Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a front structure for a vehicle body.
- The front structure includes front side frames, a cross member, a bumper beam, a reinforce, and truss chassis members.
- The front side frames are in a pair and the cross member is coupled to one of the front side frames.
- The bumper beam has one end coupled to a bent portion and another end extending to a joint where the front side frame and the cross member are coupled.
- The reinforce is connected to the front side frame and the cross member via the truss chassis member.
- Each truss chassis member has three pinned supports: a first pinned support fixed in the cross member, a second pinned support movable and rotatable in the joint, and a third pinned support movable and rotatable in the front side frame.
- The third pinned support is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the second pinned support.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle body front structure includes: front side frames in a pair; a cross member; a bumper beam, a reinforce having one end coupled to a bent portion of the bumper beam and another end extending to a joint where one of the front side frames and the cross member are coupled to each other; and truss chassis members. Each truss chassis member includes, as vertices: a first pinned support pivotally fixed in the cross member; a second pinned support movable and rotatable, and disposed in the joint between the corresponding front side frame and the cross member; and a third pinned support movable and rotatable, and disposed in the corresponding front side frame and closer to a rear of the vehicle than the second pinned support. The reinforce is secured to the front side frame and the cross member via the truss chassis member.
