Abstract
Protuberances formed along mutually confronting end faces of an automobile door and a pillar of a body engage with each other or with the confronting end face when the door collides with the pillar during a vehicle collision. The profile of the protuberance has an apex of an acute angle. The effect of the protuberance may be enhanced by installation of reinforcing members inside the pillar and/or the door.
