た。2. Description of the Related Art A cowl side member such as a hood ridge, a cowl side panel, a dash upper panel, and a hood ridge reinforce are provided on both left and right sides of a front portion of a vehicle body with a closed cross section having a rectangular cross section along the vehicle longitudinal direction. (Refer to Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-12878 as a similar technique). It is known that a closed section of this type can efficiently absorb energy by deforming so as to break when receiving a load from the front end. Therefore, conventionally, in order to obtain a stable bending deformation mode of the closed cross-section, a bead portion for promoting the bending is provided at a predetermined position of the closed cross-section.

体の成形が困難になっている。However, in such a conventional technique, although a bead portion for promoting the folding is provided in the closed cross section, the angle at which a load is applied,
Due to factors such as the structure around the closed cross section, the closed cross section may be broken from a portion other than the bead portion. When the closed cross section is broken at a portion other than the bead portion, the degree of bending is inevitably small, and sufficient energy absorption may not be performed. Therefore, conventionally, as a countermeasure for that, to increase the depth of the bead to ensure that the bead breaks,
It is necessary to provide a plurality of bead portions, and it is difficult to form the closed section itself.

Even if a bead portion is not particularly deeply formed or a large number of bead portions are formed, when a load is applied, a closed cross-section portion is formed. Provide a vehicle body structure that can be reliably broken from a bead portion.

折れが更に促進される。According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since the front and rear positions of the embossed portion and the bead portion coincide with each other, the folding of the closed cross-section portion is further promoted.

持することができる。According to the eighth aspect of the invention, while the outer surface of the rearmost end in the closed cross section is offset in the vehicle width direction with respect to the outer surface of the general portion, the outer surface of the inner side located on the inner side is offset. Since the ridge line portion and the ridge line portion of the outer surface located on the outer side are respectively linearly continuous with the corresponding ridge line portion of the chamfered portion in plan view, a decrease in strength at the chamfered portion is prevented, and It is possible to maintain the original function of the chamfered portion which promotes bending at the portion.
