Abstract

A door structure includes an outer panel and an inner panel. The inner panel is formed from a panel inner member located on an inner side of a vehicle interior and a panel outer member located on an outer side of the vehicle interior. A sealing member which comes into contact with an A pillar serving as a body side member and isolates the inner side of the vehicle interior from the outer side of the vehicle interior is attached to the panel inner member at an overlap portion serving as a junction between the panel outer member and the panel inner member.

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a door structure.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] A configuration to arrange a structural reinforcement panel between a substantially flat metal panel located on an outer side of a vehicle interior and a substantially U-shaped metal panel located on an inner side of the vehicle interior has heretofore been known as a conventional door structure (see Patent Literature 1, for example).

[0005] According to this door structure, it is possible to reduce thicknesses of the respective inner and outer metal panels, thereby reducing a weight of a door and saving material costs.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Next, a door structure of a mode for carrying out the present invention (this embodiment) will be described in detail.

[0020]FIG. 1 is a side view of a side door 2 on a right side of a vehicle applying a door structure 1 of this embodiment, which is viewed from an inner side of a vehicle interior. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the side door 2 applying the door structure 1 of this embodiment. Note that front, rear, upper, lower, right, and left directions in this embodiment coincide with front, rear, upper, lower, right, and left directions of the vehicle.

[0021]In the following, a description will be given only of the door structure 1 applied to the side door 2 on the right side of the vehicle while omitting a description of a door structure to be applied to a side door 2 on the left side of the vehicle which has a structure symmetric to the aforementioned structure with respect to a center axis of the vehicle.

[0022]Although illustration is omitted, the side door 2 s...
