Patent number: 10167021Abstract: A vehicular resin panel structure is provided including a resin inner panel formed in a polygonal shape including a first edge portion, a second edge portion, and an angular portion, and fixed to a vehicle body at plural fixing points including a first fixing point and a second fixing point. The resin inner panel is further provided with a first rib further to an in-plane direction outer side of the resin inner panel than an imaginary line connecting the first fixing point and the second fixing point, and running along a direction intersecting the imaginary line. The first rib runs along a direction intersecting the imaginary line. The vehicular resin panel structure includes a resin outer panel including an outer end portion overlapping with the inner panel adhered to an inner end portion of the inner panel, and having a larger linear expansion coefficient than that of the inner panel.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Atsuhiko Murakami, Junya Kato
