Vehicle Load Distribution System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17752098 titled 'Vehicle Load Distribution System
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an embodiment vehicle load distribution system that includes various components such as a dash crossmember, front side members, and rear lower members.
- The system consists of a dash crossmember, which serves as a central support structure.
- There are two front side members that extend from the dash crossmember towards the front of the vehicle.
- Additionally, there are two rear lower members that extend from the dash crossmember towards the rear of the vehicle.
- The front end of each rear lower member is aligned with the rear end of the corresponding front side member.
Potential Applications:
- This load distribution system can be applied in various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or SUVs.
- It can be used in both commercial and personal vehicles.
- The system can be integrated into new vehicle designs or retrofitted into existing vehicles.
Problems Solved:
- The load distribution system helps distribute the weight of the vehicle more evenly, improving stability and handling.
- It can help reduce the strain on certain components of the vehicle, such as the suspension or tires.
- By evenly distributing the load, it can also help prevent excessive wear and tear on specific areas of the vehicle.
Benefits:
- Improved vehicle stability and handling, especially when carrying heavy loads.
- Reduced strain on vehicle components, leading to potentially longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
- Enhanced safety by minimizing the risk of imbalanced weight distribution.
Overall, this load distribution system provides a structural solution to evenly distribute the weight of a vehicle, improving stability, reducing strain on components, and enhancing safety.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment vehicle load distribution system includes a dash crossmember, a pair of front side members extending from the dash crossmember toward a front of a vehicle, and a pair of rear lower members extending from the dash crossmember toward a rear of the vehicle, wherein a front end of each rear lower member is aligned with a rear end of a corresponding front side member.
