and constitute a closed section. The lower end of the pillar outer 1a is shaped like a bag and closes the front end of a sill outer, which will be described later. Reference numeral 2 denotes a side sill joined to the front pillar 1, and a sill inner 2a and a sill outer 2b form a closed cross section. The front side part of the sill inner 2a is joined to the outside of the dartshi side panel 1b, and the front end projects further forward than the front pillar 1, and the front end is butted and joined to the darth lower panel 10, so that the darth lower panel 10, The front end portion is closed off by the darts side panel 1b. The sill outer 2b is fitted and joined to the inside of the pillar outer 1a, and is closed by a bag-shaped portion at the lower end of the pillar outer 1a.

This lower end is fixed with a screw 5 to the lower surface of the bag-shaped portion at the lower end of the pillar outer 1a, and a screw 6 is fixed to the lower end of the pillar outer 1a via a bracket 4 protruding from the rear edge of the lower end.

大することができる。 By the way, in the case of automobiles, it is required to enlarge the opening area of the vehicle body in order to improve the ease of getting on and off the vehicle, but it is difficult to enlarge the opening area of the vehicle body within the limited overall length of the vehicle body. Therefore, in response to such a request, we considered tilting the lower part of the front pillar 1 forward as shown by the chain line in Figure 1, and moving the set position of the front pillar 1 forward without changing the wheelbase. It will be done. By moving the front pillar 1 forward in this manner, the area of the opening of the vehicle body can be increased, and the living space of the vehicle interior can be expanded.

面剛性が著しく低下してしまう問題を生じる。 However, in the conventional structure, when the front pillar 1 is moved forward as shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, the front fender 3
Since the front fender 3 is formed with an arch portion 3a that forms the outer contour of the wheel house,
The width of the rear lower side of the body has been reduced from l 1 to l 2 , and
Since the lower rear end of the fender extends over the front end of the side sill 2, a problem arises in that the surface rigidity of the lower rear part of the fender is significantly reduced.

とするものである。 In view of such problems, the present invention suppresses the decrease in surface rigidity of the rear lower side part of the fender as much as possible, and enables forward movement of the setting position of the front pillar.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle body front structure that can realize an enlargement of the vehicle body opening area and an enlargement of the passenger cabin space.

る。 In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the sill outer is disposed outside the front pillar outer, and its front end extends on an extension of the arch portion forming the outer contour of the wheel house at the lower rear part of the front fender. On the other hand, the lower end of the front fender is aligned with the upper shelf of the sill outer, and the front and rear edges of the lower end of the fender are screwed to the front end flange of the sill outer extension and the pillar outer at the same height position.

る。 That is, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the sill outer 2b of the side sill 2 is arranged outside the pillar outer 1a of the front pillar 1, and the front end of the sill outer 2b is placed under the rear of the front fender 3. It extends on the extension of the side arch portion 3a, and a flange 2c is bent inward at the front end of the extended portion. On the other hand, the lower end of the rear lower side of the front fender 3 is aligned with the upper shelf 2d of the sill outer 2b, and brackets 3b and 3c are provided protruding from the front and rear edges of this lower end, respectively, and the bracket 3c is connected to the sill outer 2b. At the same time, the screw 5 is fixed to the front end flange 2c of the extending portion of the sill outer 2b, and the bracket 3c is attached to the upper flange 2e of the sill outer 2b.
Screws 6 are fixed to the pillar outer 1a with the lower end front and rear edges aligned at the same height.

回避できるのである。 According to the structure of this embodiment, the lower side of the front pillar 1 is tilted forward as shown in the fourth figure, and the setting position of the front pillar 1 is moved forward to reduce the area of the opening of the vehicle body and the living space of the vehicle interior. When attempting to enlarge the front fender 3, the panel width at the rear lower side portion is reduced, but the length of the rear lower side portion is shortened by aligning its lower end with the upper shelf portion 2d of the sill outer 2b. Since the span between the screw fixing part on the lower side and the screw fixing part of the hood ledge (not shown) can be shortened, the decrease in surface rigidity due to reduction in panel width can be kept to a minimum. In addition, since the screws 5 and 6 on the front and rear edges of the rear lower side of the front fender 3 are aligned at the same height, the torsional rigidity can be reduced even though the panel width has been reduced. Therefore, it is possible to keep it as small as possible. Since the front end of the sill outer 2b extends to the extension of the arch 3a on the rear lower side of the front fender 3, it is possible to avoid creating an unnatural appearance.

の効果は多大である。 As described above, according to the present invention, the length of the lower rear part of the front fender is shortened, and the span between the screw fixing part at the lower end of the fender and the screw fixing part at the upper edge of the fender is shortened. Since the front and rear edge screw fixing parts of the lower end of the fender are at the same height, the surface rigidity and torsional rigidity of the panel can be further increased. For this reason, even if the front pillar setting position is moved forward to expand the vehicle body opening area and the panel width at the lower rear of the fender is reduced accordingly, the surface rigidity and torsional rigidity of the front pillar will be reduced. This has the advantage that the decrease in quality can be minimized as much as possible, and that it is possible to avoid easily causing stickiness and impairing the sense of quality and reliability. In addition, since the sill outer is arranged outside the pillar outer and its front end extends on the extension of the arch part of the rear lower side of the fender, the appearance feels strange due to the shortening of the rear lower side of the fender. It has great practical effects, such as being able to avoid the occurrence of.
