Patent number: 5975623Abstract: A collision energy absorbing structure of a vehicle body upper portion of an automobile having a roofside rail (20) extending in the forward and backward direction and formed to be a closed structure with an outer panel (30) and an inner panel (32) includes a metal energy absorbing panel (22) and a resin interior trim material (24). The energy absorbing panel (22) has a thickness smaller than the thicknesses of the outer panel (30) and the inner panel (32) and is arranged with a space (D) inward of the inner panel. The terminal portion in the longitudinal direction of the energy absorbing panel (22) has a tendency that energy absorption reduces but the tendency is compensated by resin material (26, 28).Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1996Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazutomo Shikimachi, Tatsuya Sugamoto, Hisataka Kato, Narihide Matsuyama, Kenji Gondo

Patent number: 5836641Abstract: A structure of absorbing impact energy using a non-metallic interior material for an automobile is provided. The interior material is arranged on the inside of an inner panel of a structure member which includes the inner panel and an outer panel and is formed to have a closed structure in cross section taken along an horizontal imaginary plane. An energy absorbing space in defined between the inner panel and the interior material. A non-metallic energy absorber formed separately from the interior material is mounted on the inner panel or the interior material so as to be arranged in the space.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1997Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tatsuya Sugamoto, Suga Hitoshi, Masaya Kubo, Yuzuru Imoto
