  • Patent number: 7347770
    Abstract: A two-sided surface grinding apparatus capable of eliminating undulations of concentric circles produced in the work surfaces by grinding, thereby further improving the degree of flatness of the work surfaces after grinding includes a pair of support pads which hold work outwardly of grinding whetstones and noncontactly support the work by the pressure of fluid are formed with notches corresponding to the grinding whetstones and extending from the outer edge to the center, and their noncontact support surfaces are provided with a plurality of pockets having fluid supply holes, and a mesh section forming banks around the peripheries of these pockets, the mesh section being composed of a peripheral edge disposed along the outer periphery of the noncontact support surface, and inside veins disposed so as to divide the inside of the peripheral edges and connected to the inside-and-outside connecting sections.

  • Patent number: 7281756
    Abstract: Provided is an automotive rear body structure which can effectively increase the torsional and bending rigidity of a rear part of the automotive body. A damper stiffener 21 is attached to an outer wall of each wheel house inner 15a so as to jointly define a closed cross section. A floor cross member 22 is attached to the outer walls of floor frames 14 and a rear floor panel 6 so as to jointly define a closed cross section. Each damper stiffener 21 extends to such an extent that its lower end overlaps with the upper end of the corresponding floor frame 14 and is spot welded to the corresponding wheel house inner 15a along with the floor cross member 22. Thereby, a closed cross section frame 23 having ridge lines 1 and 1? continually extending from the bottom wall of the trunk room 13 to each side wall thereof firmly connects the right and left wheel houses 15 and the rear floor panel 6 to the floor frames 14.
