PILLAR STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE

To achieve reduction in the width of each of a pair of skeleton members in such a configuration that a transparent member is bridged between the skeleton members.SOLUTION: A pillar structure 10 for a vehicle is structured so that a pillar glass 20 as a transparent member is bridged between a first skeleton member 16 and a second skeleton member 18 extending in the lengthwise direction of an A pillar 14 in a vehicle. The first skeleton member 16 and the second skeleton member 18 are each formed into a cylindrical shape without any seam in section and the pillar glass 20 is joined to transparent member joining surfaces 32 and 42 in a plane shape included in the skeleton members 16 and 18 respectively. Therefore, a flange required to weld two planar members for formation of the skeleton member or a flange required to join the pillar glass 20 is not necessary. Thus, the width of each of the skeleton members 16 and 18 can be reduced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】一対の骨格部材間に透明部材が架け渡された構成において、骨格部材の幅を細くする。【解決手段】自動車用ピラー構造１０では、自動車のＡピラー１４の長手方向に延在する第１骨格部材１６と第２骨格部材１８との間に、透明部材としてのピラーガラス２０が架け渡されている。第１骨格部材１６及び第２骨格部材１８は、断面に継目が無い筒状をなしており、各骨格部材１６、１８に含まれる平面状の透明部材結合面３２、４２にピラーガラス２０が結合されている。このため、２枚の板材を溶接して骨格部材を形成する場合のフランジや、ピラーガラス２０を結合するためのフランジが必要ない。これにより、各骨格部材１６、１８の幅を細くすることができる。【選択図】図２
