Original Abstract Submitted

The skeleton member includes a cut and a welded portion, and the cut is formed in the skeleton member and extends along the ridge line so that the ridge line is exposed. In addition, in the welded portion, the skeleton member is welded to the skeleton member along the cut along the ridge line by fillet welding. In this way, no welded portion is provided on the ridge line. Since the rigidity in the ridge line portion is higher than the periphery and the shared load is also large, it is possible to reduce cracking starting from the ridge line portion by not providing the welded portion in the ridge line.
