SENSOR ARRANGEMENT STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18468739 titled 'SENSOR ARRANGEMENT STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
The sensor arrangement structure described in the patent application makes it easy to arrange a sensor tube by including a bumper beam, a shock absorber with a groove, and a contact sensor with a sensor tube placed between the bumper beam and the shock absorber. The groove is designed to accommodate the sensor tube, with an expansion groove portion wider than the rest of the groove.
- Bumper beam included in the sensor arrangement structure
- Shock absorber with a groove for the sensor tube
- Contact sensor with a sensor tube placed between the bumper beam and shock absorber
- Groove designed to arrange the sensor tube, with an expansion groove portion wider than the rest of the groove
