PURPOSE:To improve the fitting strength by utilizing the lock reinforce supporting a lock unit to fit a tie down hook support section in the above mentioned structure used when a vehicle is mounted and fixed on a train and the like. CONSTITUTION:The rear end of a spare tire storage section 2 formed in the rear center of the rear floor panel 1 of a car is spot-welded on a rear end panel 3 through a rising flange 10, and a bracket B for fitting a tie down hook H is fitted to the lower rear of this highly rigid tire storage section 2. The bracket B is formed with a nearly channel-like hook fitting section 13 protruding below a car body and an extension section 14 extended upward from its rear end. The extension section 14 is coupled with the lower end section of the lock reinforce 4 supporting the latch mechanism of a lock unit, and the hook H is welded on the fitting section 13 of this bracket B. |
