FRONT FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025481 titled 'FRONT FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a front frame assembly for a motor vehicle that includes a suspension attachment structure and an absorption element. The suspension attachment structure is fixed to the body cell of the motor vehicle and defines the passenger compartment. The absorption element is separate from the structure and is fixed to it, extending in a first direction. The structure has openings for components of the steering system.

  • The front frame assembly is designed to be attached to the body cell of a motor vehicle and provides support for the suspension system.
  • The absorption element is responsible for absorbing the energy generated during a front crash of the motor vehicle.
  • The absorption element is separate from the suspension attachment structure and is fixed to it, extending in a specific direction.
  • The structure has openings that allow for the passage of components of the steering system.
  • The second opening has an elongated shape along a direction that is transversal to the first direction.
  • There is at least one third opening opposite the second opening with respect to the first opening.

Potential Applications:

  • This front frame assembly can be used in the manufacturing of motor vehicles, specifically for the front section of the vehicle.
  • It can be applied in various types of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, and SUVs.
  • The absorption element can help improve the safety and crashworthiness of the motor vehicle.

Problems Solved:

  • The front frame assembly provides a structure that can be fixed to the body cell of the motor vehicle, ensuring stability and support for the suspension system.
  • The absorption element helps absorb the energy associated with a front crash, reducing the impact on the passenger compartment and improving safety.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety for occupants of the motor vehicle in the event of a front crash.
  • Enhanced crashworthiness of the motor vehicle.
  • Increased stability and support for the suspension system.
  • Compatibility with various types of motor vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

front frame assembly for a motor vehicle comprising a suspension attachment structure, which can be fixed to a body cell of the motor vehicle defining a passenger compartment of said motor vehicle; and an absorption element adapted to absorb the energy associated with a front crash of the motor vehicle; the absorption element being distinct from the structure, being fixed to the latter and extending along a first direction. the structure comprises a first opening adapted to be passed through by a component of a steering system of the motor vehicle, a second opening having an elongated shape along a second direction transversal to the first direction; and at least one third opening opposite the second opening with respect to the first opening.
