BODY TIE-DOWN - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18653620 titled 'BODY TIE-DOWN

The abstract describes a body tie-down for a chassis that includes a mounting plate, a spring assembly, and a rigid member. The mounting plate is designed to be fixedly coupled with a body frame member using fasteners that include a bolt and collar swaged together. The rigid member is connected to the mounting plate through the spring assembly to create a semi-resilient joint, providing a fixed coupling with a frame.

• Mounting plate fixedly couples with body frame member
• Fasteners include bolt and collar swaged together
• Rigid member connected to mounting plate through spring assembly
• Semi-resilient joint created between rigid member and mounting plate
• Rigid member fixedly couples with frame

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for securing body to chassis - Manufacturing of vehicles and machinery - Construction equipment for stability and safety

Problems Solved: - Securely fastening body to chassis - Providing a semi-resilient joint for flexibility - Ensuring stability and safety in various applications

Benefits: - Improved structural integrity - Enhanced safety and stability - Easy installation and maintenance

Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturing - Construction equipment - Industrial machinery

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the semi-resilient joint improve the performance of the body tie-down system? 2. What materials are typically used in the construction of the mounting plate and rigid member?

Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing developments in chassis design and body tie-down systems - Advances in materials for improved durability and performance

Original Abstract Submitted

A body tie-down for a chassis includes a mounting plate, a spring assembly, and a rigid member. The mounting plate is configured to fixedly couple with a body frame member with one or more fasteners, each of the fasteners including a bolt and a collar that are swaged together. The rigid member is configured to couple with the mounting plate through the spring assembly to provide a semi-resilient joint between the rigid member and the mounting plate, the rigid member configured to fixedly couple with a frame.
