Body component

Abstract

A body component for a vehicle is provided. The body component for a vehicle includes an annular portion having a hollow portion and being formed in an annular shape in a cross section orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the body component. The hollow portion is set so that a neutral axis of an expected bending direction of the body component passes through the hollow portion in the cross section. The annular portion includes passing portions that the neutral axis passes through and that are located so as to face each other across the hollow portion, and distancing portions that are distanced from the neutral axis and that are located so as to face each other across the hollow portion. Each of the distancing portions includes a thickened portion that is thicker than the passing portions.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
