Patent number: 8534748Abstract: A cross-brace structure for a police interceptor SUV includes a front member and a rear member, coupled through a connecting element. The front member has its two ends mounted over the rear floor of the vehicle, and the rear member has a first end and a second end, mounted on the left side rail and the right side rail of the vehicle, respectively. During an impact from the rear side, the crash load gets transferred to the non-impacted rear side through the rear bumper of the vehicle, and eventually, through the left and right rear side rails, towards the rear member of the cross-brace structure. The rear member transfers the crash load towards the front member, and further, towards the front portions of the vehicle, through the front sections of the left side rail and the right side rail.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2012Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Peyman Aghssa, John Michael McGuckin, Naeem Ahmed Ghias, Andre Thompson, Neil R.

Patent number: 7527327Abstract: The invention discloses a uni-body frame subassembly for a motor vehicle having a towing hitch member. The uni-body frame subassembly involves a configuration for neutralizing the effect of a rear impact involving the rear bumper and the towing hitch member. More specifically, the subassembly comprises reinforcements for supporting and controlling the frame rail segments in a crash event. Controlling the collapse of the uni-body frame subassembly helps to dissipate energy from the impact and as a result delivers less energy to a vehicle occupant compartment.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2007Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Peyman Aghssa, John Michael McGuckin, Ali Kanberoglu, Behrooz Shahidi, Mohammad Ali, Shekar Prabhakar Erasala
