VEHICLE REAR STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18512364 titled 'VEHICLE REAR STRUCTURE

The framework of this patent application consists of a pair of right and left side frames, a second cross member connected to the rear portions of the side frames, and a third cross member connected to the rear of the second cross member.

  • The second cross member bridges along the lateral direction of the vehicle and supports the rear portion of the motor.
  • The third cross member bridges along the right-left direction of the vehicle and detachably supports the spare tire.
  • The third cross member is formed in an inverted U shape and has a spare tire lifting device in the middle.
  • Attachment portions on the third cross member support the rear ends of the leaf springs.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle chassis design - Spare tire mounting systems in vehicles

Problems Solved: - Efficient spare tire storage and access - Structural support for the rear portion of the motor

Benefits: - Improved organization of spare tire storage - Enhanced stability and support for the motor

Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturers for vehicle production - Aftermarket spare tire mounting systems

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the spare tire lifting device work? 2. What materials are typically used in constructing the side frames and cross members?


Original Abstract Submitted

The framework includes a pair of right and left side frames extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, a second cross member connected to the rear portions of the side frames so as to bridge along the lateral direction of the vehicle and supporting the rear portion of the motor, and the side frames. A third cross member is connected to the rear of the second cross member so as to bridge along the right-left direction of the vehicle, and detachably supports the spare tire so as to hang it. The third cross member is formed in an inverted U shape, has a spare tire lifting device in the middle in the longitudinal direction, and has attachment portions to which the rear ends of the leaf springs are attached at one end side and the other longitudinal end side of the third cross member.
