VEHICLE REAR PORTION STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18498486 titled 'VEHICLE REAR PORTION STRUCTURE

The vehicle rear portion structure described in the patent application consists of a pair of rear portion structural members, a pair of rear side members, and a cross-connection member.

  • The rear portion structural members are hollow members that are integrally cast with a body portion, a tower portion, and a suspension member portion.
  • The pair of rear portion structural members are connected to each other by the cross-connection member.
  • The rear side members are spaced apart in the vehicle width direction.
  • The tower portion of the rear portion structural members has a pair of arm portions connected to it.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in the automotive industry for the design and construction of vehicle rear portions.

Problems Solved: This innovation provides a structurally sound and integrated rear portion design for vehicles, enhancing overall performance and safety.

Benefits: The benefits of this technology include improved structural integrity, better weight distribution, and potentially enhanced vehicle handling.

Commercial Applications: This technology could be utilized by automotive manufacturers to improve the design and performance of vehicles, potentially leading to safer and more efficient cars on the market.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the integration of the body portion, tower portion, and suspension member portion in the rear portion structural members improve vehicle performance? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in vehicle manufacturing processes?
