DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION a. The present invention relates to a drainage structure for draining water accumulated in a door pocket to the outside of a vehicle.

b. Prior Art Conventionally, door pockets 51 for storing small items have been attached to the inner surfaces of side doors and back doors of automobiles, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 1O. The door pocket 51 includes a storage chamber 52 and is fastened to a door inner panel 54 and a trim board 55 with screws 53 or the like. By the way, the door pocket 51 is used to store various small items, and some users may put wet umbrellas or the like therein. For this reason, door pocket 5
A drain port 56 is provided on the bottom surface Sla of the vehicle 1, and water droplets accumulated at the bottom of the vehicle are discharged from the drain port 56 to the outside of the vehicle.

C3 Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional drainage structure described above, as shown in FIG. Since the panel 59 and the panel 59 are installed at almost the same position in the direction of the inside of the car, the accumulated water drops can be seen in the door pocket 5 as shown by the arrow.
There was a risk that the liquid could enter the room R side through the bottom of 1 and wet the carpet laid on the floor. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the lower part of the door pocket 51 is extended to form a guide member 60, and the lower end of this guide member 60 is bent and placed on the outside of the vehicle with respect to the joint flange 61 of the rocker panel 58. A structure has been proposed in which water accumulated at the bottom of the door pocket 51 is discharged to the outside of the vehicle. However, in such a structure, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient distance β between the lower part of the door panel 57 and the upper part of the rocker panel 58, so the rocker panel 58 must be moved to the R side of the room from its conventional position. As a result, the leg space for the occupants became narrower, resulting in a loss of comfort. In addition, if the door panel 57 is assembled below the normal position, the door pocket 51 and rocker panel 58 may interfere with each other, so care must be taken during assembly. However, there was a risk that work efficiency would decrease.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a drainage structure for a door pocket that can eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
