Patent number: 10562475Abstract: Provided is a vehicle body structure capable of preventing separation between a bumper beam and a bumper beam mounting member on the non-collision side at the time of an offset collision. The vehicle body structure includes a bumper beam, a pair of bumper beam mounting members, and a pair of holding members. The holding member includes an outer mounting portion for mounting an outer side in the vehicle width direction of the holding member on the bumper beam mounting member, and a front mounting portion for mounting an inner side in the vehicle width direction of the holding member on the front surface portion of the bumper beam. The front mounting portion extends to a position corresponding to a vehicle width direction inner end portion of the bumper beam mounting member in a front-rear direction at least on the front surface portion of the bumper beam.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Momoka Fujii, Tomohito Kamada, Isamu Nakanishi

Patent number: 8702153Abstract: Provided is a vehicular door including a load transfer member. The load transfer member includes a transfer member body disposed in a wide-thickness portion in a door body, and a projection projecting downward from the transfer member body. The transfer member body has a lower region whose surface on a door-outer-panel side abuts on, or comes close to, the inner surface of the door outer panel, and an inclined region whose door-outer-panel side surface is inclined to come apart from the door outer panel and whose surface on a door-inner-panel side abuts on, or comes close to, the inner surface of the door inner panel. The thickness of the lower region and the inclined region in a door-thickness direction is set narrower than the width of an insertion portion between the door inner panel and a door beam.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., LtdInventors: Kiyohito Kurokawa, Masakazu Takahashi, Itaru Genpei, Shingo Hakamata, Isamu Nakanishi, Tomofumi Ichinose, Daichi Okamoto, Hakurei Watanabe, Mai Kato, Yuji Nozawa, Yoshihisa Sugamata

Patent number: 6971727Abstract: A vehicle brake system includes a brake mechanism for individually braking wheels, and a brake controller for controlling the brake mechanism against an oblique collision from behind or an offset collision with a host vehicle. The controller includes a collision predictor, a collision direction detector, and a colliding object speed detector. In accordance with a prediction signal transmitted from the collision predictor, a detection signal transmitted from the collision direction detector and a detection signal transmitted from the colliding object speed detector, the controller controls the operation of the brake mechanism to allocate braking forces to the respective wheels so as to prevent the turning of the host vehicle in a collision.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2003Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Ryozo Yoshizawa, Isamu Nakanishi
