Patent number: 5829824Abstract: A rear body structure of a vehicle is disclosed which comprises a pair of right and left rear wheel houses and a reinforcing cross member extending between the rear wheel houses, wherein the cross member is comprised of a lower cross member located below a floor panel of the vehicle and an upper cross member located above the floor panel, and wherein the lower cross member, the floor panel and the upper cross member are weld connected together. As a result, the rigidity of the cross member is increased, whereby drumming arising from the vibrations transmitted from suspensions to areas about a bulkhead of the rear body structure may be avoided, and the time required for luggage loading and unloading operations with respect to a luggage compartment may be shortened. Since the upper cross member is designed to have a small height, it also becomes possible to load long articles spanning from the luggage compartment to a rear part of a passenger compartment.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1996Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shiro Yamamuro, Kimihito Hayakawa, Yuta Urushiyama, Nobuo Aizawa
