Stiffness Reinforcement Structure for Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240190508 titled 'Stiffness Reinforcement Structure for Vehicle
The embodiment stiffness reinforcement structure for a vehicle described in the abstract is a support member that connects the roof bow of a vehicle body to the front frame, providing additional stiffness and support to the vehicle structure.
- The support member is joined to the lateral end of the roof bow and the front frame, creating a strong connection between the two components.
- Positioned between a side pillar and the interior of the vehicle body, the support member is spaced apart from the side pillar at a lower region.
- The lower end of the support member extends further into the interior of the vehicle body than the upper end, enhancing the structural integrity of the vehicle.
Potential Applications: - This innovation can be applied in various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and SUVs, to improve overall structural rigidity. - It can also be used in the design of specialized vehicles, such as off-road vehicles or racing cars, to enhance performance and safety.
Problems Solved: - Provides additional reinforcement to the vehicle structure, reducing the risk of deformation or damage in the event of a collision. - Enhances the overall stability and handling of the vehicle, especially during high-speed maneuvers or off-road driving.
Benefits: - Improved safety for vehicle occupants due to increased structural integrity. - Enhanced performance and handling characteristics, leading to a better driving experience. - Long-term durability and reliability, reducing maintenance costs for vehicle owners.
Commercial Applications: - Automotive industry: Manufacturers can integrate this innovation into their vehicle designs to meet safety and performance standards. - Aftermarket modifications: Vehicle owners can retrofit their vehicles with this reinforcement structure for added safety and performance benefits.
Questions about the Embodiment Stiffness Reinforcement Structure: 1. How does the support member enhance the overall structural rigidity of the vehicle? 2. What are the potential cost implications of integrating this reinforcement structure into vehicle manufacturing processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
an embodiment stiffness reinforcement structure for a vehicle includes a support member including an upper end joined to a lateral end of a roof bow of a vehicle body and a lower end joined to a front frame disposed at a lower portion of the vehicle body to connect the roof bow and the front frame. the support member is disposed between a side pillar of the vehicle body and an interior of the vehicle body and is spaced apart from the side pillar at a lower region of the support member. the lower end of the support member is positioned further into the interior of the vehicle body than the upper end.
