  • Axially loaded arrangement for a motor vehicle frame
    Patent number: 6705670
    Abstract: A stabilized frame assembly 32 for a motor vehicle 10 including a pair 34 of forwardly directed brace members 36, 38. Each brace member 36, 38 of the pair 34 is coupled at a forward end 40 to an impact receiving assembly 46 such as a front bumper assembly. The brace members 36, 38 are coupled for support at a rearward end 42 to a respective one of a pair 48 of stabilized support arrangements 50, 52. Each of the stabilized support arrangements 50, 52 are configured to resist deformation under the influence of crash related impact forces having magnitudes in a manageable design range for the stabilized support arrangement 50, 52. Each of the pair of stabilized support arrangements 50, 52 are constructed to include a plurality of support legs 56 that are configured so that loads or forces transmitted from the supported brace member 36, 38 to the stabilized support arrangement 50, 52 are distributed as substantially axial loads in the plurality of support legs 56.
