Abstract
A skeletal structure is provided that includes a panel, and a frame joined to a front surface side of the panel. The frame includes a plurality of first frames oriented in a fixed direction and a second frame oriented in a direction orthogonal to the plurality of first frames, and each of the plurality of first frames and the second frame are formed to have an open cross-sectional shape. An end portion of each first frame of the plurality of first frames is joined to the second frame in an overlapping state.

A skeletal structure comprising:
- a panel;
- a frame joined to a front surface side of the panel, the frame including a plurality of first frames oriented in a fixed direction and a second frame oriented in a direction orthogonal to the plurality of first frames, each of the plurality of first frames and the second frame is formed to have an open cross-sectional shape, wherein:
- an end portion of each first frame of the plurality of first frames is joined to the second frame in an overlapping state,
- each of the plurality of first frames and the second frame includes an opposing wall facing the panel and a pair of side walls extending from both side portions of the opposing wall toward the panel, and
- a panel-side opposing surface of the opposing wall of each first frame of the plurality of first frames is joined to the second frame that is arranged inside a notch formed in the pair of side walls at the end portion of each first frame.
A method of manufacturing a skeletal structure, the method comprising joining:
- (i) a frame to a front surface side of a panel, the frame including a plurality of first frames oriented in a fixed direction and a second frame oriented in a direction orthogonal to the plurality of first frames, each of the plurality of first frames and the second frame are formed to have an open cross-sectional shape, and
- (ii) an end portion of each first frame of the plurality of first frames is joined to the second frame in an overlapping state,
- each of the plurality of first frames and the second frame includes an opposing wall facing the panel and a pair of side walls extending from both side portions of the opposing wall toward the panel, and
- a panel-side opposing surface of the opposing wall of each first frame of the plurality of first frames is joined to the second frame that is arranged inside a notch formed in the pair of side walls at the end portion of each first frame.
