FRONT STRUCTURE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010264 titled 'FRONT STRUCTURE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a front structure of a motor vehicle that includes a bulkhead, front side members, a steering ball joint, and a rack seal.

  • The bulkhead extends between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment.
  • The front side members are connected to the bulkhead.
  • The steering ball joint is provided in the bulkhead and projects into the engine compartment.
  • The steering ball joint has a base with an oblong orifice and an edge facing the engine compartment.
  • The rack is installed in the engine compartment, and the rack seal is designed to engage between the rack and the steering ball joint.
  • A planar annular part surface is mounted on the edge of the steering ball joint, extending around the oblong orifice to extend the reception range of the rack seal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: This front structure design can be used in various motor vehicles to improve steering performance and ensure proper sealing between the rack and the steering ball joint.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved sealing: The rack seal engages with the steering ball joint to provide a better seal, preventing leakage and improving the overall performance of the steering system.
  • Enhanced steering performance: The design of the front structure, including the steering ball joint and rack seal, helps to improve the steering response and accuracy of the vehicle.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety: The proper sealing between the rack and the steering ball joint ensures that the steering system operates effectively, enhancing the safety of the vehicle.
  • Enhanced driving experience: The improved steering performance provided by this technology results in a smoother and more responsive driving experience for the driver.
  • Increased durability: The design of the front structure, including the rack seal, helps to protect the steering system components from external elements, increasing their lifespan and durability.


Original Abstract Submitted

a front structure of a motor vehicle includes: a bulkhead extending between an engine compartment and a passenger compartment; two front side members connected to the bulkhead; a steering ball joint provided in the bulkhead and projecting into the engine compartment, the steering ball joint having a base and an oblong orifice provided in the base and defining an edge extending around the oblong orifice facing the engine compartment; and a rack installed in the engine compartment and a rack seal designed to engage between the rack and the steering ball joint. the structure also includes a planar annular part surface mounted on the edge and extending around the oblong orifice in order to be able to extend the reception range of the rack seal.
