TARPAULIN HOUSING STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18129990 Titled 'TARPAULIN HOUSING STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a design feature in which a joint groove is created between the roof structure and the side body structure of a vehicle. A roof rail, which is hollow, is attached to the vehicle and runs along the joint groove. This creates a housing space for a tarpaulin, which is larger and easier to secure compared to if the housing space was solely defined by the roof rail.
Original Abstract Submitted
A joint groove is defined in a joint section of a roof structure and a side body structure of a vehicle. A roof rail having a hollow structure is fixed to the vehicle so as to extend along the joint groove. A housing space for housing a tarpaulin is cooperatively defined by both the roof rail and the joint groove. Greater housing space can be more easily secured as compared to a case in which the housing space is defined solely by the roof rail.
