  • Patent number: 8733825
    Abstract: Provided is a strength reinforcement device for a front shock absorber of a vehicle to provide a sufficient supporting force in spite of a load transferred to the front shock absorber. To this end, a cowl inner lower panel and a reinforce panel which form a box-shape cross-section structure are provided and their both side end portions are integrally connected to shock absorber supporting panels. A support panel is integrally formed in front end portions of both side ends of the cowl inner lower panel to cover and be integrally connected to the front portions of the shock absorber supporting panels, thereby easily distributing the loads transferred in various directions from the shock absorber supporting panels engaged with the front shock absorbers and providing a sufficient supporting force for the shock absorber supporting panels.

  • Patent number: 6334264
    Abstract: A fixation method of a hinge point of a tailgate for an automobile adapted to improve a difficulty of fixing a hinge point due to a difference between a central roof panel and a hinge point of an outer block when a tailgate is mounted. The method of a hinge point of a tailgate for an automobile enables fixation within a short period of time and to preclude interference from a tailgate parting line and a roof panel parting line.
