FRONT SIDE MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262426 titled 'FRONT SIDE MEMBER

The patent application describes a front side member for a vehicle that extends on both the left and right sides in the width direction of the vehicle.

  • The front side member has an open cross-sectional shape with an opening on at least one side in the vehicle width direction.
  • It is integrally molded by die casting, ensuring a strong and durable construction.
  • The front side member includes ribs that connect various surfaces, providing structural support.
  • The minimum rib height along the vehicle width direction is set to be equal to or greater than half of the width dimension of the upper and lower walls.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle front-end structures - Manufacturing of vehicles for enhanced structural integrity

Problems Solved: - Providing a strong and durable front side member for vehicles - Ensuring structural support and stability in the front-end design

Benefits: - Improved safety and durability of vehicles - Cost-effective manufacturing process with die casting - Enhanced overall performance of the vehicle

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Front Side Member for Enhanced Vehicle Safety" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for various vehicle models to improve safety standards and structural integrity.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the minimum rib height contribute to the overall strength of the front side member? - The minimum rib height ensures structural integrity and support along the vehicle width direction. 2. What are the advantages of die casting in the manufacturing process of the front side member? - Die casting allows for the creation of complex shapes with high precision and durability.


Original Abstract Submitted

a front side member extends in a vehicle front-rear direction at each of both left and right sides in a vehicle width direction, has an open cross-sectional shape in which an opening is provided at at least one side thereof in the vehicle width direction, and is integrally molded by die casting. the front side member includes plural ribs that connect a bottom surface at a side opposite from the opening, a lower surface of an upper wall in a vehicle up-down direction, and an upper surface of a lower wall in the vehicle up-down direction. a minimum rib height of the ribs along the vehicle width direction is set to be equal to or greater than half of a width direction dimension d of the upper wall and the lower wall.
