VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18143878 titled 'VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle design that includes a floor panel, a battery, a rocker, a torque box, and a front side member. The torque box extends inward from the front end of the rocker along the front edge of the floor panel. It consists of a front wall and a rear wall that face each other in the length direction of the vehicle, creating an internal space in the width direction. The front side member extends forward from the torque box and has a proximal end portion located within the internal space of the torque box, joined to its inner surface.

  • The vehicle design includes a torque box that extends inward from the rocker along the front edge of the floor panel.
  • The torque box has a front wall and a rear wall that define an internal space in the width direction of the vehicle.
  • The front side member extends forward from the torque box and has a proximal end portion located within the internal space of the torque box.
  • The proximal end portion of the front side member is joined to the inner surface of the torque box in the internal space.

Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle includes a floor panel, a battery, a rocker, a torque box, and a front side member. The torque box extends inward in the vehicle width direction from a front end of the rocker along a front edge of the floor panel. The torque box includes a front wall and a rear wall that face each other in the vehicle length direction. The front wall and the rear wall define an internal space extending in the vehicle width direction. The front side member extends forward in the vehicle length direction from the torque box, and includes a proximal end portion at a rear end of the front side member. The proximal end portion is located in the internal space of the torque box, and is joined to an inner surface of the torque box in the internal space.
