STRUCTURE AGAINST SIDE IMPACT

摘要

A STRUCTURE AGAINST A SIDE IMPACT INCLUDES A SIDE WALL OF A VEHICLE BODY (1), A SEATBACK FRAME (19), AND A LOAD RECEIVING MEMBER (25) DISPOSED ON THE SEATBACK FRAME (19) TO CONTACT WITH THE SIDE WALL OF THE VEHICLE BODY (1) AND TO RECEIVE AN IMPACT LOAD WHEN THE SIDE WALL OF THE VEHICLE BODY (1) IS MOVED TOWARD A VEHICLE CABIN (39) BY A SIDE IMPACT. STRENGTH OF AN UPPER AREA (Y) OF THE SIDE WALL OF THE VEHICLE BODY (1) IS MADE HIGHER THAN STRENGTH OF A LOWER AREA (X) OF THE SIDE WALL OF THE VEHICLE BODY (1). AN UPPER END OF THE UPPER AREA (Y) IS LOCATED LATERAL TO THE LOAD RECEIVING MEMBER (25). ACCORDING TO THE STRUCTURE AGAINST A SIDE IMPACT, INTRUSION OF THE SIDE WALL OF THE VEHICLE BODY (1) CAN BE SUPPRESSED IN CONSIDERATION OF AN INTRUSION MODE OF THE SIDE WALL OF THE VEHICLE BODY (1) TO AN INSIDE OF A VEHICLE.
