Abstract
A nut member, which is arranged in a pillar panel and to which a bolt for supporting a seat belt anchor plate is fixed, comprises a nut main body to which the bolt is fixed and a nut holder supported to the pillar panel to hold the nut main body. The nut holder has a holder portion formed to support a tensile load applied to the nut main body, and engaging means for holding a state in which the nut main body is held in the holder portion and for supporting the nut main body until a compressive load applied to the nut main body is increased up to a predetermined value are provided to at least one of the nut main body and the nut holder. Accordingly, a car body structure can be achieved which can control an allowable value against a compressive load applied to the seat belt anchor plate and support a large tensile load sufficiently.
