ASSEMBLY FOR LOAD DISTRIBUTION IN A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18681917 titled 'ASSEMBLY FOR LOAD DISTRIBUTION IN A VEHICLE
The arrangement for load distribution in a vehicle involves a longitudinal member, a fastening sleeve, and a cross member with at least one fastening flange.
- The fastening flange of the cross member extends parallel to the longitudinal member and is connected to the fastening sleeve.
- The fastening sleeve is inserted into the longitudinal member and connected in a formfitting manner, introducing tensile loads into the longitudinal member.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle chassis design - Transportation vehicles for load-bearing structures
Problems Solved: - Efficient load distribution in vehicles - Enhanced structural integrity and stability
Benefits: - Improved vehicle performance and safety - Optimal weight distribution for better handling
Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturing companies - Transportation and logistics industry
Questions about load distribution in vehicles: 1. How does the arrangement of the fastening sleeve and cross member improve load distribution in vehicles?
- The fastening sleeve and cross member work together to introduce tensile loads into the longitudinal member, enhancing overall structural stability.
2. What are the key advantages of using a hollow profile longitudinal member in this load distribution arrangement?
- The hollow profile design provides a balance of strength and weight savings, making it ideal for efficient load distribution in vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
An arrangement for load distribution in a vehicle, having a longitudinal member designed as a hollow profile, a fastening sleeve, and a cross member which has at least one fastening flange, as well as a vehicle having such an arrangement. Here, the at least one fastening flange of the cross member extends at least in some sections parallel to the longitudinal member and is connected to the fastening sleeve. The fastening sleeve is inserted into the longitudinal member and connected in a formfitting manner to the longitudinal member, the fastening sleeve extends parallel to the cross member and introduces acting tensile loads into the longitudinal member.
