VEHICLE FRONT PART STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366616 titled 'VEHICLE FRONT PART STRUCTURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a structure where the member is arranged in cooperation with the subframe and the undercover on the first diagonal line. The cover front-side connection portion and the cover rear-side connection portion are located on or near the first diagonal line. The undercover has a reinforcing portion extending on a second diagonal line, increasing the rigidity of the frame front connecting portion.

  • Member arranged in cooperation with subframe and undercover on first diagonal line
  • Cover front-side connection portion and cover rear-side connection portion located on or near first diagonal line
  • Undercover has reinforcing portion extending on second diagonal line for increased rigidity of frame front connecting portion

Original Abstract Submitted

On the first diagonal, the member is arranged in cooperation with the subframe and the undercover. Further, the cover front-side connection portion and the cover rear-side connection portion are located on or near the first diagonal line. Further, the undercover is provided with a reinforcing portion extending on a second diagonal line which is a diagonal line of a quadrangle having a cover front side connecting portion and a cover rear side connecting portion as a top portion. Therefore, the rigidity of the frame front connecting portion can be increased. In this structure, since it is not necessary to provide an additional component different from the undercover, it is possible to eliminate an increase in the number of components due to the additional component and an occupation of space due to the additional component.
