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 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 and upper door frame configured to slide in a vertical direction
- Lower door frame forming a lower portion of a vehicle door
- Upper door frame connected to the lower door frame to form an upper portion of the vehicle door
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in the design of vehicles where maximizing internal space is crucial, such as camper vans or mobile homes.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of limited internal space in vehicles by allowing for vertical expansion of the internal space when needed.
Benefits
The main benefit of this technology is the ability to increase internal space in vehicles without increasing the overall size of the vehicle.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be commercially applied in the manufacturing of recreational vehicles, mobile homes, or other types of vehicles where maximizing internal space is a key selling point.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to adjustable vehicle frames or expandable vehicle doors, but further research would be needed to identify specific examples.

The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific sliding mechanism used in the vehicle body frame.
What materials are used in the construction of the vehicle body frame to ensure durability and stability?
The patent application does not mention the specific materials used in the construction of the vehicle body frame.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle body frame includes a lower frame fixed to a floor of a vehicle to define a lower region of an internal space in the vehicle, a roof frame connected to an upper portion of the lower frame to define an upper region of the internal space, configured to slid in a vertical direction of the vehicle with respect to the lower frame, to expand the internal space upwards when the roof frame slides upwards, 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, and configured to slid together with the roof frame to expand the vehicle door upwards when the roof frame slides upwards.
