VEHICLE BODY FRAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18134452 titled 'VEHICLE BODY FRAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle body frame that includes a lower frame fixed to the floor of a vehicle, a roof frame connected to the upper portion of the lower frame, a lower door frame forming a lower portion of a vehicle door, and an upper door frame connected to the lower door frame to form an upper portion of the vehicle door. The roof frame and upper door frame are configured to slide in a vertical direction to expand the internal space of the vehicle upwards when the roof frame slides upwards.
- Lower frame fixed to the floor of the vehicle
- Roof frame connected to the upper portion of the lower frame
- Roof frame slides in a vertical direction to expand internal space upwards
- Lower door frame forms lower portion of vehicle door
- Upper door frame connected to lower door frame and slides with roof frame to expand vehicle door upwards
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in the design of vehicles where maximizing internal space is important, such as camper vans or mobile homes.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of limited internal space in vehicles by providing a mechanism to expand the internal space upwards.
Benefits
