Abstract

Disclosed is an upper vehicle body structure (20) having a groove (31) between an outside panel (28) and a roof panel (24). The upper end of a center pillar stiffener (34) overlaps with a roof side stiffener (41). The roof side stiffener (41) is joined to a roof arch (23) at the groove (31). The upper end of a center pillar reinforcing member (33) inside the center pillar stiffener (34) is joined to an end (25b) of a corner gusset (25) at a position below the grooves (31), the other end (25a) of the corner gusset being connected to the roof arch (23). With this, concentration of impact load to the corner gusset (25) can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an upper body structure, which is a structure of a connection portion between a center pillar and a roof side rail of a vehicle, and improves the rigidity and strength of the vehicle body against loads caused by side collisions (side collisions) of the vehicle. Background technique [0002] In general, there is known an upper vehicle body structure in which a reinforcing member is provided at a connecting portion between a center pillar and a roof side rail. Such an upper vehicle body structure is appropriately designed so that predetermined vehicle body rigidity and strength can be ensured against side impact loads. As such an upper vehicle body structure, a configuration in which a gusset is provided between a center pillar and a roof reinforcement (roof side reinforcement) is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] The upper body structure of Patent Document 1 includes: a center pillar composed of ...
