REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE OF DECK FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18342161 titled 'REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE OF DECK FOR VEHICLE
The embodiment structure described in the abstract is designed to reinforce the deck of a vehicle by incorporating chassis frames, a wheelhouse assembly, and a reinforcement structure.
- Chassis frames are positioned on both side surfaces of the lower end of the vehicle deck.
- The wheelhouse assembly is located on the chassis frame and defines a side surface of the deck.
- A reinforcement structure is positioned at the end of the wheelhouse assembly where a rear gate is typically located at the rear end of the deck.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied to various types of vehicles, such as trucks, SUVs, and vans. - It can enhance the structural integrity of the vehicle deck, providing increased safety and durability.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of potential structural weaknesses in the deck of a vehicle, especially in areas where the rear gate is located. - Helps prevent damage and deformation of the deck, particularly during heavy use or when carrying heavy loads.
Benefits: - Improved safety for passengers and cargo due to reinforced deck structure. - Enhanced longevity of the vehicle deck, reducing maintenance costs over time.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the design and durability of their vehicles. - Aftermarket companies could offer reinforcement kits based on this innovation for vehicle owners looking to upgrade their deck structure.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this reinforcement structure impact the overall weight and balance of the vehicle? 2. Are there specific regulations or standards that this technology must meet for use in commercial vehicles?
