Title:
VEHICLE BODY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/205725
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The outer surface of a side outer panel (25) of a vehicle body is formed by a center pillar (26) and a side sill (27). The outer panel has a first ridge (29) that demarcates an opening for a front side door, a second ridge (32) that demarcates an opening for a rear side door, a base part (52) that enters the side sill from the center pillar, bulges from the outer surface, and forms a front ridge (48) that extends along the first ridge of the center pillar and crosses an upper edge (47) of the side sill and a rear ridge (51) that extends along the second ridge of the center pillar and crosses an upper edge (49) of the side sill, a front side sill part (25b) that extends in the front-rear direction in front of the base part and forms a first groove (55) between itself and the base part, and a rear side sill part (25c) that extends in the front-rear direction behind the base part and forms a second groove (57) between itself and the base part. The present invention thereby provides a vehicle body that allows for variety in the design of a side sill but can suppress (prevent) visible deformation of the side sill.
