Abstract
A reinforcing element structure placed between left and right seats. A reinforcing element comprises a pair of left and right side walls positioned so as to be disposed opposite from interior faces of a pair of left and right seats, and a reinforcing member for coupling the pair of left and right side walls. The pair of left and right side walls and the reinforcing member are jointly fastened to a tunnel section. A load that acts on the reinforcing element is transferred from one of the side walls to the other side wall via the reinforcing member. The load is withstood by a highly rigid reinforcing element constituted by the left and right side walls and the reinforcing member.
