Abstract
A lower body structure for an automobile is provided in which a tank bracket for supporting a fuel tank N is disposed on the underside of the floor of the cabin compartment rear portion, to which the seat belt anchor is joined. The tank bracket, having a substantially inverse hat-shape cross section, forms a closed cross section together with the floor. At the rear end, a rear edge flange of a side wall is joined to the front face of a floor cross member, and a joint flange that extends from the rear end of a bottom wall is joined to the lower face of the floor cross member, thereby to enhance the joining force to the floor cross member. In the bracket, beads and are formed extending in the width direction of the bracket, so that the beads deform to spread in the front-rear direction, when the vehicle decelerates abruptly and the seat belt load acts, and to absorb the load thereby. As a result, the joint of the seat belt anchor to the floor is not displaced on account of the load.
