The reinforcing body 12 is housed to the outwardly directed flanges 7, 8 across the seam-welded portions 9. A part 26 of the inner surface of the reinforcing body 12 is separated from the seam-welded portions 9, and the other part 27 of the inner surface of the reinforcing body 12 is pressed against each outer surface on the protruded end side 13 of the outwardly directed flanges 7, 8 and on the base part side 28 from the seam-welded portions 9 at the outwardly directed flanges 7, 8. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
