Vehicle Body Structure - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18180959 titled 'Vehicle Body Structure
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment vehicle body structure described in the abstract includes a floor panel, a front mounting member on an upper side of the floor panel, and a partition member at the rear of the front mounting member. The front mounting member protrudes and extends in a lateral direction of the vehicle body to fix a front lower side of a seat, while the partition member protrudes and extends in the lateral direction of the vehicle body to fix a rear lower side of the seat.
- Floor panel, front mounting member, and partition member are key components of the vehicle body structure.
- Front mounting member fixes the front lower side of the seat by protruding and extending in a lateral direction of the vehicle body.
- Partition member fixes the rear lower side of the seat by protruding and extending in the lateral direction of the vehicle body.
