Body structure of vehicle

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve the assembling workability while to reduce the cost by fixing a through-ring to the extended portion of a bracket secured to a center pillar for the purpose to support the foot section of a tiltable pillar thereby reinforcing the thorugh-ring effectively without requiring independent reinforcing member. CONSTITUTION:In an open-top type vehicle, a bracket 21 is secured to a center pillar 20 for the purpose to support the foot section of a tiltable pillar 4. A through-ring 23 for supporting the intermediate section of a seatbelt 22 is fixed to the section 21a of the bracket 21 extending above the center pillar 20. Consequently, the through-ring fixing section of the center pillar 20 can be reinforced effectively by the entity of the bracket 21 without requiring special reinforcing member, resulting in reduction of the number of parts, facilitation of assembling work and cost reduction.
