  • Publication number: 20240017690
    Abstract: A bumper reinforcement includes a main body made of metal, a reinforcing channel member, and a resin block. A mounting portion of a crash box is formed at a vicinity of each end of the main body. The reinforcing channel member includes a web, an upper flange and a lower flange that are placed on an outer panel, an upper panel and a lower panel of the main body at the mounting portion of the crash box, respectively. The reinforcing channel member is extended outward from the each end of the main body. The resin block is provided on an inner face of the reinforcing channel member. The resin block is contact with or joined to the outer panel and an inner panel of the main body at each end of the main body and extended from the each end to an outer edge of the reinforcing channel member.

  • Patent number: 11814105
    Abstract: Provided is a body side panel body side panel (BP) including one metal panel (P1); another metal panel (P2) that forms a space (A) between the one metal panel (P1) and the other metal panel (P2); a resin member (R) that is molded integrally with the one metal panel (P1). The resin member (R) includes link ribs (11A, 11B, 12A, and 12B) that continuously extend respectively along a front edge and a rear edge of a center pillar portion (CP), and along an upper edge and a lower edge of a sill portion (SL), and includes a lower intersection rib (14) that is arranged in an intersection region where a lower end portion of the center pillar portion (CP) and the sill portion (SL) intersect with each other. A clearance (S1) from a distal end portion of each of the link ribs (11A, 11B, 12A, and 12B) to the other metal panel (P2) is smaller than a clearance (S2) from a distal end portion of the intersection rib (14) to the other metal panel (P2). Impact energy in case of side collision is released in two steps.

  • Patent number: 10572861
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a maintenance support method is performed by a wearable device including a first camera and a second camera, and an information processing apparatus. The method includes causing the wearable device to detect identification information of a maintenance target position from a first image shot by the first camera and transmit the identification information and a second image shot by the second camera to the information processing apparatus in correspondence with the detection of the identification information. The method includes causing the information processing apparatus to determine, based on the second image, a situation of a user who wears the wearable device, and record the situation of the user in association with the identification information.
