What is claimed is:
1. A digestion promoter for a ruminant animal for promoting digestion of feed in a stomach of the ruminant animal, containing, as a main component, electrolyzed weak alkaline water produced in an electrolytic cell with an ion-permeable membrane.
2. A breeding method of a ruminant animal, providing plants as feed for the ruminant animal with drinking water containing, as a main component, electrolyzed weak alkaline water produced in an electrolytic cell with an ion-permeable membrane.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A vehicle body structure comprising:
a roof side rail having a closed section formed by integrating together an outer panel member and an inner panel member to form a side edge of a roof member of a vehicle body;
a rail member that is disposed at an upper edge of a side opening of the vehicle body and along said roof side rail, and guides a sliding door intended to open and close the side opening; and
a reinforcing member that is disposed in the closed section of said roof side rail and has a closed section such that a cross sectional area of a part proximal to the rail member is different from a cross sectional area of other part.
2. A vehicle body structure according to claim 1, wherein a front pillar having a closed section formed by integrating together a pillar inner panel and a pillar outer panel is connected to a front end of said roof side rail, and said reinforcing member is provided extensionally from the closed section of the front pillar and is fixed inside the closed section of the front pillar.
3. A vehicle body structure according to claim 1, wherein the closed section of said roof side rail is formed such that a sectional area of a part along which said rail member is disposed is smaller than a sectional area of a part close to the front pillar, and said reinforcing member is formed such that said cross sectional area of the part proximal to said rail member is smaller than a sectional area of the part closer to the front pillar.
4. A vehicle body structure according to claim 2, wherein the closed section of said roof side rail is formed such that a sectional area of a part along which said rail member is disposed is smaller than a sectional area of a part close to the front pillar, and said reinforcing member is formed such that said cross sectional area of the part proximal to said rail member is smaller than a sectional area of the part closer to the front pillar.
5. A vehicle body structure according to claim 3, wherein in the part proximal to said rail member, said reinforcing member is formed with an internal projection projecting inward in a section thereof.
6. A vehicle body structure according to claim 5, wherein an outer peripheral side base part of the internal projection is formed to extend toward an inner side of the vehicle body from a side of the vehicle body.
7. A vehicle body structure comprising:
a roof side rail having a closed section formed by integrating together an outer panel member and an inner panel member;
a front pillar that is provided continuously from a front end of said roof side rail, and has a closed section formed by integrating together a pillar inner panel and a pillar outer panel;
a center pillar that is provided extensionally downward from an intermediate section of said roof side rail;
a sliding door that opens and closes a vehicle body side opening with an upper edge thereof formed by a part of said roof side rail at rear of said center pillar, and a part of a side edge thereof formed by said center pillar;
a sliding door rail member that extends along the upper edge to a position in a vicinity of the upper edge to guide said sliding door; and
a pipe-shaped reinforcing member that is disposed inside the closed section of said roof side rail and is continuously formed from said front pillar to the part of said roof side rail forming the upper edge of the side opening and is fixed to the pillar inner panel and the roof side inner panel by welding;
wherein the closed section of said roof side rail is formed such that a sectional area of the part forming the upper edge is smaller than a sectional area of a part in front of said center pillar; and
said reinforcing member is formed such that a sectional area of a part disposed at the upper edge of the sliding door is smaller than a sectional area of a part disposed in front of said center pillar.
8. A vehicle body structure according to claim 7, wherein the part of said pipe-shaped reinforcing member disposed at the upper edge of said sliding door projects inward in said pipe-shape reinforcing member to extend from an outer peripheral side base part, disposed close to a side of the vehicle body, toward an inner side of the vehicle body.
9. A vehicle body structure comprising:
a roof side rail having a closed section that is disposed at an upper part of a side opening of a vehicle body;
a rail member that is disposed along said roof side rail, and guides an arm of a sliding door intended to open and close the side opening; and
a reinforcing member that is disposed in the closed section of said roof side rail and has a closed section such that a cross sectional area of a part above a space where the arm of the sliding door moves is different from a cross sectional area of a part disposed in front of the space.
