Upper Body for Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17868175 titled 'Upper Body for Vehicle
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment upper body for a vehicle described in the patent application includes the following features:
- Upper main body extending in a longitudinal direction from two opposite sides of the vehicle.
- Upper main body comprises a plurality of transverse members.
- Upper body pillar units with a central portion bent and protruding upward.
- Two opposite ends of the upper body pillar units are connected to two opposite sides of the upper main body.
- Upper body pillar units are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction.
- Upper body connection member extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
- Upper body connection member is spaced apart upward from a side of the upper main body.
- Upper body connection member connects sides of the plurality of upper body pillar units.
