  • Patent number: 9908561
    Abstract: Each rear pillar (4) includes a rear pillar inner panel (33) and a rear pillar reinforcement (34). The rear pillar inner panel (33) and the rear pillar reinforcement (34) each include a substantially L-shaped corner portion (C1, C2) raised toward the rear pillar inner panel (33), and a ridge portion (X1, X2). The corner portions (C1, C2) are arranged next to each other in the direction toward a reinforcement (50), and an L-shaped closed cross section (40) is formed between the corner portions (C1, C2). The reinforcement (50) is, not via the closed cross section, directly connected to the corner portions (C1, C2). An upper portion of the L-shaped closed cross section (40) is connected to a closed rear header cross section (19).

  • Patent number: 9409605
    Abstract: A structure is configured such that a viewer hardly feels strangeness of color tone or texture even when paint mist is attached to a center pillar 3 during coating of a body outer plate. A panel surface of an outer panel 35 of the center pillar 3 has a protrusion in a middle in the vehicle vertical direction such that at least part of a lower portion of the panel surface projects toward the outside of the vehicle body relative to an upper portion of the panel surface. A start end HL of the protrusion is located at substantially an identical height to a door body upper edge line UL in at least a center portion in a pillar width of the pillar outer panel.
