In the above-mentioned conventional hollow structural member, a plurality of reinforcing plates 212 which are respectively orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the hollow chamber, and the plurality of reinforcing plates 212 are arranged at predetermined intervals. The reinforcing member 211 constituted by the connection piece 213 that keeps and connects
The connecting piece 213 has a structure that is easily deformed. For this reason, there is a problem that the reinforcement of the hollow structure is weakened in the direction in which the connecting piece 213 bends. Also,
If the distance between the reinforcing plates 212 is reduced and the connecting pieces 213 are shortened by that amount, the connecting pieces 213 are less likely to bend. However, when the interval between the reinforcing plates 212 is reduced and the number of the reinforcing plates 212 is increased, a large amount of synthetic resin material is required, which increases the cost. Furthermore, if the interval between the reinforcing plates 212 is reduced, it may be difficult to remove the reinforcing member from the mold.
