Patent number: 11345412Abstract: In a vehicle bottom structure, a floor panel to which a cross member is fixed is connected to a rocker inner which is a skeleton member. The floor panel and the rocker inner are sealed from a lower side by a lower seal member, but a region near the reinforcement member is a lower non-sealed part which cannot be sealed. Further, the floor panel and the rocker inner are sealed from an upper side by an upper seal member, but a region near the cross member is an upper non-sealed part which cannot be sealed. On respective sides of the upper non-sealed part, connecting seal members are provided, so that the lower seal member and the upper seal member are connected and a waterproof line is formed.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yoshinori Domon, Akira Nishino, Hideki Kanki

Patent number: 10988179Abstract: A suspension member is mounted on the side members of an underbody. On the rear portion of the suspension member, spacers are provided between the suspension member and the underbody. Each spacer includes a bracket. The front end surface of the bracket is opposed to the rear wall surface of a main suspension body. During a frontal collision, the rear wall surface of the suspension member abuts against the bracket, whereby retreat of the suspension member is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshihito Tomizawa, Yoshinori Domon, Akira Nishino

Patent number: 10875580Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a front side member disposed on each of opposite lateral sides in a front portion of a vehicle, and a crash box disposed forward of the front side member. The crash box extends further outward in a vehicle width direction with respect to the front side member. The motor vehicle further includes a triangular gusset attached to the front side member and the crash box. The triangular gusset includes an oblique portion extending diagonally forward from where the triangular gusset is joined to the front side member. A reinforcing patch is further disposed close to the triangular gusset along the oblique portion of the triangular gusset. This vehicle structure enables transmission to the front side member of a load input to the gusset, which is greater than an assumed load.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Toshiharu Shinya, Yoshinori Domon, Haruhiko Yamamoto, Akira Sabu
