Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A structural part includes a part body and a cylindrical bush. The part body includes a through-hole and a cylindrical flange part provided in the periphery of the through-hole. The bush is inserted into the through-hole and the flange part. When seen in a cross section including a central axis of the bush, the flange part has a height difference between a first part that contacts the bush on one side in a direction perpendicular to the central axis and a second part that contacts the bush on the other side.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A structural part for an automobile, comprising: a part body including a through-hole and a cylindrical flange part provided in a periphery of the through-hole; and a cylindrical bush inserted into the through-hole and the flange part that are provided in a top plate of the part body, wherein, when seen in a cross section including a central axis of the bush, the flange part has a height difference between a first part that contacts the bush on one side in a direction perpendicular to the central axis and a second part that contacts the bush on the other side and the top plate has a height difference at least between a region adjacent to the first part and a region adjacent to the second part. 2. The structural part according to claim 1 , wherein, when the height difference between the first part and the second part is x, and a length of the bush in an axial direction is x 0 , x/x 0 is 0.10 or more. 3. The structural part according to claim 2 , wherein x/x 0 is 0.25 or more.
