Abstract:
1. A vehicle rear tray structure comprising: a rear tray separating a vehicle room and a trunk from each other and integrally forming a closed section part with a substantially recess-shaped plate body extending in a width direction of a vehicle, and a connecting member of limited width with respect to a width of the tray connecting opposed corners of the inside of the closed section part, wherein the closed section part is formed by connecting two end portions of the substantially recess-shaped plate body to the rear tray, wherein the connecting member connects the two end portions while being held between the rear tray and the plate body and is disposed substantially in a central portion of the vehicle in the width direction of the vehicle, wherein the rear tray is comprised of a thick-metal plate member and the connecting member is comprised of a thin-metal plate member formed in a band shape, wherein the connecting member has a thickness less than a thickness of the rear tray, and wherein the connecting member can withstand a tensile force caused by a load impact to the rear tray thereby restricting deformation to the closed section part.
