside the lower extended space, an elongated load-transmitting member is disposed extending along the rocker and joined to either the rocker inner panel or the rocker outer panel to form a closed cross-sectional portion. A shock load from the outer side in the vehicle width direction is transmitted to the shock-absorbing member through the load-transmitting member.
