Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle body structure includes a bumper beam extending in a left-right direction, and left and right side members functioning as a frame member supporting both ends of the bumper beam. The bumper beam includes a connecting member that connects the both ends to suppress the extension between the both ends.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle body structure comprising a beam member extending in a predetermined direction, and a frame member supporting each of a plurality of places of the beam member, wherein the beam member includes a connecting member that connects the plurality of places to suppress extension between the places, a portion, of the connecting member, between the plurality of places is disposed with a gap from the beam member, and a part of the connecting member between the plurality of places is offset toward the beam member. 2. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting member is disposed between the places of the beam member and the frame member. 3. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting member includes a plurality of fixing parts that are fixed to the plurality of places, respectively, and a crosslinking part that crosslinks between the fixing parts, and a length of each fixing part is longer than the beam member and the crosslinking part in a direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction. 4. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the frame member includes a side member extending in a direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction, with a space in the predetermined direction, and the beam member is fixed to the side member through the connecting member. 5. A vehicle body structure comprising a beam member extending in a predetermined direction, and a frame member supporting each of a plurality of places of the beam member, wherein the beam member includes a connecting member that connects the plurality of places to suppress extension between the places, the connecting member includes a plurality of fixing parts that are fixed to the plurality of places, respectively, and a crosslinking part that crosslinks between the fixing parts, and a length of each fixing part is longer than the beam member and the crosslinking part in a direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction.
