Abstract

The invention provides a floor panel which can reduce a material cost and achieve a weight saving, by easily carrying out a press drawing process. In a floor panel in which an upper member and a lower member are joined in their peripheral edge portions and an internal space is formed in an inner portion of the floor panel, an opening portion intruding approximately as a rectangular shape into an inner side of the floor panel is formed in a side plate portion of each of the upper member and the lower member, and a shape of the opening portion is formed as such a curved shape that two internal corner portions intrude into the inner side of the floor panel than the other approximately linear portions than the internal corner portions, in a whole or a part of a horizontal cross section.

Claims (16)

1. A floor panel comprising an upper member and a lower member which are formed as opened box shape having a concave space,

wherein the peripheral edge portions are connected so as to communicate the concave spaces in said upper member and said lower member with each other, and an internal space is formed in the inner portion thereof,

wherein a notched portion intruding approximately as a rectangular shape with two inner corners which extend into an inner side of said floor panel is formed in a peripheral edge and side plate portion of each of said upper member and said lower member,

wherein a step receiving surface having a step in relation to the upper surface of the floor panel is formed in said upper member so as to be along three edge portions of said notched portion,

wherein the two internal corner portions of said rectangular notched portion formed in the upper member intrude into the inner side of said floor panel, in a horizontal cross section below the step receiving surface, and

wherein the two internal corner portions of said rectangular notched portion formed in the lower member intrude into the inner side of said floor panel, in a horizontal cross section above a bottom surface of the floor panel.

2. The floor panel according to claim 1 , wherein the peripheral edge of the rectangular shaped notched portion formed when the upper and lower members are joined together, and

wherein a lower surface of the protruding portion in said upper member and an upper surface of the protruding portion in said lower member are joined to each other.

3. The floor panel according to claim 1 , wherein a reinforcing member is provided in said internal space which is formed between said upper member and said lower member.

4. The floor panel according to claim 2 , wherein a reinforcing member is provided in said internal space which is formed between said upper member and said lower member.

5. The floor panel according to claim 1 , wherein the two internal corner portions of said rectangular notched portion formed in the upper member is configured to intrude into the inner side of said floor panel, in a horizontal cross section below the step receiving surface, and a center portion between the two internal corner portions is configured to protrude toward an outer side of said floor panel, and

wherein the two internal corner portions of said rectangular notched portion formed in the lower member is configured to intrude into the inner side of said floor panel, and a center portion between the two internal corner portions is configured to protrude toward an outer side of said floor pane, in a horizontal cross section above a bottom surface of the floor panel.

6. The floor panel according to claim 5 , wherein portions protruding in a horizontal direction three edge portions of said rectangular shaped notched portion, in contact portions between a lower surface of said upper member and an upper surface of said lower member, are formed in said notched portions of said upper member and said lower member, and

wherein a lower surface of the protruding portion in said upper member and an upper surface of the protruding portion in said lower member are joined to each other.

7. The floor panel according to claim 5 , wherein a reinforcing member is provided in said internal space which is formed between said upper member and said lower member.

8. The floor panel according to claim 6 , wherein a reinforcing member is provided in said internal space which is formed between said upper member and said lower member.
