Abstract

A vehicular-use door comprising a first panel and a second panel bonded to a panel bonding part of the first panel, wherein the first panel is provided with a plurality of ribs, sticking out from the panel bonding part so as to cross the adhesive coated on the first panel or the second panel, along the coating direction of the adhesive, and each rib is provided with a non-visible part which is bonded to the second panel and which is covered by the second panel and can no longer be viewed from the outside and a visible part which extends from the non-visible part in a direction crossing the adhesive and which is not covered by the second panel and can be viewed from the outside.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vehicular-use door comprising:
a first panel; and
a second panel bonded to a panel bonding part of the first panel,
in which vehicular-use door,
the first panel is provided with a plurality of ribs, sticking out from the panel bonding part so as to cross an adhesive coated on the first panel or the second panel, along the coating direction of the adhesive, and
each rib is provided with:
a non-visible part which is bonded to the second panel and which is covered by the second panel and can no longer be viewed from the outside; and
a visible part which extends from the non-visible part in a direction crossing the adhesive and which is not covered by the second panel and can be viewed from the outside.

2. The vehicular-use door according to claim 1 , wherein
the first panel is provided with a wall-shaped flange sticking out from the panel bonding part so as to extend in parallel to the coating direction of the adhesive, and
an end part of each rib at the visible part side abuts against the flange.

3. The vehicular-use door according to claim 1 , wherein
the first panel is an inner panel arranged at an inside of a vehicle compartment,
the second panel is an outer panel arranged at an outside of a vehicle compartment,
the panel bonding part is a peripheral edge part of a window-use opening formed at the inner panel, and
