UPPER BODY STRUCTURE OF AUTOMOBILE

摘要

PURPOSE:To eliminate interference between a roll bar and both side walls of a body upon receiving the roll bar, by forming projections on outer side surfaces of the roll bar in such a manner that the projections are located at an upper position of projections provided at upper ends of both the side walls of the body. CONSTITUTION:Both legs 2 and 3 of a roll bar 1 have respective projections 105 obliquely projecting from outer panels 103 outwardly in a transverse direction of a body. Under outer side surfaces 106 of the projections 105, there are formed projections 42 upwardly projecting from belt lines 41 of rear fenders 4. The outer side surfaces 106 and 43 of the projections 105 and 42 form gentle slant curved surfaces substantially continuously extending from the outer side surfaces 106 of both the legs of the roll bar to outer side surfaces 44 of the rear fenders.
