ROCKER STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253705 titled 'ROCKER STRUCTURE

The abstract describes a rocker structure for a vehicle, consisting of front-side members, rear-side members, and fasteners that can be adjusted between two states to change the insertion amount of the rear-side members into the front-side members.

  • The rocker structure includes front-side and rear-side members forming a closed cross-sectional structure.
  • The front end of each rear-side member is inserted into a front-side member.
  • Fasteners mechanically fasten the front-side members with the rear-side members in two states, adjusting the insertion amount of the rear-side members.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle chassis design. - Off-road vehicles for enhanced stability and durability. - Racing cars for improved performance and handling.

Problems Solved: - Provides structural rigidity to the vehicle lower portion. - Allows for adjustment of the rocker structure for different driving conditions. - Enhances overall vehicle safety and performance.

Benefits: - Increased stability and handling of the vehicle. - Customizable rocker structure for various driving needs. - Improved durability and longevity of the vehicle chassis.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Rocker Structure for Enhanced Vehicle Performance" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for designing high-performance vehicles, off-road vehicles, and racing cars to improve stability, handling, and overall performance.

Questions about Rocker Structure: 1. How does the rocker structure enhance vehicle stability and performance? - The rocker structure provides structural rigidity and adjustability, improving stability and handling of the vehicle. 2. What are the potential applications of the rocker structure in different industries? - The rocker structure can be used in the automotive industry, off-road vehicles, and racing cars for enhanced performance and durability.


Original Abstract Submitted

a rocker structure includes: a pair of front-side members respectively provided at each side, in a vehicle width direction, of a vehicle lower portion at a vehicle front side, and each front-side member extending in a vehicle front-rear direction and forming a closed cross-sectional structure; a pair of rear-side members, a front end portion of each rear-side member being inserted into a respective one of the front-side members, and each rear-side member extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and forming a closed cross-sectional structure; and fasteners that mechanically fasten together respective ones of the front-side members with respective ones of the rear-side members in at least two states, the at least two states including a first state and a second state, in the first state, an insertion amount of each rear-side member into the respective one of the front-side members is larger than an insertion amount in the second state.
