ABSTRACT:
An improved protective beam for automobile side door is disclosed, with a main body which includes a pair of elongate steel sheet members of corrugated cross-section. The steel sheet members are welded to each other along opposite groove portions such that a hollow space of box-like section is defined by each pair of opposite ridge portions of the steel sheet members. At least one steel sheet member has an end region as a mounting seat, where the beam is welded to the inner panel or pillar portion of the side door, and each ridge portion along the end region of the steel sheet member has a height which gradually decreases toward the end of the sheet member to form a generally flat mounting seat to be secured to a predetermined location of the side door.
