ABSTRACT:
A frame structure for a vehicle body which has a first frame member having a web portion and flanges, which stand from opposite ends of the web portion, a second frame member having a web portion and flanges which stands from opposite ends of the web portion, and a reinforcement having a web portion and flanges, which stands from opposite ends of the web portion. The reinforcement is inserted within the first frame member, and the web portion of the reinforcement is in contact with the web portion of the first frame member. The flanges of the reinforcement are in contact with the flanges of the first frame member, and the edges of the flanges of the second frame member strike against the edges of the flanges of the reinforcement. The flanges of the reinforcement have upper portions and lower portions. The edges of the flanges of the second frame member strike against the edges of the upper portions, and the lower portions of the reinforcement are welded to the flanges of the first frame member. Thus, if the strength required for the frame structure is constant, the thickness of the outer and inner channels can be reduced because of the disposition of the reinforcement.
