Abstract

A load transmission member includes an outside load transmission member attached to one face of a panel member; an inside load transmission member attached to a position corresponding to the outside load transmission member at the other face of the panel member, and a temporary attachment device provided on at least one of the outside load transmission member or the inside load transmission member for temporarily attaching to the panel member. A load is transmitted through the panel member from the outside load transmission member to the inside load transmission member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A load transmission member, comprising:
a panel member; a first load transmission member attached to one face of the panel member; a second load transmission member attached to another face of the panel member at a position corresponding to the first load transmission member so that a load from the first load transmission member is transmitted through the panel member to the second load transmission member; and a temporary attachment device provided on at least one of the first load transmission member or the second load transmission member for temporarily attaching to the panel member.

2 . A load transmission member according to claim 1 , wherein the temporary attachment device includes a hooking portion hooked on a hooked portion provided in the panel member.

3 . A load transmission member according to claim 1 , wherein the temporary attachment device includes a claw portion engaging with a marginal portion of an engagement hole provided in the panel member.

4 . A load transmission member according to claim 1 , further comprising an engagement device engaging the first load transmission member with the second load transmission member in a state of sandwiching the panel member.

5 . A load transmission member according to claim 4 , wherein the engagement device comprises a fastener for fastening the first load transmission member and the second load transmission member in a state of sandwiching the panel member by passing through an attachment hole provided in the panel member and attaching the first load transmission member and the second load transmission member to the panel member; and insertion holes respectively provided in the first load transmission member and the second load transmission member, into which the fastener is inserted.

6 . A load transmission member according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of the first load transmission member or the second load transmission member includes a positioning protrusion inserted into the attachment hole at a marginal portion of the insertion hole.

7 . A load transmission member according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first load transmission member or the second load transmission member includes a handle portion.

8 . A load transmission member according to claim 1 , wherein the panel member is an inner panel for an automobile door, the first load transmission member is attached to an outside of the inner panel of an auto body, and the second load transmission member is attached to an inside of the inner panel.
