The front seat 12 is a so-called bench seat in which a driver's seat and a passenger seat are integrated, and includes a seat cushion portion 12a and a seat back portion 12b. The seat cushion portion 12a includes a pair of left and right seat sliders 2
It is attached to the floor panel 11 via 1, 21 and the front and rear positions thereof are adjustable. A lower end of a seat back 12b is connected to a rear end of the seat cushion portion 12a, and the seat back portion 12b is configured by arranging a rectangular seat frame 14 on a peripheral portion thereof. As shown in FIG. 3, the seat back portion 12b is provided therein with a second reinforcing member 15 extending over the entire vehicle width direction. The second reinforcing member 15 is the first reinforcing member 7 of each of the left and right front doors 2, 2.
a, 7b and the armrest 8 are located at substantially the same height position, and both end portions thereof are fixed to the seat frame 14, respectively, and the end portion of the second reinforcing member 15 and the inner panel 5 side of each front door 2 are provided. The first reinforcing member 7a is continuous with the armrest 8 interposed therebetween.

Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, when a side collision occurs on either of the left and right front doors 2, 2, the load applied to the front door 2 on the collision side is simply the front door 2 and its surroundings as in the conventional case. Not only is it supported by the side surface of the vehicle body 1 but also from the first reinforcing member 7a in the front door 2 (door panel 3) at the time of a collision to the second reinforcing member 15 on the seat back portion 12b side of the front seat 12 via the armrest 8. The power is transmitted to the floor panel 11 and the front door 2 on the side opposite to the collision side through the front seat 12 in a widely dispersed manner, and the first and second reinforcing members 7a, 1 are provided.
Since it is strongly supported by the projecting support structure such as 5, the vehicle body rigidity against the side collision at the front door 2 is remarkably enhanced. Therefore, even if the side collision at the front door 2 is considerably severe, the front door 2 at the time of collision can be sufficiently prevented from entering the vehicle interior, and the safety of the occupant can be ensured.

Further, since the first reinforcing member 7a is attached to the inside of the door panel 3 of the front door 2 corresponding to the armrest 8, the attaching strength of the armrest 8 and thus the rigidity thereof can be increased by the first reinforcing member 7a. . Further, since the front door 2 is provided apart from the side edge of the seat back portion 12b of the front seat 12 in a region other than the armrest 8, the passenger compartment feels wide.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the vehicle body structure of the present invention, the collision load at the time of a side collision is applied to the seat side from the first reinforcing member in the vehicle interior side wall panel on the side of the collision through the armrest portion. It is transmitted to the second reinforcing member, is widely dispersed and transmitted to the floor portion and the like through the seat, and is firmly supported by the projecting support structure of the second reinforcing member and the like, so that the rigidity of the vehicle body against a side collision is significantly increased. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the door panel and the like forming the side wall of the passenger compartment on the collision side from entering the passenger compartment, and enhance the safety of the occupant.
Moreover, the effective space in the vehicle compartment is not narrowed by the second reinforcing member, and the portion other than the armrest portion of the vehicle compartment side wall is provided apart from the side edge of the seat, so that the vehicle compartment space is wide for the occupant. It will be felt. Further, the first reinforcing member also has the effect of increasing the rigidity of the armrest portion, which is very advantageous for implementation.
