Connection Structure of Tubular Type Pillars - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17951295 titled 'Connection Structure of Tubular Type Pillars
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment connection structure of tubular type pillars described in the patent application includes an outer joint bracket and an inner joint bracket that are coupled to the side sill of a vehicle.
- The lower portion of a pillar member is fitted and coupled to the outer joint bracket along the width direction of the vehicle.
- The inner joint bracket is coupled to the outer joint bracket and also coupled to a sill inner member.
- The sill inner member and the sill outer member are joined together.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: This connection structure can be used in the manufacturing of vehicles, specifically in the construction of tubular type pillars.
- Construction industry: The concept of this connection structure can be applied to the construction of structures that require strong and secure connections between different components.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplified connection: The embodiment connection structure simplifies the process of connecting the pillar member to the side sill, making it more efficient and cost-effective.
- Improved stability: The connection between the outer joint bracket, inner joint bracket, and the sill members enhances the overall stability and strength of the structure.
Benefits of this technology:
- Cost-effective: The simplified connection structure reduces manufacturing costs and assembly time.
- Enhanced strength: The connection structure provides a strong and secure connection between the pillar member and the side sill, improving the overall strength and stability of the vehicle or structure.
