VEHICLE FRAME ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18120614 titled 'VEHICLE FRAME ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle frame assembly described in the patent application includes a unique design that incorporates a battery at the lower portion of the vehicle, a rear floor panel located behind the battery, and frame rear side members that support the rear floor panel from below. The rear floor panel has a depressed center portion to provide a boarding space, and the frame rear side members are inclined and connected to the rear mounting parts of the floor panel.
- Battery located at lower portion of vehicle
- Rear floor panel with depressed center portion for boarding space
- Frame rear side members supporting floor panel from below

Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle frame assembly includes a battery at a lower portion of a vehicle and a rear floor panel extending in a transverse direction of the vehicle and located rearward of the battery. Opposite ends of the rear floor panel have second rear mounting parts extending outward and a center portion between the second rear mounting parts is depressed downward to provide a boarding space. The vehicle frame assembly includes frame rear side members extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle at opposite lateral sides of the battery. Each frame rear side member has a front end and a back end connected to each other to be inclined and each front end has the same height as the boarding space depressed downward, and each back end is coupled to the second rear mounting parts in one direction to support the rear floor panel from below.
