==FRONT SIDE MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18413027 titled 'FRONT SIDE MEMBER

The patent application describes a front side member for a vehicle that extends in the front-rear direction on both the left and right sides, with an open cross-sectional shape that includes at least one opening in the vehicle width direction, and is made by die casting.

* The front side member includes ribs that connect the bottom surface, lower surface of the upper wall, and upper surface of the lower wall, with a minimum rib height set to be equal to or greater than half of the width dimension D of the upper and lower walls.

* The front side member is designed to provide structural support and rigidity to the vehicle body while allowing for efficient manufacturing through die casting.

* By integrating ribs into the design, the front side member can withstand various forces and stresses experienced during vehicle operation.

* The open cross-sectional shape with an opening allows for easier installation of components and access for maintenance purposes.

* The use of die casting ensures a high level of precision and consistency in the production of the front side member.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A front side member extends in a vehicle front-rear direction at each of both left and right sides in a vehicle width direction, has an open cross-sectional shape in which an opening is provided at at least one side thereof in the vehicle width direction, and is integrally molded by die casting. The front side member includes plural ribs that connect a bottom surface at a side opposite from the opening, a lower surface of an upper wall in a vehicle up-down direction, and an upper surface of a lower wall in the vehicle up-down direction. A minimum rib height of the ribs along the vehicle width direction is set to be equal to or greater than half of a width direction dimension D of the upper wall and the lower wall.
