VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18228830 titled 'VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle body structure with rockers, center pillars, transverse direction supporting portions, and transverse direction mounting portions that detachably connect the rockers and lower portions of the vehicle body.

  • Rockers structure portions of the vehicle transverse direction outer sides of the vehicle body lower portion.
  • Center pillars have outer side wall portions positioned at the outer side of the rocker and inner side wall portions positioned at the inner side of the rocker.
  • Transverse direction supporting portions are located inside the rockers and have transverse direction through-portions that extend in the vehicle transverse direction.
  • Transverse direction mounting portions connect the rockers and lower portions by being inserted through outer side inserted-through portions, inner side inserted-through portions, and the transverse direction through-portions.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry for vehicle body structures.
  • Manufacturing industry for detachable connections in structures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies assembly and disassembly of vehicle body structures.
  • Provides a secure connection between rockers and lower portions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Facilitates maintenance and repair of vehicle body structures.
  • Allows for customization and modification of vehicle body components.


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle body structure including: rockers structuring portions of vehicle transverse direction outer sides of a vehicle body lower portion; center pillars, whose lower portion at a vehicle lower side being structured to include an outer side wall portion positioned at vehicle transverse direction outer side of the rocker, and an inner side wall portion positioned at vehicle transverse direction inner side of the rocker; transverse direction supporting portions disposed at interiors of the rockers, at each of the transverse direction supporting portions being formed a transverse direction through-portion that extends in a vehicle transverse direction; and transverse direction mounting portions that are inserted, in the vehicle transverse direction, through outer side inserted-through portions provided in the outer side wall portions, inner side inserted-through portions provided in the inner side wall portions, and the transverse direction through-portions, and that detachably connect the rockers and the lower portions.
