1. A vehicle side door structure comprising:
- an inner panel;
an outer panel that is positioned on an outer side of the inner panel in a vehicle-width direction, and that forms a closed space in cooperation with the inner panel;
an impact beam that extends in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body, and that is arranged within the closed space at a position close to the outer panel;
a bracket that is attached to the inner panel, and that holds a collision detector at a portion of the bracket which is on an inner side of the inner panel in the vehicle-width direction; and
a load transmission member that connects the impact beam to the inner panel at a portion that overlaps the bracket from a lateral view, wherein;
the collision detector is arranged at a position closer to a rear of the inner panel than to a middle of the inner panel in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body;
the bracket is fixedly connected to the inner panel at a portion of the inner panel which is posterior to a portion of the inner panel to which the load transmission member is fixedly connected; and
the bracket holds the collision detector at a portion of the bracket which is anterior in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body to the portion of the inner panel to which the load transmission member is fixedly connected.

Abstract
A vehicle side door structure includes an inner panel, an outer panel that is positioned on the outside of the inner panel in the vehicle-width direction, and that forms a closed space in cooperation with the inner panel. In addition, an impact beam extends in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle body, and is arranged within the closed space at a position close to the outer panel, a bracket is attached to the inner panel and holds, at a portion which is on the inner side of the inner panel in the vehicle-width direction, a collision detector, and a load transmission member connects the impact beam to the inner panel at a portion that overlaps the bracket from a lateral view.

6. A vehicle side door structure for a vehicle having a vehicle body that extends in a longitudinal direction, the vehicle body having a width in a vehicle-width direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, the vehicle side door structure comprising:
-
an inner panel; an outer panel that is positioned on an outer side of the inner panel in the vehicle-width direction, a space existing between the outer panel and the inner panel; an impact beam that extends in the longitudinal direction, and that is arranged within the space adjacent to the outer panel; a bracket that is attached to the inner panel by a connection portion of the bracket, the bracket having a holding portion for holding a collision detector; and a load transmission member that connects the impact beam to the inner panel at a position that overlaps the connection portion of the bracket, wherein; the holding portion of the bracket is arranged at a position closer to a rear of the inner panel than to a middle of the inner panel in the longitudinal direction; the bracket is fixedly connected to the inner panel at a portion of the inner panel which is posterior to a portion of the inner panel to which the load transmission member is fixedly connected; and the holding portion of the bracket is anterior in the longitudinal direction to the portion of the inner panel to which the load transmission member is fixedly connected. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
