  • Patent number: 8596711
    Abstract: A vehicle front part structure efficiently absorbs collision energy upon a narrow offset collision in which a collision object, such as an oncoming vehicle, makes a front collision with a vehicle outer side outer than a front side frame, and thereby inhibits the vehicle body front part from moving rearward to the vehicle interior side. The vehicle front part includes a pair of left/right front side frames extending along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a power unit disposed at the longitudinal center between the left/right front side frames. The left/right front side frames beside the power unit include branch frames extending toward the vehicle laterally outer side. The rear end portions of the branch frames penetrate the outer surface of the left/right front side frames and extend along an inner wall. Connection members are provided at the front portions of the left/right front side frames.

  • Patent number: 8585134
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a crush area disposed in front end part of each side sill, the crush area being crushable under a collision load upon collision in order to absorb the collision load. A bulkhead is disposed on the rear of the crush area inside the side sill. A reinforcing frame is attached to a side surface of the side sill facing a vehicle interior, one end of the reinforcing frame being joined to surface part of a portion, where the bulkhead is disposed, of the side sill such that the reinforcing frame extends rearwardly and inwardly in a vehicle width direction, the other end thereof being joined to a floor frame.

  • Patent number: 8585133
    Abstract: An automobile vehicle compartment includes an octagonal frame having side sills that extend in the vehicle body fore-and-aft direction, a dashboard lower cross member and middle cross member that extend in the vehicle width direction, and four inclined members, and it is therefore possible to ensure that there is sufficient rigidity both for a collision load from the vehicle body fore-and-aft direction and from the side of the vehicle body, thereby minimizing deformation of the vehicle compartment. Furthermore, since front side frames and a front bumper beam form a U-shaped frame that curves in a U-shape toward the vehicle body fore-and-aft direction in front of the vehicle compartment, it is possible by crushing of the high rigidity U-shaped frame to absorb effectively a collision load from the vehicle body fore-and-aft direction, including an offset collision, thereby preventing more effectively deformation of the vehicle compartment.
