VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240227583 titled 'VEHICLE

The abstract describes a vehicle with a battery case, a frame member, and a wire harness. The battery case consists of an upper and lower case and houses a battery. The frame member faces the upper case and includes a first frame-side portion that faces a first case-side portion of the upper case. The wire harness passes through a gap between the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion, with a covering portion made of an elastic member that covers the wire harness's outer circumference and is in contact with both case and frame-side portions.

  • Battery case with upper and lower cases housing a battery
  • Frame member facing the upper case with a first frame-side portion
  • Wire harness passing through a gap between the case and frame-side portions
  • Covering portion made of an elastic member covering the wire harness
  • Contact between covering portion, case-side portion, and frame-side portion

Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Hybrid vehicles - Battery-powered devices

Problems Solved: - Secure wire harness routing - Protection of wire harness from damage - Efficient battery housing

Benefits: - Improved wire harness organization - Enhanced durability of wire harness - Streamlined battery installation process

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Wire Harness System for Electric Vehicles This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for electric and hybrid vehicles, enhancing the efficiency and safety of wire harness routing and battery housing.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the elastic covering portion of the wire harness contribute to the overall design? The elastic covering portion provides flexibility and protection to the wire harness, ensuring secure routing and durability. 2. What advantages does the wire harness system offer compared to traditional methods? The wire harness system offers improved organization, protection, and efficiency in routing wires, enhancing overall vehicle performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle includes a battery case, a frame member, and a wire harness. the battery case includes an upper case and a lower case and houses a battery. the frame member faces the upper case. the upper case includes a first case-side portion. the frame member includes a first frame-side portion that faces the first case-side portion. the wire harness is disposed so as to pass through a gap between the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion, and includes a covering portion made of an elastic member that covers an outer circumference of the wire harness. the covering portion is in contact with the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion, and is sandwiched between the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion.
